MPEG-2 Part 3

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Part 3 of the MPEG-2 standard (formally known as ISO/IEC 13818-3, also known as MPEG-2 Audio or MPEG-2 BC) defines audio coding:

The MPEG-2 Part 3 should not be confused with MPEG-2 Part 7: AAC a.k.a. MPEG-2 NBC (Non-Backward Compatible) - the MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding with support for multichannel encoding (up to 48 channels).[1][2]

Overview

[edit]

MPEG-2 Part 3 introduced new audio encoding methods compared to MPEG-1 Part 3:[7] MPEG-2 BC (backward compatible with MPEG-1 audio formats)[1][2][5]

  • low bitrate encoding with halved sampling rate (MPEG-1 Layer 1/2/3 LSF - "Low Sampling Frequencies")
  • multichannel encoding with up to 5.1 channels
