Abstract
A network device and its mode of operation. The network device includes an input port through which audio streams may be received. A controller receives a user input indicating which type of mix the user wants applied to the audio stream and applies the mixing factor designated. The mixing factor may be a stereo mix, a panned mix, or a mono mix. The network device also includes an output port through which the mixed audio stream can be transmitted to the user.
Claims26
A network device, comprising:
- an input port to receive incoming audio streams;
- a controller to:
- receive a user input;
- and
- apply a head-related transfer function mixing, a mono mixing and a panned mixing to the incoming audio streams;
- using the user input to select between the head-related transfer function mixing, the mono mixing and the panned mixing to produce an output audio stream;
- and
- an output port operable to transmit the output audio stream.
A method of providing audio streams to a user, the method comprising:
- receiving an incoming audio stream;
- applying a head-related transfer function mixing, a mono-mixing and a panned mixing to the incoming audio stream;
- using a user input to select between the head-related transfer function mixing, the mono-mixing and the panned mixing, to produce an output audio stream;
- and
- transmitting the output audio stream to the user.
A network device, comprising:
- a means for receiving incoming audio streams;
- a means for receiving a user input;
- a means for applying a head-related transfer function mixing, a mono mixing, and a panned mixing to the incoming audio streams;
- a means for selecting between the head-related transfer function mixing, the mono mixing and the panned mixing to produce and output audio stream;
- and
- a means for transmitting the output audio stream.
An article containing machine readable code that, when executed, causes the machine to:
- receive an incoming audio stream;
- apply a head-related transfer function mixing, a mono-mixing and a panned mixing to the incoming audio stream;
- using a user input to select between the head-related transfer function mixing, the mono-mixing and the panned mixing, to produce an output audio stream;
- and
- transmit the output audio stream to the user.
