Process for developing an MPEG Reference Encoder for use in Core Experiments It is envisioned that this process can result in another Reference Quality encoder for use in the CE process. The Audio Subgroup shall maintain a workplan whose elements are to
Define an encoder Block Diagram (e.g. from a figure in the WD text)
Define APIs for each block in that diagram
Designate companies that commit to create source or object code conforming to these APIs. Note that initially, the MPEG Reference Encoder code base is the code base provided by the RM proponent.
Define a process to check and debug the entire encoder
Additional contributions beyond what is specifically designated in the workplan, and which progress the work, are welcome.
