AC3
===
Specification taken from a_52a.pdf
I *think* that looking at the start of `syncinfo` should give me all the
information I need to (a) determine if this is AC3 and (b) determine if it is
"main" audio.
::
syncframe: -- synchronization frame
syncinfo: -- synchronization info
16: syncword -- 0x0B77
16: crc1
2: fscod -- [1]
6: frmsizecod
bsi: -- bit stream info
5: bsid -- 8 in *this* version of the standard [2]
3: bsmod -- [3]
3: acmod -- which main service channels are in use [4]
2: cmixlev -- center mix level (if 3 front channels)
2: surmixlev -- surround mix level (if surround sound channel)
2: dsurmod -- dolby surround mode (if in 2/0 mode) 2=surround
1: lfeon
5: dialnorm
1: compre
<etc>
for n in range(6):
audblk: -- coded audio block
(256 new audio samples per channel)
auxdata:
errorcheck: -- CRC for whole syncframe
1: crcsv
16: crc2
[1] fscod: sampling rate in kHz:
00 = 48
01 = 44.1
10 = 32
11 = reserved
[2] bsid: values less than 8 are for subsets of the standard. If the software
can decode data with bsid=8, it can also decode data with bsid<8.
[3] bit stream mode:
(the "full" column gives the full service flag for use in DVB's
AC-3_descriptor:AC-3_type [5])
bsmod acmod type of service full?
000 any main audio service: complete main (CM) 1
001 any main audio service: music & effects (ME) 0
010 any associated service: visually impaired (VI) X
011 any associated service: hearing impaired (HI) X
100 any associated service: dialogue (D) 0
101 any associated service: commentary (C) X
110 any associated service: emergency (E) 1
111 001 associated service: voice over (VO) 0
111 010-111 main audio service: karaoke 1
[4] audio coding mode:
bit meaning
0 center channel in use
1 <too complex to summarise here>
2 surround sound channels in use
audio full
coding bandwidth
acmod mode chans order
0 1+1 2 Ch1,Ch2 ("dual mono")
1 1/0 1 C
2 2/0 2 L,R
3 3/0 3 L,C,R
4 2/1 3 L,R,S
5 3/1 4 L,C,R,S
6 2/2 4 L,R,SL,SR
7 3/2 5 L,C,R,SL,SR
AC3 in TS
=========
AC sync frame contains 1536 audio samples. Its duration is::
48kHz -> 32ms
44.1kHz -> approx 34.83ms
32 kHz -> 48ms
For ATSC::
stream_type 0x81
stream_id 0xBD (private_stream_1) in PES header
registration_descriptor: (in PMT)
8: descriptor_tag -- 0x05
8: descriptor_length -- 0x04
32: format_identifier -- 0x41432D33 ("AC-3")
audio_stream_descriptor: (in PSI)
8: descriptor_tag -- 0x81
8: descriptor_length -- <number of bytes after this field>
3: sample_rate_code
5: bsid -- same as bsid above [2]
6: bit_rate_code
2: surround_mode
3: bsmod -- same as bsmod above [3]
4: num_channels
1: full_svc
---------------- further optional fields, depending on the above
ISO_639_language_code descriptor allows a stream to be tagged with
the 24-bit ISO 639 language code.
For DVB::
stream_type 0x06 (private_data)
stream_id 0xBD (private_stream_1) in PES header
AC-3_descriptor: (in PSI and PMT)
8: descriptor_tag -- 0x6A
8: descriptor_length -- <number of bytes after this field>
1: AC-3_type_flag
1: bsid_flag
1: mainid_flag
1: asvc_flag
4: <reserved bits, set to 0>
---------------- further fields present if their flag is set
8: AC-3_type -- [5]
8: bsid -- same as bsid above [2]
8: mainid -- 0-7 main audio service id
8: asvc -- associate service with main service
---------------- further info to the number of bytes indicated
n*8: additional info
[5] I *think* this is interpreted as follows:
Bits Meaning
0-2 0: mono
1: 1+1
2: 2 channel (stereo)
3: 2 channel Dolby surround encoded (stereo)
4: Multichannel audio (>2 channels)
Other values reserved
3-5 same as [3], bit stream mode
6 0: Use channel in combination with another
1: Full service channel, use alone
7 Must be 0
