1、This part of IEC 60958 describes a serial, uni-directional, self-clocking interface for theinterconnection of digital audio equipment for consumer and professional applications.It provides the basic structure of the interface. Separate documents define items specific toparticular applications.The in
2、terface is primarily intended to carry monophonic or stereophonic programmes,encoded using linear PCM and with a resolution of up to 24 bits per sample.When used for other purposes, the interface is able to carry audio data coded other than aslinear PCM coded audio samples. Provision is also made to
3、 allow the interface to carry datarelated to computer software or signals coded using non-linear PCM. The format specificationfor these applications is not part of this standard.The interface is intended for operation at audio sampling frequencies of 32kHz and above.Auxiliary information is transmitted along with the programme.
