Bandwidth in 1ISM at 16.4 kbps
This is a follow-up of #556 (closed).
The audio bandwidth in IVAS ISM coding is lower than that in EVS at low bitrates. E.g. for 3ISM there are:
bitrate | EVS | IVAS |
---|---|---|
48 kbps | FB | SWB (cut-off 14.4 kHz) |
64 kbps | FB | SWB (cut-off 16 kHz) |
When changing the source code and enabling FB coding from 16 kbps per object, i.e. changing macro MIN_BRATE_FB_ISM
from 24000 to 16000, the bandwidth of IVAS would match that of EVS. The change of the mentioned macro would affect these operating points:
- 1ISM at 16.4 kbps
- 2ISM at 32 kbps
- 3ISM at 48 kbps and 64 kbps
- 4ISM at 64 kbps and 80 kbps
It is a question whether IVAS should match the EVS audio bandwidth at low bitrates or if it is preferred to keep the status quo.
An experimental change is available in MR !788 (merged) under ISM_FB_16k4
