All references to PS (Parametric Stereo) are only applicable to HE-AAC v2 +versions of the library. + +\section encBasics Encoder Basics + +This document can only give a rough overview about the ISO/MPEG-2 and ISO/MPEG-4 AAC audio coding +standard. To understand all the terms in this document, you are encouraged to read the following documents. + +- ISO/IEC 13818-7 (MPEG-2 AAC), which defines the syntax of MPEG-2 AAC audio bitstreams. +- ISO/IEC 14496-3 (MPEG-4 AAC, subparts 1 and 4), which defines the syntax of MPEG-4 AAC audio bitstreams. +- Lutzky, Schuller, Gayer, Krämer, Wabnik, "A guideline to audio codec delay", 116th AES Convention, May 8, 2004 + +MPEG Advanced Audio Coding is based on a time-to-frequency mapping of the signal. The signal is +partitioned into overlapping portions and transformed into frequency domain. The spectral components +are then quantized and coded. \n +An MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AAC audio bitstream is composed of frames. Contrary to MPEG-1/2 Layer-3 (mp3), the +length of individual frames is not restricted to a fixed number of bytes, but can take on any length +between 1 and 768 bytes. + + +\page LIBUSE Library Usage + +\section InterfaceDescription API Files + +All API header files are located in the folder /include of the release package. All header files +are provided for usage in C/C++ programs. The AAC encoder library API functions are located at +aacenc_lib.h. + +In binary releases the encoder core resides in statically linkable libraries called for example +libAACenc.a/libFDK.a (LINUX) or FDK_fastaaclib.lib (MS Visual C++) for the plain AAC-LC core encoder +and libSBRenc.a (LINUX) or FDK_sbrEncLib.lib (MS Visual C++) for the SBR (Spectral Band +Replication) and PS (Parametric Stereo) modules. + +\section CallingSequence Calling Sequence + +For encoding of ISO/MPEG-2/4 AAC bitstreams the following sequence is mandatory. Input read and output +write functions as well as the corresponding open and close functions are left out, since they may be +implemented differently according to the user's specific requirements. The example implementation in +main.cpp uses file-based input/output. + +-# Call aacEncOpen() to allocate encoder instance with required \ref encOpen "configuration".\n +\dontinclude main.cpp +\skipline hAacEncoder = +\skipline aacEncOpen +-# Call aacEncoder_SetParam() for each parameter to be set.

This is required when using RFC3640 or RFC3016 like transport. +\dontinclude main.cpp +\skipline encInfo +\skipline aacEncInfo +-# Encode input audio data in loop. +\skip Encode as long as +\skipline do +\until { +Feed \ref feedInBuf "input buffer" with new audio data and provide input/output \ref bufDes "arguments" to aacEncEncode(). +\skipline aacEncEncode +\until ; +Write \ref writeOutData "output data" to file or audio device. \skipline while +-# Call aacEncClose() and destroy encoder instance. +\skipline aacEncClose + +\section encOpen Encoder Instance Allocation + +The assignment of the aacEncOpen() function is very flexible and can be used in the following way. +- If the amount of memory consumption is not an issue, the encoder instance can be allocated +for the maximum number of possible audio channels (for example 6 or 8) with the full functional range supported by the library. +This is the default open procedure for the AAC encoder if memory consumption does not need to be minimized. +\code aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,0,0) \endcode +- If the required MPEG-4 AOTs do not call for the full functional range of the library, encoder modules can be allocated selectively. +\verbatim +------------------------------------------------------ + AAC | SBR | PS | MD | FLAGS | value +-----+-----+-----+----+-----------------------+------- + X | - | - | - | (0x01) | 0x01 + X | X | - | - | (0x01|0x02) | 0x03 + X | X | X | - | (0x01|0x02|0x04) | 0x07 + X | - | - | X | (0x01 |0x10) | 0x11 + X | X | - | X | (0x01|0x02 |0x10) | 0x13 + X | X | X | X | (0x01|0x02|0x04|0x10) | 0x17 +------------------------------------------------------ + - AAC: Allocate AAC Core Encoder module. + - SBR: Allocate Spectral Band Replication module. + - PS: Allocate Parametric Stereo module. + - MD: Allocate Meta Data module within AAC encoder. +\endverbatim +\code aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,value,0) \endcode +- Specifying the maximum number of channels to be supported in the encoder instance can be done as follows. + - For example allocate an encoder instance which supports 2 channels for all supported AOTs. + The library itself may be capable of encoding up to 6 or 8 channels but in this example only 2 channel encoding is required and thus only buffers for 2 channels are allocated to save data memory. +\code aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,0,2) \endcode + - Additionally the maximum number of supported channels in the SBR module can be denoted separately.