Audio, video and multimedia systems - General channel assignment of multichannel audio

IEC 62574:2011 specifies the general channel assignment for multichannel audio formats. The general channel assignment as a channel mapping and labeling provides the unified usage of channel assignments for source devices, digital audio interfaces and sink devices. This standard excludes the specification of the exact position of each loudspeaker. It is aimed at consumer applications, but is not targeted for theatrical environments. Up to 32 labels for loudspeaker positions are specified, which can be used for all current multichannel formats.

Audio-, Video- und Multimediasysteme - Allgemeine Zuordnung der Kanäle von Mehrkanal-Tonsystemen

Systèmes audio, vidéo et multimédia - Affectation générale des voies des systèmes audio à voies multiples

La CEI 62574:2011 spécifie l'affectation générale des voies applicables aux formats audio à voies multiples. Cette affectation générale des voies, comme mappage et étiquetage des voies uniformise la pratique de l'affectation des voies pour les dispositifs sources, les interfaces audionumériques et les dispositifs récepteurs. La présente norme exclut la spécification de la position exacte de chacun des haut-parleurs; elle vise les applications grand public et non les salles de spectacle. Jusqu'à 32 étiquettes de positions de haut-parleurs sont spécifiées, ce qui convient pour tous les formats actuels à voies multiples.

Avdio, video in večpredstavnostni sistemi - Splošno dodeljevanje kanalov večkanalskega avdia (IEC 62574:2011)

Ta mednarodni standard določa splošno dodeljevanje kanalov za večkanalske avdioformate. Splošno dodeljevanje kanalov kot porazdeljevanje in označevanje kanalov zagotavlja enotno uporabo dodeljevanja kanalov za izvirne naprave, digitalne avdiovmesnike in namembne naprave. Ta standard izključuje specifikacijo točnega položaja vsakega zvočnika. Primeren je za potrošniško uporabo, vendar ne za gledališka okolja. Za položaje zvočnikov, ki se lahko uporabijo za vse trenutne večkanalske formate, je določenih do 32 oznak.
