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. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.

Part 4:
Dynamic Range Control
AMENDMENT 1: Parametric DRC, gain mapping and
equalization tools
Page vi, Introduction
Add the following at the end of the Introduction:
Loudness normalization is fully integrated with DRC and peak control to avoid clipping. A metadata-
controlled equalization tool is provided to compensate for playback scenarios that impact the spectral
balance, such as downmix or DRC. Furthermore, the DRC tool supports metadata-based loudness
equalization to compensate the effect of playback level changes on the spectral balance.

Page 2, Clause 4
Insert the following new definitions and maintain the alphabetical order:
mod modulo operator: (x mod y) = x-y floor (x/y)
sizeof(x) size operator that returns the bit size of a field

Page 3, Clause 5
Replace the first paragraph:
The technology described in this part of ISO/IEC 23003 is called DRC tool. It provides efficient control
of dynamic range, loudness, and clipping based on metadata generated at the encoder. The decoder can
choose to selectively apply the metadata to the audio signal to achieve a desired result. Metadata for
dynamic range compression consists of encoded time-varying gain values that can be applied to the
audio signal. Hence, the main blocks of the DRC tool include a DRC gain encoder, a DRC gain decoder, a
DRC gain modification block, and a DRC gain application block. These blocks are exercised on a frame-
by-frame basis during audio processing. Various DRC configurations can be conveyed in a separate
bitstream element, such as configurations for a downmix or combined DRCs. The DRC set selection
block decides based on the playback scenario and the applicable DRC configurations which DRC gains
to apply to the audio signal. Moreover, the DRC tool supports loudness normalization based on loudness
metadata.

gain decoder can also receive parametric DRC metadata for generation of time-varying gain values
at the decoder. Various DRC configurations can be conveyed in a separate bitstream element, such as
configurations for a downmix or combined DRCs. The DRC set selection block decides based on the
playback scenario and the applicable DRC configurations which DRC gains to apply to the audio signal.
Moreover, the DRC tool supports loudness normalization based on loudness metadata.

Page 3, Clause 5
Add the following at the end of the clause:
The DRC tool provides support for loudness equalization, or sometimes called “loudness compensation”,
that can be applied to compensate for the effect of the playback level on the spectral balance. For this
purpose, time-varying loudness information can be recovered from DRC gain sequences to dynamically
control the compensation module. While the compensation module is out of scope, the interface
describes in which frequency ranges the loudness information should be applied.
A flexible tool for generic metadata-controlled equalization is provided. The tool can be used to reach
the desired spectral balance of the reproduced audio signal depending on a wide variety of playback
scenarios, such as downmix, DRC, or playback room size. It can operate in the sub-band domain of an
audio decoder and in the time domain.

Replace the last two paragraphs:
uniDrcConfig() contains all blocks except for the loudnessInfo() blocks which are bundled in
loudnessInfoSet(). The last part of the uniDrcConfig() payload can include future extension payloads.
In the event that a uniDrcConfigExtType value is received that is not equal to UNIDRCCONFEXT_TERM,
the DRC tool parser shall read and discard the bits (otherBit) of the extension payload. Similarly, the
last part of the loudnessInfoSet() payload can include future extension payloads. In the event that a
loudnessInfoSetExtType value is received that is not equal to UNIDRCLOUDEXT_TERM, the DRC tool
parser shall read and discard the bits (otherBit) of the extension payload.
The top level fields of uniDrcConfig() include the audio sample rate, which is a fundamental parameter
for the decoding process (if not present, the audio sample rate is inherited from the employed audio
codec). Moreover, the top level fields of uniDrcConfig() include the number of instances of each of
the logical blocks, except for the channelLayout() block which appears only once. The top level fields
of loudnessInfoSet() only include the number of loudnessInfo() blocks. The five logical blocks are
described in the following.

otherwise. An extension payload of type UNIDRCCONFEXT_V1 shall preceed an extension payload
of type UNIDRCCONFEXT_PARAM_DRC in the bitstream if both payloads are present. Note that for
ISO/IEC 14496-12, configuration extension payloads are provided according to Table AMD1.26.

