Part 3 of the MPEG-2 standard (formally known as ISO/IEC 13818-3, also known as MPEG-2 Audio or MPEG-2 BC) defines audio coding:
• MPEG Multichannel - It enhances MPEG-1's audio by allowing the coding of audio programs with more than two channels, up to 5.1 multichannel. This method is backwards-compatible (also known as MPEG-2 BCcite-ref-mpeg-audio-faq-bc-1-0[1]cite-ref-mpeg-bc-2-0[2]cite-ref-iso13818-7-2006-pdf-3-0[3]cite-ref-iso13818-7-2004-pdf-4-0[4]), allowing MPEG-1 audio decoders to decode the two main stereo components of the presentation.cite-ref-mpeg-2-layer-1-2-5-0[5]
• MPEG-2 Part 3 also defined additional bit rates and sample rates for MPEG-1 Audio Layer I, MPEG-1 Audio Layer II and MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (the first version of MP3).cite-ref-6[6]
The MPEG-2 Part 3 should not be confused with MPEG-2 Part 7: AAC a.k.a. MPEG-2 NBC (Non-Backward Compatible) - the MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding with support for multichannel encoding (up to 48 channels).cite-ref-mpeg-audio-faq-bc-1-1[1]cite-ref-mpeg-bc-2-1[2]
