Description

The Opus codec is a lossy audio coding format developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that is particularly suitable for interactive real-time applications over the Internet.

Opus incorporates technology from two other audio coding formats: the speech-oriented SILK and the low-latency Constrained Energy Lapped Transform (CELT) codec. Opus can be adjusted seamlessly between high and low , and internally, it transitions between linear predictive coding at lower bitrates and transform coding at higher bitrates (as well as a hybrid for a short overlap). Opus has a very low algorithmic delay (22.5 ms by default), which is a necessity for use as part of a low audio latency communication link, which permits natural conversation.
