hanie Bertet et al. More interestingly for us, of course, was that you can get 3rd order localization from 1st order material with the harpex decoder. But no decoder can make meaningful 3D material from a horizontal source. So if I had to choose between 3rd order horizontal and 1st order 3D, I would c

Hello all, Since I've been named I guess a quick comment might be in order. Of course, Dave is correct about the potential for artifacts of bss algorithms and that means that a single first-order b-format stream is sufficient for all uses, even with upsampling and whatnot. More channels are req