\n + In this example the encoder instance provides a maximum of 6 channels out of which up to 2 channels support SBR. + This encoder instance can produce for example 5.1 channel AAC-LC streams or stereo HE-AAC (v2) streams. + HE-AAC 5.1 multi channel is not possible since only 2 out of 6 channels support SBR, which saves data memory. +\code aacEncOpen(&hAacEncoder,0,6|(2<<8)) \endcode +\n + +\section bufDes Input/Output Arguments + +\subsection allocIOBufs Provide Buffer Descriptors +In the present encoder API, the input and output buffers are described with \ref AACENC_BufDesc "buffer descriptors". This mechanism allows a flexible handling +of input and output buffers without impact to the actual encoding call. Optional buffers are necessary e.g. for ancillary data, meta data input or additional output +buffers describing superframing data in DAB+ or DRM+.\n +At least one input buffer for audio input data and one output buffer for bitstream data must be allocated. The input buffer size can be a user defined multiple +of the number of input channels. PCM input data will be copied from the user defined PCM buffer to an internal input buffer and so input data can be less than one AAC audio frame. +The output buffer size should be 6144 bits per channel excluding the LFE channel. +If the output data does not fit into the provided buffer, an AACENC_ERROR will be returned by aacEncEncode(). +\dontinclude main.cpp +\skipline inputBuffer +\until outputBuffer +All input and output buffer must be clustered in input and output buffer arrays. +\skipline inBuffer +\until outBufferElSize +Allocate buffer descriptors +\skipline AACENC_BufDesc +\skipline AACENC_BufDesc +Initialize input buffer descriptor +\skipline inBufDesc +\until bufElSizes +Initialize output buffer descriptor +\skipline outBufDesc +\until bufElSizes + +\subsection argLists Provide Input/Output Argument Lists +The input and output arguments of an aacEncEncode() call are described in argument structures. +\dontinclude main.cpp +\skipline AACENC_InArgs +\skipline AACENC_OutArgs + +\section feedInBuf Feed Input Buffer +The input buffer should be handled as a modulo buffer. New audio data in the form of pulse-code- +modulated samples (PCM) must be read from external and be fed to the input buffer depending on its +fill level. The required sample bitrate (represented by the data type INT_PCM which is 16, 24 or 32 +bits wide) is fixed and depends on library configuration (usually 16 bit). + +\dontinclude main.cpp +\skipline WAV_InputRead +\until ; +After the encoder's internal buffer is fed with incoming audio samples, and aacEncEncode() +processed the new input data, update/move remaining samples in input buffer, simulating a modulo buffer: +\skipline outargs.numInSamples>0 +\until } + +\section writeOutData Output Bitstream Data +If any AAC bitstream data is available, write it to output file or device. This can be done once the +following condition is true: +\dontinclude main.cpp +\skip Valid bitstream available +\skipline outargs + +\skipline outBytes>0 + +If you use file I/O then for example call mpegFileWrite_Write() from the library libMpegFileWrite + +\dontinclude main.cpp +\skipline mpegFileWrite_Write + +\section cfgMetaData Meta Data Configuration + +If the present library is configured with Metadata support, it is possible to insert meta data side info into the generated +audio bitstream while encoding. + +To work with meta data the encoder instance has to be \ref encOpen "allocated" with meta data support. The meta data mode must be be configured with +the ::AACENC_METADATA_MODE parameter and aacEncoder_SetParam() function. +\code aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_METADATA_MODE, 0-2); \endcode + +This configuration indicates how to embed meta data into bitstrem. Either no insertion, MPEG or ETSI style. +The meta data itself must be specified within the meta data setup structure AACENC_MetaData. + +Changing one of the AACENC_MetaData setup parameters can be achieved from outside the library within ::IN_METADATA_SETUP input +buffer. There is no need to supply meta data setup structure every frame. If there is no new meta setup data available, the +encoder uses the previous setup or the default configuration in initial state. + +In general the audio compressor and limiter within the encoder library can be configured with the ::AACENC_METADATA_DRC_PROFILE parameter +AACENC_MetaData::drc_profile and and AACENC_MetaData::comp_profile. +\n + +\section encReconf Encoder Reconfiguration + +The encoder library allows reconfiguration of the encoder instance with new settings +continuously between encoding frames. Each parameter to be changed must be set with +a single aacEncoder_SetParam() call. The internal status of each parameter can be +retrieved with an aacEncoder_GetParam() call.