5.6.5 LC Request for new LSRAI with optional LR Notification
This procedure flow is used when the LC requests the LR to send it new LSRAI. Optionally, the procedure flow enables the LR to receive an acknowledgement from the LC upon reception of the new LSRAI. The acknowledgement may allow informing the Incumbent that the LSA Licensee has received the new LSRAI (e.g. changed prot...

4 Methods for realistic sound reproduction
For reproduction of real world sound fields there exists a variety of different methods, two of them are wave field synthesis [i.1] and Ambisonics [i.2]. Both methods, however, require a large number of microphones and loudspeakers to achieve a sound field reproduction which is sufficiently good for testing purposes. T...

5.1.1 Principle limitations
With a perfect sound field reproduction at two closely spaced points, the cut-off frequency up to which the sound field in between those two points is also correctly reproduced depends on their distance. This upper cut-off frequency can be estimated as: (1) where dmax is the maximum distance between two microphones and...

For equalization the same microphone array setup with the same microphone position has to be used as for the recording setup described in clause 5.2.

6.2.3 Pre-processing of the impulse responses
As motivated in clause 5.1.1, the sound field is only correctly reproduced up to a cut-off frequency, which is in the range between 2 kHz and 3 kHz for the given microphone setup. For higher frequencies, the tail of the impulse response degrades the quality of the inversion. To cope with that, a low pass filter with a ...

6.2.4.2 Different microphones for different frequency bands

1 Scope
The present document specifies the object model, reference renderer, bitstream syntax and broadcast extensions for MDA. MDA, short for Multi-Dimension Audio, is a metadata model and bitstream representation of an object-based soundfield for linear content, for use in cinema and broadcast applications. The presentdocume...

4.1 Introduction (informative)
The MDA Program, or simply Program hereafter, is a self-contained object-based audio program. As such it consists of a collection of audio objects, each combining an audio waveform with metadata. The metadata indicates, for instance, when the object occurs on the Program timeline or where it is positioned within the so...

4.2 Timeline
An MDA Program defines a sample-accurate timeline onto which Entity instances are placed (see Figure 4.7). Positions and durations on the timeline shall be expressed as integer multiples of the inverse of the Program audio sample rate (see Clause 4.5.5.3), i.e. as an integer number of audio samples. In other words, the...

4.3 Audio Objects
Figure 4.3: MDA Audio Object An MDA Audio Object represents an identifiable sequence of Entity instances (see Clause 4.5.6) within the time span of an MDA Program. It is uniquely identified by its (identification) number id, and aggregates all of the MDA Entity instances in the MDA Program with that same identification...

4.4 Coordinate System
The present document uses the Cartesian coordinate system illustrated in Figure 4.4 and specified as follows: • the listener is located at the origin O=(0,0,0), facing the front of the room; • the positive z-axis is perpendicular to the floor of the room, and directed to the ceiling; • the positive y-axis is directed t...

4.5.1 General
The Program object model is specified using a combination of prose and UML notation. The prose shall take precedence over the UML notation in case of conflict. If an optional property is absent, its value shall be unspecified unless a default value is provided, in which case its value shall be the default value. Values...

4.5.5.2 programURI
The programURI property SHALL uniquely identify the Program instance. It shall consist of no more than 64 characters, with the meaning of character specified in RFC 3986 [1]. Two Program instances may have identical programURI values if and only if the two instances are identical.

4.5.5.4 constraintSets
The Program object model may be constrained and extended by multiple applications, each potentially defining additional metadata properties and applying a set of constraints beyond those specified herein. Implementations can use the constraintSets to rapidly determine whether they are capable of processing a Program. E...
