Summary¶
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a standard for transmitting digital audio signals over relatively short distances between devices. It was developed by Sony and Philips and is used to carry high-quality digital audio without the need for analog conversion, maintaining the integrity of the audio signal.
S/PDIF can carry two channels of uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio or over Optical (TOSLINK) or Coaxial transmission mediums.
lib_spdif provides software defined S/PDIF implementation that allows transmission and reception
of S/PDIF data via xcore ports.
Features¶
Supports stereo S/PDIF receive for sample rates up to 192KHz
Supports stereo S/PDIF transmit for sample rates up to 192KHz
Fully compliant to the IEC60958 specification. Supports professional (i.e. AES3) and consumer variants
Supports audio sample word lengths of 16, 20 or 24 bits
Known issues¶
Transmitter has no way of setting user or validity bits (#55)