\n +There is no stand-alone reconfiguration function available. When parameters were +modified from outside the library, an internal control mechanism triggers the necessary +reconfiguration process which will be applied at the beginning of the following +aacEncEncode() call. This state can be observed from external via the AACENC_INIT_STATUS +and aacEncoder_GetParam() function. The reconfiguration process can also be applied +immediately when all parameters of an aacEncEncode() call are NULL with a valid encoder +handle.\n\n +The internal reconfiguration process can be controlled from extern with the following access. +\code aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_CONTROL_STATE, AACENC_CTRLFLAGS); \endcode + + +\section encParams Encoder Parametrization + +All parameteres listed in ::AACENC_PARAM can be modified within an encoder instance. + +\subsection encMandatory Mandatory Encoder Parameters +The following parameters must be specified when the encoder instance is initialized. +\code +aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_AOT, value); +aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_BITRATE, value); +aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_SAMPLERATE, value); +aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_CHANNELMODE, value); +\endcode +Beyond that is an internal auto mode which preinitizializes the ::AACENC_BITRATE parameter +if the parameter was not set from extern. The bitrate depends on the number of effective +channels and sampling rate and is determined as follows. +\code +AAC-LC (AOT_AAC_LC): 1.5 bits per sample +HE-AAC (AOT_SBR): 0.625 bits per sample +HE-AAC v2 (AOT_PS): 0.5 bits per sample +\endcode + +\subsection channelMode Channel Mode Configuration +The input audio data is described with the ::AACENC_CHANNELMODE parameter in the +aacEncoder_SetParam() call. It is not possible to use the encoder instance with a 'number of +input channels' argument. Instead, the channelMode must be set as follows. +\code aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_CHANNELMODE, value); \endcode +The parameter is specified in ::CHANNEL_MODE and can be mapped from the number of input channels +in the following way. +\dontinclude main.cpp +\skip CHANNEL_MODE chMode = MODE_INVALID; +\until return + +\subsection encQual Audio Quality Considerations +The default encoder configuration is suggested to be used. Encoder tools such as TNS and PNS +are activated by default and are internally controlled (see \ref BEHAVIOUR_TOOLS). + +There is an additional quality parameter called ::AACENC_AFTERBURNER. In the default +configuration this quality switch is deactivated because it would cause a workload +increase which might be significant. If workload is not an issue in the application +we recommended to activate this feature. +\code aacEncoder_SetParam(hAacEncoder, AACENC_AFTERBURNER, 1); \endcode + + +\section audiochCfg Audio Channel Configuration +The MPEG standard refers often to the so-called Channel Configuration. This Channel Configuration is used for a fixed Channel +Mapping. The configurations 1-7 are predefined in MPEG standard and used for implicit signalling within the encoded bitstream. +For user defined Configurations the Channel Configuration is set to 0 and the Channel Mapping must be explecitly described with an appropriate +Program Config Element. The present Encoder implementation does not allow the user to configure this Channel Configuration from +extern. The Encoder implementation supports fixed Channel Modes which are mapped to Channel Configuration as follow. +\verbatim +-------------------------------------------------------------------- + ChannelMode | ChCfg | front_El | side_El | back_El | lfe_El +-----------------+--------+----------+----------+----------+-------- +MODE_1 | 1 | SCE | | | +MODE_2 | 2 | CPE | | | +MODE_1_2 | 3 | SCE, CPE | | | +MODE_1_2_1 | 4 | SCE, CPE | | SCE | +MODE_1_2_2 | 5 | SCE, CPE | | CPE | +MODE_1_2_2_1 | 6 | SCE, CPE | | CPE | LFE +-------------------------------------------------------------------- + - SCE: Single Channel Element. + - CPE: Channel Pair. + - SCE: Low Frequency Element. +\endverbatim + +Moreover, the Table describes all fixed Channel Elements for each Channel Mode which are assigned to a speaker arrangement. The +arrangement includes front, side, back and lfe Audio Channel Elements.