Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule I-Open Media Alliance, i-Google, i-Samsung ne-Arm, kumenyezelwe isimemezelo sephrojekthi entsha abayiqalile, okuyifomethi entsha yomsindo ebizwa ngokuthi «"Eclipse."
Este ifomethi entsha yomsindo, iklanyelwe ukuletha umuzwa ozungezayo wekhwalithi ephezulu, isekelwe esimisweni se-IAMF (I-Immersive Audio Metadata Nefomethi), ethuthukiswe i-Open Media Alliance, futhi inokuqaliswa kwereferensi yomthombo ovulekile.
Ubuchwepheshe bomsindo wendawo bathuthukiswa okokuqala eminyakeni engu-50 edlule, futhi ukudlalwa sekukhona kubathengi isikhathi esingaphezu kweshumi leminyaka, kodwa ukudalwa komsindo wendawo kukhawulelwe ochwepheshe befilimu noma izimboni zomculo. Kungakho i-Google ne-Samsung bethula i-Eclipsa Audio, ifomethi yomsindo wendawo evulekile yawo wonke umuntu.
Mayelana nomsebenzi, kuthiwa i-Eclipsa yakhelwe ukusabalalisa okuqukethwe komsindo wendawo, ukudala umuzwa ojulile elingisa ubukhona bangempela endaweni enezinhlangothi ezintathu. Lokhu kufinyelelwa ngama-algorithms athuthukile adala kabusha ukuziphatha kwemvelo kwamagagasi omsindo, ahambisana nemethadatha evumela ukwakhiwa kabusha kwezimo zomsindo noma ukwenza imiksi eyinkimbinkimbi. Ifomethi ihloselwe kokubili ukudluliselwa bukhoma kanye nokudlalwa kabusha kwamafayela alalelwayo agciniwe, ukuhambisana nezethulo ezisekelwe eziteshini noma ezigabeni zomsindo, nokuvumela ukubuka okuhlukene ukuba kuhlanganiswe.
Ukusakazwa komsindo kwe-Eclipsa kungaphatha iziteshi zokufaka ezifika kwezingu-28, okuhlanganisa yomibili imithombo engaguquki, njengombhobho ophambi kwe-orchestra, nemithombo eguquguqukayo, njengomsindo wendiza enophephela emhlane ehambayo. Le fomethi ayikhawulelwe kukhodekhi ethile, nakuba ukucaciswa kuphakamisa ukusebenzisa i-Opus noma i-AAC (mp4a) ekubhaleni ngekhodi okulahlekile, kuyilapho i-Flac noma i-LPCM kuyizinketho ezinconyiwe zombhalo wekhodi ongalahleki.
I-Eclipsa Audio iyifomethi yomsindo ozungezile eneziteshi eziningi esebenzisa i-IAMF ukuze ikhiqize umuzwa wokulalela ogxilile. Izoguqula indlela esizwa ngayo umsindo ngokusabalalisa umsindo uqonde ngokuqondile nangokuvundlile. Lokhu kudala i-soundscape enezinhlangothi ezintathu ezilingisa eduze izindawo zemvelo futhi ilethe amamuvi, izinhlelo ze-TV nomculo ekuphileni.
I-Eclipsa yakhelwe ukuzivumelanisa nezisetshenziswa ezahlukene, kusukela kumathelevishini namabha womsindo kuya kuma-smartphone, ama-headphones namasistimu etiyetha yasekhaya. Lokhu ihlanganisa ikhono lokuguqula umsindo ozungezayo ube amafomethi afanelekile kuhlobo ngalunye lwedivayisi, ukwandisa amathuba okusetshenziswa nokuqinisekisa ukulalela okungaguquki, kwekhwalithi ephezulu kunoma iyiphi indawo.
Ukusetshenziswa kwama-codec ajwayelekile kufomethi ye-Eclipsa kusiza ukuhlanganiswa kwayo nezinhlelo ezikhona zokusakaza bukhoma nezokudlala, kanye nokuvumela ukudalwa kokuqukethwe komsindo wendawo kusetshenziswa ama-plugin e-VST avulekile njenge-EAR Production Suite. Le softhiwe ikuvumela ukuthi udizayine izimo zendawo zezikhulumi futhi wenze ukuqapha okubili, indlela ekhomba isiqondiso semithombo yomsindo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, Izilungiselelo zokuhlanganisa eziningi zingasethwa, okuvumela ukulungiswa kwevolumu okuthile kumamodi okudlala ahlukene. Ukuze udale kabusha umsindo ozungezile kuma-headphone noma ulungise ukudlalwa ngokusekelwe ekuhlelweni kwesikhala kwezipikha, kusetshenziswa ama-algorithms okucubungula isignali afana ne-EAR ne-BEAR.
Mayelana nokuqaliswa, kubalulwe ukuthi Samsung kuzoba umkhiqizi wokuqala ukusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe ngokugcwele, buhlanganise lonke uhla lwayo lwe-TV ye-2025 Lokhu kuhlanganisa yonke into kusukela kumamodeli ochungechunge lwe-Crystal UHD kuya kumadivayisi aphambili we-Neo QLED 8K. Ngokwehlukana, i-Google izokwenza kube lula ukulayisha amavidiyo anamathrekhi alalelwayo ngefomethi ye-Eclipsa ku-YouTube futhi isimemezele izinhlelo zokwenza lula ukudalwa kwalawa mafayela ngokwethula i-plugin ehambisana nendawo yokusebenza, ehlelelwe i-AVID Pro Tools Digital Audio Workstation.
Ukwengeza, i-Google ihlela ukufaka ukudlalwa komsindo kwe-Eclipsa esipheqululini sayo se-Chrome, kanye nama-TV namabha avela kubakhiqizi abaningana phakathi no-2025. Lokhu kusekelwa kuzonwetshwa futhi ezinguqulweni zesikhathi esizayo ze-Android AOSP, kuqinise ngokwengeziwe ukuhlanganisa ifomethi kumapulatifomu amaningi namadivayisi.
Okokugcina, kufanele kuphawulwe ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwe-Eclipsa akudingi ukukhokhwa kwemali futhi uma unentshisekelo yokufunda okwengeziwe ngayo, ungabheka imininingwane. Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.
