20、ion comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes Internatio
21、nal Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in t
22、his preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the t
23、wo organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have t
24、he form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinte
25、rpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national
26、 or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carr
27、ied out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Com
28、mittees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn
29、to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be
30、 held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62574 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: CDV Report on voting 100/1706/CDV 100/
31、1773/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. 4 62574 IEC:2011 The committee has decided that the content
32、s of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. 62574 IEC:2011 5
33、INTRODUCTION There are many multichannel audio formats and there will be new formats. These formats have a specific channel assignment such as a channel mapping and channel labels, but the basic channel assignments are not so different from each other. These can be unified to one common channel assi
34、gnment as the general channel assignment. This general channel assignment provides audio devices and digital audio interfaces with the usage of unified channel assignments for any multichannel audio formats. 6 62574 IEC:2011 AUDIO, VIDEO AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS GENERAL CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT OF MULTICHAN
35、NEL AUDIO 1 Scope This International Standard 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. Thi
36、s 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. 2 Terms and definit
37、ions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. NOTE The general sequence of position labels is used: height, front/back, left/centre/right. Absence of a height letter indicates the middle layer. The other two planes are always indicated. See also Table 1. 2.1 top
