Opus Internet media type audio/opus[1]
Developed by Jean-Marc Valin, Koen Vos Type of format Audio Contained by Ogg Extended from SILK, CELT Standard(s) No, Internet Draft Open format? Yes Website opus-codec.org Opus (originally Harmony[2], also referred to internally as ietfcodec) is a low-delay wideband codec intended for applications such as VoIP that will eventually be royalty-free.[3] Opus incorporates technology from the speech-oriented SILK codec and the low-latency CELT codec. Development for the codec is coordinated by the IETF.
Opus has been shown to have excellent quality,[4] and at higher bit rates, it turns out to be competitive with codecs with much higher delay, such as HE-AAC and Vorbis.[5]