\n +This mapping of Audio Channel Elements is defined in MPEG standard for Channel Config 1-7. The Channel assignment for MODE_1_1, +MODE_2_2 and MODE_2_1 is used from the ARIB standard. All other configurations are defined as suggested in MPEG.\n +In case of Channel Config 0 or writing matrix mixdown coefficients, the encoder enables the writing of Program Config Element +itself as described in \ref encPCE. The configuration used in Program Config Element refers to the denoted Table.\n +Beside the Channel Element assignment the Channel Modes are resposible for audio input data channel mapping. The Channel Mapping +of the audio data depends on the selected ::AACENC_CHANNELORDER which can be MPEG or WAV like order.\n +Following Table describes the complete channel mapping for both Channel Order configurations. +\verbatim +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +ChannelMode | MPEG-Channelorder | WAV-Channelorder +-----------------+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- +MODE_1 | 0 | | | | | | | | 0 | | | | | | | +MODE_2 | 0 | 1 | | | | | | | 0 | 1 | | | | | | +MODE_1_2 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | | | | | 2 | 0 | 1 | | | | | +MODE_1_2_1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | | | | | 2 | 0 | 1 | 3 | | | | +MODE_1_2_2 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | | | | 2 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 4 | | | +MODE_1_2_2_1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | | | 2 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 3 | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +\endverbatim + +The denoted mapping is important for correct audio channel assignment when using MPEG or WAV ordering. The incoming audio +channels are distributed MPEG like starting at the front channels and ending at the back channels. The distribution is used as +described in Table concering Channel Config and fix channel elements. Please see the following example for clarification. + +\verbatim +Example: MODE_1_2_2_1 - WAV-Channelorder 5.1 +------------------------------------------ + Input Channel | Coder Channel +--------------------+--------------------- + 2 (front center) | 0 (SCE channel) + 0 (left center) | 1 (1st of 1st CPE) + 1 (right center) | 2 (2nd of 1st CPE) + 4 (left surround) | 3 (1st of 2nd CPE) + 5 (right surround) | 4 (2nd of 2nd CPE) + 3 (LFE) | 5 (LFE) +------------------------------------------ +\endverbatim + + +\section suppBitrates Supported Bitrates + +The FDK AAC Encoder provides a wide range of supported bitrates. +The minimum and maximum allowed bitrate depends on the Audio Object Type. For AAC-LC the minimum +bitrate is the bitrate that is required to write the most basic and minimal valid bitstream. +It consists of the bitstream format header information and other static/mandatory information +within the AAC payload. The maximum AAC framesize allowed by the MPEG-4 standard +determines the maximum allowed bitrate for AAC-LC. For HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 a library internal +look-up table is used. + +A good working point in terms of audio quality, sampling rate and bitrate, is at 1 to 1.5 +bits/audio sample for AAC-LC, 0.625 bits/audio sample for HE-AAC and 0.5 bits/audio sample +for HE-AAC v2. For example for one channel with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz, the range from +48 kbit/s to 72 kbit/s achieves reasonable audio quality for AAC-LC. + +For HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 the lowest possible audio input sampling frequency is 16 kHz because then the +AAC-LC core encoder operates in dual rate mode at its lowest possible sampling frequency, which is 8 kHz. +HE-AAC v2 requires stereo input audio data. + +The following table lists the supported bitrates for AAC-LC, HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 encoding depending +on input sampling frequency ("Hz") and number of input channels ("chan"). The minimum and maximum +allowed bitrate ("BR Min", "BR Max") is given in bits per second. +In case the desired combination of bitrate and sampling frequency is not available ("NA") for HE-AAC or +HE-AAC v2 then the encoder will automatically switch to AAC-LC and give a command line warning. +Please note that in HE-AAC or HE-AAC v2 mode the encoder supports much higher bitrates than are +appropriate for HE-AAC or HE-AAC v2. For example, at a bitrate of more than 64 kbit/s for a stereo +audio signal at 44.1 kHz