-‘TOSLINK’ is a ‘standardized optical fiber connector system’-
.
(its most common use is in consumer audio equipment (via a “digital optical” socket), where it carries a ‘digital audio stream’ from components such as ‘CD’ and ‘DVD’ players, ‘DAT recorders’, ‘computers’, and modern ‘video game consoles’, to an ‘AV receiver’ that can decode 2 channels of ‘uncompressed lossless PCM audio’ or ‘compressed 5.1/7.1 surround sound’ such as ‘dolby digital plus’ or ‘DTS-HD high resolution audio’)
(unlike ‘HDMI’, ‘TOSLINK’ does not have the bandwidth to carry the lossless versions of ‘Dolby TrueHD’, ‘DTS-HD Master Audio’, or more than 2 channels of PCM audio)
(although TOSLINK supports several different ‘media formats’ + ‘physical standards’, ‘digital audio connections’ using the rectangular EIAJ/JEITA RC-5720 (also CP-1201 / JIS C5974-1993 F05) connector are by far the most common)
(the optical signal is a ‘red’ light with a peak wavelength of ‘650 nm’)
(depending on the type of ‘modulated signal’ being carried, other ‘optical wavelengths’ may be present)
.
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface)[1][2] is a type of digital audio interconnect used in consumer audio equipment to output audio over reasonably short distances.
The signal is transmitted over either a coaxial cable with RCA connectors or a fiber optic cable with TOSLINK connectors.
S/PDIF interconnects components in home theaters and other digital high-fidelity systems.
S/PDIF is based on the AES3 interconnect standard.[3] S/PDIF can carry two channels of uncompressed PCM audio or compressed 5.1/7.1 surround sound (such as DTS audio codec); it cannot support lossless surround formats that require greater bandwidth
S/PDIF is a data link layer protocol as well as a set of physical layer specifications for carrying digital audio signals between devices and components over either optical or electrical cable.
The name stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format but is also known as Sony/Philips Digital Interface.
Sony and Philips were the primary designers of S/PDIF.
(‘S/PDIF’ is standardized in IEC 60958 as IEC 60958 type II (IEC 958 before 1998)
.
(a less common format is a ‘co-axial cable’ ending in ‘RCA jacks’, which is found on some ‘receivers’)
