DIFF Subgroup
G10L 19/18

Vocoders using multiple modes

Introduced: January 2013

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Speech or audio signal analysis-synthesis techniques for redundancy reduction, e.g. in vocoders; Coding or decoding of speech or audio signals, using source filter models or psychoacoustic analysis > using predictive techniques > Vocoder architecture > Vocoders using multiple modes

CPC:

Speech or audio signals analysis-synthesis techniques for redundancy reduction, e.g. in vocoders; Coding or decoding of speech or audio signals, using source filter models or psychoacoustic analysis (in musical instruments G10H) > using predictive techniques > Vocoder architecture > Vocoders using multiple modes

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 3 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 2013.