6.1.2.2 downmixInstructions()
This block includes a unique non-zero downmix identifier (downmixId) that can be used externally to
refer to this downmix. The targetChannelCount specifies the number of channels after downmixing to
the target layout. It may also contain downmix coefficients, unless they are specified elsewhere. For
use cases where the base audio signal represents objects or other audio content, the downmixId can be
used to refer to a specific target channel configuration of a present rendering engine.

use cases where the base audio signal represents objects or other audio content, the downmixId can
be used to refer to a specific target channel configuration of a present rendering engine. In contrast
to downmixInstructions(), the downmixInstructionsV1() payload includes an offset for all downmix
coefficients and the coefficient decoding does not depend on the LFE channel assignment. The
downmixInstructions() box for ISO/IEC 14496-12 contains the corresponding metadata of either one of
the in-stream payloads as indicated by the version parameter of the box.

Replace the second paragraph with:
The DRC location field encoding depends on the audio codec. A codec specification may include this
specification, and use values 1 to 4 to refer to codec-specific locations as indicated in Table 2. For
example, for AAC (ISO/IEC 14496-3), the codec-specific values of the DRC location field are encoded as
shown in Table 3.

Page 6, 6.1.2.3
Add new paragraph before 6.1.2.4:
The drcCoefficientsUniDrcV1() payload is defined in Table AMD1.24. It contains the same information
as drcCoefficientsUniDrc() except for the assignment of DRC gain sequences to gain sets and the
optional specification of a number of parametric DRC characteristics. The drcCoefficientsUniDrc()
payload assigns gain sequences in order of transmission. In contrast, the drcCoefficientsUniDrcV1()
payload maps a gain sequence by index to gainSets. The latter permits to refer to the same gain
sequence for multiple DRC bands which is not possible when using drcCoefficientsUniDrc(). If a
drcCoefficientsUniDrcV1() payload is present, any drcCoefficientsUniDrc() payload for the same
location is ignored.
The drcCoefficientsUniDrcV1() payload can also include information about dynamic equalization
filters if the field shapingFiltersPresent==1. There can be a number of filters that are indexed in order of
appearance. The DRC sets defined in drcInstructionsUniDrcV1() can refer to specific filters using their
indices (see 6.4.11).

Insert the following after the first paragraph of 6.1.2.4:
The drcInstructionsUniDrcV1() payload is defined in Table AMD1.25. Compared to the
drcInstructionsUniDrc() payload, it contains the same information plus several enhancements.
However, the downmixIDs that appear in the two payloads are interpreted differently. For

drcInstructionsUniDrcV1(), the downmixIDs indicate which downmix configuration is permitted in
combination with this DRC, but it does not specify whether the DRC is applied to the downmix or the
base layout. This is controlled by the drcApplyToDownmix flag instead.
The enhanced metadata of drcInstructionsUniDrcV1() compared to drcInstructionsUniDrc() includes
references to target DRC characteristics and dynamic equalization filters. If a target characteristic is
referenced, the corresponding DRC gain values shall be mapped to the target characteristic unless the
host system overrides the target characteristic as specified in Table 16. If dynamic equalization filters
are referenced, they shall be applied when the corresponding DRC set is selected and when this feature
is supported by the decoder implementation (see 6.4.11).

