Detailed Description

A frequency-dependent Ambisonic decoder for reproducing Ambisonic sound scenes over loudspeakers.

Different decoder settings can be specified for the low and high frequencies. A number of decoding options are also offered, including [1,2]. When utilising spherical harmonic signals derived from real microphone arrays, this implementation also allows the decoding order to be specified per frequency band; of course, this may also be used creatively. An optional, loudspeaker channel binauraliser is included, along with with SOFA file loading, for headphone listening.

The algorithms utilised in this Ambisonic decoder were pieced together and developed in collaboration with Archontis Politis.

Test: test__saf_example_ambi_dec()

◆ ambi_dec_init()

void ambi_dec_init	(	void *const	hAmbi,

Initialises an instance of ambi_dec with default settings.

Warning: This should not be called while _process() is on-going!

Parameters

[in]	hAmbi	ambi_dec handle
[in]	samplerate	Host samplerate.

Definition at line 170 of file ambi_dec.c.

◆ ambi_dec_initCodec()

void ambi_dec_initCodec ( void *const hAmbi )

Intialises the codec variables, based on current global/user parameters.

Note: This function is fully threadsafe. It can even be called periodically via a timer on one thread, while calling _process() on another thread. Since, if a set function is called (that warrants a re-init), then a flag is triggered internally and the next time this function is called, it will wait until the current process() function has completed before reinitialising the relevant parameters. If the _initCodec() takes longer than the time it takes for process() to be called again, then process() is simply bypassed until the codec is ready.; This function does nothing if no re-initialisations are required.

Parameters

[in] hAmbi ambi_dec handle

Definition at line 183 of file ambi_dec.c.

◆ ambi_dec_process()