it usually makes sense to use AAC-LC, which will produce better audio +quality at that bitrate than HE-AAC or HE-AAC v2. + + +\verbatim + Config AAC-LC HE-AAC (SBR) HE-AACv2 (SBR+PS) + + Hz chan BR Min BR Max BR Min BR Max BR Min BR Max + +8000 1 758 48000 NA NA NA NA +11025 1 1045 66150 NA NA NA NA +12000 1 1137 72000 NA NA NA NA +16000 1 1516 96000 8000 48000 NA NA +22050 1 2089 132300 8000 64000 NA NA +24000 1 2274 144000 8000 64000 NA NA +32000 1 3032 192000 8000 64000 NA NA +44100 1 4178 264576 8000 64000 NA NA +48000 1 4547 288000 12000 64000 NA NA +64000 1 6063 384000 24000 160000 NA NA +88200 1 8355 529200 24000 160000 NA NA +96000 1 9094 576000 24000 160000 NA NA +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +8000 2 1071 96000 NA NA NA NA +11025 2 1476 132300 NA NA NA NA +12000 2 1606 144000 NA NA NA NA +16000 2 2141 192000 16000 96000 8000 48000 +22050 2 2951 264600 16000 128000 8000 64000 +24000 2 3211 288000 16000 128000 8000 64000 +32000 2 4282 384000 16000 128000 8000 64000 +44100 2 5900 529152 16000 128000 8000 64000 +48000 2 6422 576000 16000 128000 12000 64000 +64000 2 8563 768000 32000 256000 24000 160000 +88200 2 11801 1058400 32000 256000 24000 160000 +96000 2 12844 1152000 32000 256000 24000 160000 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +8000 3 1383 144000 NA NA NA NA +11025 3 1906 198450 NA NA NA NA +12000 3 2075 216000 NA NA NA NA +16000 3 2766 288000 26667 120000 NA NA +22050 3 3812 396900 26667 160000 NA NA +24000 3 4149 432000 26667 160000 NA NA +32000 3 5532 576000 26667 160000 NA NA +44100 3 7623 793728 26667 160000 NA NA +48000 3 8297 864000 29996 160000 NA NA +64000 3 11063 1152000 59996 400000 NA NA +88200 3 15246 1587600 59996 400000 NA NA +96000 3 16594 1728000 59996 400000 NA NA +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +8000 4 1696 192000 NA NA NA NA +11025 4 2337 264600 NA NA NA NA +12000 4 2543 288000 NA NA NA NA +16000 4 3391 384000 40000 160000 NA NA +22050 4 4673 529200 40000 213330 NA NA +24000 4 5086 576000 40000 213330 NA NA +32000 4 6782 768000 40000 213330 NA NA +44100 4 9345 1058304 40000 213330 NA NA +48000 4 10172 1152000 40000 213330 NA NA +64000 4 13563 1536000 80000 533330 NA NA +88200 4 18691 2116800 80000 533330 NA NA +96000 4 20344 2304000 80000 533330 NA NA +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +8000 5 2008 240000 NA NA NA NA +11025 5 2768 330750 NA NA NA NA +12000 5 3012 360000 NA NA NA NA +16000 5 4016 480000 43244 184612 NA NA +22050 5 5535 661500 43244 246152 NA NA +24000 5 6024 720000 43244 246152 NA NA +32000 5 8032 960000 43244 246152 NA NA +44100 5 11068 1322880 43244 246152 NA NA +48000 5 12047 1440000 46140 246152 NA NA +64000 5 16063 1920000 92296 615384 NA NA +88200 5 22137 2646000 92296 615384 NA NA +96000 5 24094 2880000 92296 615384 NA NA +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +8000 5.1 2321 240000 NA NA NA NA +11025 5.1 3198 330750 NA NA NA NA +12000 5.1 3481 360000 NA NA NA NA +16000 5.1 4641 480000 45715 199990 NA NA +22050 5.1 6396 661500 45715 266658 NA NA +24000 5.1 6961 720000 45715 266658 NA NA +32000 5.1 9282 960000 45715 266658 NA NA +44100 5.1 12790 1322880 45715 266658 NA NA +48000 5.1 13922 1440000 49982 266658 NA NA +64000 5.1 18563 1920000 99982 666658 NA NA +88200 5.1 25582 2646000 99982 666658 NA NA +96000 5.1 27844 2880000 99982 666658 NA NA + +\endverbatim \n + +\section reommendedConfig Recommended Sampling Rate and Bitrate Combinations + +The following table provides an overview of recommended encoder configuration parameters +which we determined by virtue of numerous listening tests. + +\subsection reommendedConfigLC AAC-LC, HE-AAC, HE-AACv2. +\verbatim +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Audio Object Type | Bit Rate Range | Supported | Preferred | No. of + | [bit/s] | Sampling Rates | Sampl. | Chan. + | | [kHz] | Rate | + | | | [kHz] | +-------------------+------------------+-----------------------+------------+------- +AAC LC + SBR + PS | 8000 -

