Digital audio interface - Part 3: Consumer applications

Specifies the consumer application of the interface for the interconnection of digital audio equipment defined in EN 60958-1.

Digitalton-Schnittstelle - Teil 3: Allgemeingebrauch

Interface audionumérique - Partie 3: Applications grand public

L'IEC 60958-3:2006 spécifie une application grand public de l'interface pour l'interconnexion des appareils audionumériques définie dans la CEI 60958-1. Cette troisième édition de la CEI 60958-3 annule et remplace la deuxième édition publiée en 2003 dont elle constitue une révision technique. Elle comporte les modifications suivantes: - Les exigences électriques et optiques ont été supprimées de la CEI 60958-3; - il convient de les spécifier dans la CEI 60958-1. La troisième édition de la CEI 60958-1 comportera ces exigences. La présente version bilingue (2014-07) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2006-05.
