Opus is a totally open, royalty-free, highly versatile audio codec.
|
||
|
|
It is standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
|
||
|
|
as RFC 6716 which incorporated technology from Skype's SILK codec
|
||
|
|
and Xiph.Org's CELT codec.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Opus is designed to handle a wide range of interactive audio
|
||
|
|
applications, including Voice over IP, videoconferencing, in-game
|
||
|
|
chat, and even live, distributed music performances. It scales from
|
||
|
|
low bitrate narrowband speech at 6 kbit/s to very high quality
|
||
|
|
stereo music at 510 kbit/s. Opus uses both Linear Prediction (LP)
|
||
|
|
and the Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (MDCT) to achieve good
|
||
|
|
compression of both speech and music.