They can be changed in the table "bandWidthTable" in the +file bandwidth.cpp (if available), or via command-line argument "-w" (see chapter \ref CommandLineUsage). + +However it is not recommended to change these settings, because they are based on numerious listening +tests and careful tweaks to ensure the best overall encoding quality. + +Theoretically a signal of for example 48 kHz can contain frequencies up to 24 kHz, but to use this full range +in an audio encoder usually does not make sense. Usually the encoder has a very limited amount of +bits to spend (typically 128 kbit/s for stereo 48 kHz content) and to allow full range bandwidth would +waste a lot of these bits for frequencies the human ear is hardly able to perceive anyway, if at all. Hence it +is wise to use the available bits for the really important frequency range and just skip the rest. +At lower bitrates (e. g. <= 80 kbit/s for stereo 48 kHz content) the encoder will choose an even smaller +bandwidth, because an encoded signal with smaller bandwidth and hence less artifacts sounds better than a signal +with higher bandwidth but then more coding artefacts across all frequencies. These artefacts would occur if +small bitrates and high bandwidths are chosen because the available bits are just not enough to encode all +frequencies well. + +Unfortunately some people evaluate encoding quality based on possible bandwidth as well, but it is a two-sided +sword considering the trade-off described above. + +Another aspect is workload consumption. The higher the allowed bandwidth, the more frequency lines have to be +processed, which in turn increases the workload. + +\section FRAMESIZES_AND_BIT_RESERVOIR Frame Sizes & Bit Reservoir + +For AAC there is a difference between constant bit rate and constant frame +length due to the so-called bit reservoir technique, which allows the encoder to use less +bits in an AAC frame for those audio signal sections which are easy to encode, +and then spend them at a later point in +time for more complex audio sections. The extent to which this "bit exchange" +is done is limited to allow for reliable and relatively low delay real time +streaming. +Over a longer period in time the bitrate will be constant in the AAC constant +bitrate mode, e.g. for ISDN transmission. This means that in AAC each bitstream +frame will in general have a different length in bytes but over time it +will reach the target bitrate. One could also make an MPEG compliant +AAC encoder which always produces constant length packages for each AAC frame, +but the audio quality would be considerably worse since the bit reservoir +technique would have to be switched off completely. A higher bit rate would have +to be used to get the same audio quality as with an enabled bit reservoir. + +The maximum AAC frame length, regardless of the available bit reservoir, is defined +as 6144 bits per channel. + +For mp3 by the way, the same bit reservoir technique exists, but there each bit +stream frame has a constant length for a given bit rate (ignoring the +padding byte). In mp3 there is a so-called "back pointer" which tells +the decoder which bits belong to the current mp3 frame - and in general some or +many bits have been transmitted in an earlier mp3 frame. Basically this leads to +the same "bit exchange between mp3 frames" as in AAC but with virtually constant +length frames. + +This variable frame length at "constant bit rate" is not something special +in this Fraunhofer IIS AAC encoder. AAC has been designed in that way. + +\subsection BEHAVIOUR_ESTIM_AVG_FRAMESIZES Estimating Average Frame Sizes + +A HE-AAC v1 or v2 audio frame contains 2048 PCM samples per channel (there is +also one mode with 1920 samples per channel but this is only for special purposes +such as DAB+ digital radio). + +The number of HE-AAC frames \f$N\_FRAMES\f$ per second at 44.1 kHz is: + +\f[ +N\_FRAMES = 44100 / 2048 = 21.5332 +\f] + +At a bit rate of 8 kbps the average number of bits per frame \f$N\_BITS\_PER\_FRAME\f$ is: + +\f[ +N\_BITS\_PER\_FRAME = 8000 / 21.5332 = 371.52 +\f] + +which is about 46.44 bytes per encoded frame. + +At a bit rate of 32 kbps, which is quite high for single channel HE-AAC v1, it is: + +\f[ +N\_BITS\_PER\_FRAME = 32000 / 21.5332 = 1486 +\f] + +which is about 185.76 bytes per encoded frame. + +These bits/frame figures are average figures where each AAC frame generally has a different +size in bytes. To calculate the same for AAC-LC just use 1024 instead of 2048 PCM samples per +frame and channel. +For AAC-LD/ELD it is either 480 or 512 PCM samples per frame and channel. + + +\section BEHAVIOUR_TOOLS Encoder Tools + +The AAC encoder supports TNS, PNS, MS, Intensity and activates these tools depending on the audio signal and +the encoder configuration (i.e. bitrate or AOT). It is not required to configure these tools manually. + +PNS improves encoding quality only for certain bitrates. Therefore it makes sense to activate PNS only for +these bitrates and save the processing power required for PNS (about 10 % of the encoder) when using other +bitrates. This is done automatically inside the encoder library. PNS is disabled inside the encoder library if +an MPEG-2 AOT is choosen since PNS is an MPEG-4 AAC feature. + +If SBR is activated, the encoder automatically deactivates PNS internally.
