Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that
are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of
technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also
take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

The baseline profile is a subset of the low-complexity profile. If a decoder implementation supports
decoding of low complexity profile level 3 bitstreams and supports the configuration extension
CompatibleProfileLevelSet(), then the decoder shall support decoding of bitstreams encoded according
to the baseline profile level 3. Bitstreams complying to the baseline profile may be signalled using:
— the mpegh3daProfileLevelIndication field set to indicate baseline profile as specified in Table 64, or
alternatively,
— the mpegh3daProfileLevelIndication field set to indicate low complexity profile as specified in
Table 64 and the CompatibleProfileLevelSet configuration extension for indicating compatibility to
baseline profile, as described in Annex P.
Additionally, it is strongly recommended that low complexity profile bitstreams conforming to the
baseline profile, are signalled using the profile and level values for mpegh3daProfileLevelIndication
and CompatibleSetIndication given in Table P.1.
Subclause 4.8.2.4
Add new subclauses 4.8.2.5, 4.8.2.6 and 4.8.2.7 after subclause 4.8.2.4:

bitstream that shall be decoded.
— If the mae_AudioSceneInfo() contains switch groups (mae_numSwitchGroups>0), then the
elementLengthPresent flag shall be 1.
— The number of channels of the signalled referenceLayout shall not exceed the values defined in the
levels in Table AMD2.1.
— Object renderer and binaural renderer that perform at least as well as the object and binaural
renderer specified in Clauses 8 and 13 may be integrated using the output interfaces for un-rendered
channels and objects described in subclause 17.10.

NOTE The performance recommendation covers the behaviour of the decoder over the complete
decoding and rendering chain, especially for the case of configuration changes as described in subclause
5.5.6, mixing of channel and object content or DRC processing, loudness compensation and user interactivity.
— For Level 3 the maximum number of decoder processed core channels and maximum number of
channels signalled in referenceLayout is:
a) 16 if no additional complexity restrictions are applied,
b) 24 if all the complexity restrictions in 4.8.2.5.1 are applied.
4.8.2.5.2 Complexity restrictions for Level 3 with more than 16 decoder processed core channels
— signalGroupType in Signals3d() shall indicate SignalGroupTypeObject (Objects only).
— usacElementType[elemIdx] in mpegh3daDecoderConfig() shall indicate ID_USAC_SCE or ID_
USAC_EXT.
— noiseFilling and enhancedNoiseFilling in mpegh3daCoreConfig() shall be set to "0".
— usacExtElementType in mpegh3daExtElementConfig() shall not be set to ID_EXT_ELE_MCT.
— Long term prediction filter shall not be used, i.e., ltpf_data_present and common_ltpf shall be
set to "0".
— Frequency domain predictor shall not be used, i.e., fdp_data_present shall be set to "0".
4.8.2.6 Restrictions for the baseline profile and levels
All restrictions defined for low complexity profile in subclause 4.8.2.2 shall apply.
The LPD path of the core coder and HOA path are not supported.

The baseline profile is a subset of the low-complexity profile. If a decoder implementation supports
decoding of low complexity profile level 3 bitstreams and supports the configuration extension
CompatibleProfileLevelSet(), then the decoder shall support decoding of bitstreams encoded according
to the baseline profile level 3. Bitstreams complying to the baseline profile may be signalled using:
— the mpegh3daProfileLevelIndication field set to indicate baseline profile as specified in Table 64, or
alternatively,
— the mpegh3daProfileLevelIndication field set to indicate low complexity profile as specified in
Table 64 and the CompatibleProfileLevelSet configuration extension for indicating compatibility to
baseline profile, as described in Annex P.
Additionally, it is strongly recommended that low complexity profile bitstreams conforming to the
baseline profile, are signalled using the profile and level values for mpegh3daProfileLevelIndication
and CompatibleSetIndication given in Table P.1.
Subclause 4.8.2.4

b
Additional complexity restrictions given in 4.8.2.5.1 are applied.
— The use of switch groups determines the subset of core channels from the core channels in the
bitstream that shall be decoded.
— If the mae_AudioSceneInfo() contains switch groups (mae_numSwitchGroups>0), then the
elementLengthPresent flag shall be 1.
— The number of channels of the signalled referenceLayout shall not exceed the values defined in the
levels in Table AMD2.1.
— Object renderer and binaural renderer that perform at least as well as the object and binaural
renderer specified in Clauses 8 and 13 may be integrated using the output interfaces for un-rendered
channels and objects described in subclause 17.10.

NOTE The performance recommendation covers the behaviour of the decoder over the complete
decoding and rendering chain, especially for the case of configuration changes as described in subclause
5.5.6, mixing of channel and object content or DRC processing, loudness compensation and user interactivity.
— For Level 3 the maximum number of decoder processed core channels and maximum number of
channels signalled in referenceLayout is:
a) 16 if no additional complexity restrictions are applied,
b) 24 if all the complexity restrictions in 4.8.2.5.1 are applied.
4.8.2.5.2 Complexity restrictions for Level 3 with more than 16 decoder processed core channels
— signalGroupType in Signals3d() shall indicate SignalGroupTypeObject (Objects only).
— usacElementType[elemIdx] in mpegh3daDecoderConfig() shall indicate ID_USAC_SCE or ID_
USAC_EXT.
— noiseFilling and enhancedNoiseFilling in mpegh3daCoreConfig() shall be set to "0".
— usacExtElementType in mpegh3daExtElementConfig() shall not be set to ID_EXT_ELE_MCT.
— Long term prediction filter shall not be used, i.e., ltpf_data_present and common_ltpf shall be
set to "0".
— Frequency domain predictor shall not be used, i.e., fdp_data_present shall be set to "0".
4.8.2.6 Restrictions for the baseline profile and levels
All restrictions defined for low complexity profile in subclause 4.8.2.2 shall apply.
The LPD path of the core coder and HOA path are not supported.
Restrictions defined in Table AMD2.2 shall apply.
