Abstract:
The present technology relates to an encoding device and method, a decoding device and method, and a program which can obtain high quality audio with a less code amount.A signal encoding unit encodes audio signals and outputs a resultant signal code string. A coefficient encoding unit encodes mixing coefficients for use in a mixing process of the audio signals and outputs a resultant coefficient code string. A multiplexing unit multiplexes the signal code string and the coefficient code string and outputs a resultant output code string. The coefficient encoding unit rearranges the mixing coefficients at the time of encoding the mixing coefficients on the basis of distances between input-side sound source positions and speaker positions on a reproduction side and calculates differential values between the mixing coefficients on the basis of arrangement order of the mixing coefficients, thereby encoding the mixing coefficients. The present technology is applicable to the encoding device and the decoding device.

Abstract:
The present technology relates to an audio signal processing device and method, an encoding device and method, and a program, which are capable of obtaining a higher quality sound. A selection unit selects, from supplied multichannel audio signals, audio signals of a channel of a dialogue sound and audio signals of a channel to be downmixed. A downmixing unit downmixes the audio signals of the channel to be downmixed. An addition unit adds the audio signals of the channel of a dialogue sound to audio signals of a predetermined channel among audio signals of one or more channels obtained in the downmixing. The present technology can be applied to a decoder.
