- This step 60 makes it possible to determine a compensation filter for each element 3 n of the reproduction assembly 2 as a function of its specific acoustic characteristics.
- the filters can be implemented in different forms of filters and / or filtering methods.
- the used filters are parameterized directly with frequency responses, the responses H not I f are directly applied.
- the step 60 of determining compensation filters comprises a conversion sub-step in order to determine the parameters of the filters for other filtering methods.
- step 60 the parameters of the compensation filters H not I f are provided.
- step 70 of determining driving signals We will now describe in more detail step 70 of determining driving signals.
- This step 70 comprises a sub-step 80 for applying the adaptation filters represented by the matrix A to the multichannel input signal SI corresponding to the acoustic field to be restored.
- the adaptation filters A n , q ( f ) integrate the characteristic parameters of the reproduction set 2.
- the adaptation is continued by an adjustment of the gains and the application of delays in order to align the wave fronts of the elements 3 1 to 3 N of the reproduction assembly 2 temporally with respect to the element furthest away.
- the substep 80 ends with a gain adjustment and the application of delays in order to temporally align the wave fronts of the elements 3 1 to 3 N of the restitution assembly 2 with respect to the element furthest away.
- step 70 comprises a sub-step 90 for compensating for the acoustic characteristics of the reproduction assembly.
- compensation filters H not I f acoustic characteristics is described with reference to the figure 9 .
- the method of the invention does not compensate for the specific acoustic characteristics of the elements of the rendering assembly.
- step 60 as well as substep 90 are not performed and the appropriate signals sa 1 ( t ) to its N ( t ) correspond directly to the control signals sc 1 to sc N.
- each element 3 1 to 3 N therefore receives a specific driving signal sc 1 to sc N and emits an acoustic field which contributes to the optimal reconstruction of the acoustic field to be restored.
- the simultaneous control of the set of elements 3 1 to 3 N allows an optimal reconstruction of the acoustic field corresponding to the multichannel input signal by the restitution set 2 whose spatial configuration is arbitrary, or else does not correspond to to a fixed configuration.
- the parameters N l , m , n ( f ) and RM ( f ) occur in the sub-step 53 of determining the radiation matrix M
- the parameters W (r, f), W l (f) R (f) are involved in the substep 52 of determining the matrix W
- the parameters ⁇ (l k, m k ) ⁇ ( f ) intervene in an additional substep in the determination of a matrix F.
- the decoding matrix D is then determined during the sub-step 54, for each frequency f , as a function of the matrices M , W and F and the parameters G n ( f ) and ⁇ ( f ).
- the calculation of the matrix D can be done frequency by frequency by considering only the active elements for each frequency considered.
- This method of determining the matrix D uses the parameter G n ( f ) and makes it possible to make the most of a restitution set whose elements have different operating frequency bands.
- FIG. 10 there is shown a diagram of an embodiment of an apparatus implementing the method as described above.
- This apparatus comprises the adapter 1 which is formed of a unit 110 delivering a multichannel signal such as an audio-video disk reading unit called DVD player 112.
- the multichannel signal delivered by the unit 110 is intended for the elements of 2.
- the format of this signal SI is automatically recognized by the adapter 1 which is adapted to match parameters describing the predetermined general direction associated with each channel of the signal SI.
- this adapter 1 also integrates an additional calculation unit 114 as well as information acquisition means 116.
- the input means 116 are formed of an infrared interface with a remote control or with a computer and allow a user to determine the parameters defining the positions in the space of the restitution elements 3 1 to 3 N.
- the computer 114 applies the adaptive filters multichannel signal SI to output the control signals sc sc 1 to N to the reproduction unit 2.
- the device embodying the invention can take other forms, such as software implemented on a computer or a complete device incorporating calibration means and means for capturing and determining characteristics. of the restitution set more complete.
- the method can also be implemented in the form of a device dedicated to the optimization of multichannel rendering systems, outside an audio-video decoder and associated therewith.
- the device is adapted to receive a multichannel signal as input and to output control signals of elements of a reproduction set.
- the device is adapted to be connected to the acquisition device 100 necessary for the calibration step and / or is provided with an interface for entering parameters, in particular the position of the elements of the reproduction set and possibly the multichannel input format.
- Such an acquisition device 100 can be connected wired or wireless (radio, infra-red) and can be integrated with an accessory, such as a remote control, or be independent.
- the method may be implemented by a device integrated into an element of an audio-video system responsible for the processing of multichannel signals, for example a "surround" processor or decoder, an audio-video amplifier integrating decoding functions. multichannel or a fully integrated audio-video system.
