'Sony/Philips Digital Interface' is a standard digital audio transfer format. It is used to transfer two channels of audio from one piece of equipment to another, while remaining in a digital form.

Stands for : SONY PHILIPS DIGITAL INTERFACE....The two companies jointly developed a standard for the transfer of digital data from one device to another....

Standardized method of transmitting digital audio from one component to another.

The Sony/Philips digital interface, employed as a 75 Ohm RCA-type digital output on transports or CD/DVD players.

Sony/Phillips (as in the company) Digital InterFace. It was created by Sony/Phillips to be a standard in digital audio data transfer.

Sony/Philips Digital Interchange Format: an interface standard that lets users connect sound equipment (such as sound boards and speakers) via a pure digital signal.

Stands for Sony/Phillips Digital Interface. A data protocol developed by Sony and Phillips for sending and receiving digital audio signals using a standard RCA connector.

Abbreviation for "Sony/Philips Digital InterFace"] A consumer-grade digital stereo transmission format. Soundcards equipped with S/PDIF co-axial jacks allow you to turn your PC into a digital recording studio.

Stands for Sony/Philips Digital Audio Interface. The specification is formally called IEC60958, but is more generally known as S/P DIF. This is a consumer format for transferring digital audio signals, and simultaneously transmits or receives two channels (one stereo pair) of audio.

For "Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format," a standard for the sending and receiving of digital audio data; typically uses phono connectors.

Short for ony hilips igital nter ace, a standard audio file transfer format. Developed jointly by the Sony and Phillips corporations, S/PDIF allows the transfer of digital audio signals from one device to another without having to be converted first to an analog. format. Maintaining the viability of a digital signal prevents the quality of the signal from degrading when it is converted to analog.

(Sony/Philips digital interface format, also seen w/o slash as SPDIF) A consumer version of the AES/EBU digital audio interconnection standard based on an optical fibre system called TOSLINK (q.v.) or 75? coaxial cable and phono connectors. (Not the same as SDIF - which is a previous Sony digital interface standard)

Sony/Philips Digital Interface. A format for sending digital audio information. S/PDIF connections use optical cables or PHONO CONNECTORS.

The Sony/Philips Digital Interface, used for transmitting digital sound signals between equipment.

Sony/Philips Digital Interface, a digital connection used in receivers and other digital audio/video products. May be optical or coaxial.

Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format. It's the most common standard for passing digital audio. Connections are either electrical or optical, with either coaxial or toslink connectors, usually.

Standard format for digital audio output. It outputs audio signals directly as digital audio signals without changing into analog signals because conversion into analog signals can degrade signal quality.

A consumer variant of the AES/EBU digital audio transmission standard. Most DVD players include s/pdif coaxial digital audio connectors providing PCM and encoded digital audio output.

Sony/Philips Digital Interface - Allows the transfer of digital audio signal without converting to analog.

Sony/Phillips Digital InterFace. An interface (input/output) that allows you to connect two digital audio devices using an RCA connector (Coaxial) or a TOSLINK (Optical).

Sony/Philips Digital Interface. A digital audio standard. Soundcards with S/PDIF jacks let you use your computer as a mini recording studio. (4/99)

A standard format used for transferring data between two digital audio devices over (more commonly) a standard RCA cable or (less commonly) an optical cable.

This format transfer signal using a digital interface instead of the traditional analog interface.

acronym for Sony/Philips Digital Interface, a "consumer" digital interface using either fiber-optic or coaxial (RCA) connections that allow the transfer of digital audio data from one device to another.

Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format. A set of standards for sending and receiving digital audio signals, including the connectors used by the input and output digital audio devices.

Sony/Philips standard for a digital connection for CD players, and more using either RCA (phono) or superior Canare connectors. - Category: Computer (recording)

Sony/Philips Digital Interface. The standard for transmitting digital signals (like Dolby Digital) on consumer-grade systems.

(Also SPDIF) Sony/Philips Digital Interface, a standard audio file transfer format. Developed jointly by Sony and Philips, S/PDIF allows the transfer of digital audio signals from one device to another without having to be converted first to an analogue. This prevents the quality of the digital signal degrading during transfer to analogue.

S/PDIF is a collection of hardware and low-level protocol specifications for carrying digital audio signals between devices and stereo components. The name stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format, the two companies being the primary designers of the S/PDIF format. It is more recently part of a larger collection of standards IEC-60958 (often referred to as AES/EBU), where it is known as IEC-958 type II.
