ISO/IEC 14496-3: 2005 Information technology - Coding of audio-visual objects - Part 3: Audio

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Third edition. 2005-12-01. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 14496-3:2001). 1172p. ISO/IEC 14496-3 (MPEG-4 Audio) is a new kind of audio International Standard that integrates many different types of audio coding: natural sound with synthetic sound, low bitrate delivery with high-quality delivery, speech with music, complex soundtracks with simple ones, and traditional content with interactive and virtual-reality content. By standardizing individually sophisticated coding tools as well as a novel, flexible framework for audio synchronization, mixing, and downloaded post-production, the developers of the MPEG-4 Audio standard have created new technology for a new, interactive world of digital audio.
