VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUM CODIEREN EINES ZEITDISKRETEN STEREOSIGNALS

NOVELTY - The coding method has a mono signal (M) formed from the stereo signal, which is then coded and transmitted as a bit stream, with subsequent decoding of the mono signal and formation of stereo information using the coded/decoded mono signal (M') and the 2 stereo channels (L,R). The stereo information is coded and transmitted within the bit stream USE - For scaled coding of music signals. ADVANTAGE - The coding method provides audio coding with hi-fi or compact disc quality.