Page 7, 6.1.2.4
Replace the paragraphs:
A second DRC set may be specified for certain configurations. These configurations include cases
where, e.g. one DRC set is used for dynamic range compression and the other for clipping prevention
(“Clipping” bit is set); or, e.g. one DRC set is applied before and the other after the downmix. In those
cases, the second DRC set contains a non-zero field dependsOnDrcSet that has the value of the drcSetId
of the first DRC set it depends on. The declared DRC set effects of the second DRC set do not take into
account the effects of the first DRC set. If the first DRC set is not designed to be used without combining
it with another DRC set, the noIndependentUse flag shall be set to 1. In that case, the DRC set can only
be used in combination with another DRC set as indicated by the dependsOnDrcSet field of the other set
that is combined with it.
Usually, each audio channel is assigned to a DRC gain sequence. A collection of channels assigned to
the same DRC gain sequence is called “channel group”. The assignment of a DRC gain sequence to a
channel group is done in the order of first appearance of the sequence index when iterating through all
channels (see also Table 14). A DRC gain sequence index bsSequenceIndex==0 indicates that the assigned
channel will be passed through by the DRC tool without processing unless otherwise noted. Note that
therefore bsSequenceIndex is effectively 1-based, whereas the corresponding indices (sequenceIndex) for
processing are zero-based.
If subsequent channels are assigned the same sequence index, the field repeatSequenceCount indicates
how many channels will have the same sequence not including the first.
With:
A second DRC set may be specified for certain configurations. These configurations include cases where,
for example, one DRC set is used for dynamic range compression and the other for clipping prevention
(“Clipping” bit is set); or, for example, one DRC set is applied before and the other after the downmix.
In those cases, the first DRC set contains a non-zero field dependsOnDrcSet that has the value of the
drcSetId of the second DRC set it depends on. The declared DRC set effects of the first DRC set do not
take into account the effects of the second DRC set. If the second DRC set is not designed to be used
without combining it with another DRC set, the noIndependentUse flag shall be set to 1. In that case, the
DRC set can only be used in combination with another DRC set as indicated by the dependsOnDrcSet
field of the other set that is combined with it.
If a second DRC is specified by the dependsOnDrcSet field of a drcInstructionsUniDrcV1() payload,
the combined DRCs cannot be applied if the DRC decoder downmix configuration does not match any
downmixID in any of the two corresponding drcInstructionsUniDrcV1() payloads. Please note that these
downmix configurations may include the output of the base layout without downmix, which is specified
by a downmixID==0. Otherwise, the combined DRC is compatible with the downmix.
A DRC gain set is a set of DRC gain sequences, where the sequences are assigned to the bands of a multi-
band DRC. For a single band DRC, the gain set contains just one gain sequence. Usually, each audio
channel is assigned to a DRC gain set. A collection of channels assigned to the same DRC gain set is
called “channel group”. The assignment of a DRC gain set to a channel group is done in the order of first
appearance of the set index when iterating through all channels (see also Table 14). A DRC gain set index

bsGainSetIndex==0 indicates that the assigned channel will be passed through by the DRC tool without
processing unless otherwise noted. Note that therefore, bsGainSetIndex is effectively 1-based, whereas
the corresponding indices (gainSetIndex) are zero-based.
If subsequent channels are assigned the same gain set index, the field repeatGainSetCount indicates how
many channels will have the same gain set not including the first.

and others (see Table A.37). System 3 is defined as ITU-R BS.1770-3 with pre-processing. The pre-
processing is a high-pass filter that models the typical limited frequency response of portable device
loudspeakers. System 4 is defined as “User”. It means that the corresponding methodValue reflects a
(subjective) user preference. System 5 is defined as “Expert/Panel”. It means that the corresponding
methodValue represents a (subjective) expert or panel preference.

drcSetEffect field are described in detail in Table A.32. All parameters that can be supplied by the host
to control loudness normalization and dynamic range compression are summarized in Table A.40 and
Table A.41, respectively.
If the DRC tool is configured to support equalization (EQ) according to 6.8, the selection process
includes the EQ-related metadata and the final selection also considers requests for specific EQ, such as
EQ dependent on the playback room size. Otherwise, the preselection discards all DRC sets that require
EQ, i.e. which have a value of requiresEq==1.
