Hi,

Requirement 11 describes some of the aspects required for local media rendering.

I and some of my colleagues at Ericsson feel that it is important to also support central audio rendering for simple endpoints with limited bandwidths and processing power. This central audio mixing should be limited to standard loudspeaker configurations such as mono, stereo, and binaural, but could also be extended to some other standard configurations such as LCR and 5.0 surround configurations.

We would, therefore, like to add a requirement for central audio rendering. Something in line with:

   REQMT-15:  The solution MUST support a model and information exchange
              between an endpoint and the MCU that will enable the endpoint to

              *    request a central rendering of its audio signals for a set
                   of standard loudspeaker configurations
              *    obtain the rendered audio signals from the MCU

Kind regards,

Erlendur Karlsson
