mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de la CEI dans leurs publications
nationales et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de la CEI et toutes publications
nationales ou régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) La CEI n’a prévu aucune procédure de marquage valant indication d’approbation et n'engage pas sa

4.1 General
This part of 61603 defines an application using digital audio signals based on the digital audio
interface, IEC 60958, for professional and consumer applications. This includes an ability to
transmit non-linear PCM data formatted according to IEC 61937.
The digital audio bitstream transmission systems that are the subject of this document are
characterized by the following features:
– used for interface with infrared radiation,
– harmonized with IEC 60958;
– harmonized with IEC 61937;
– used for multi-channel transmission in future;
– signal block structure;
– error correction;
– frequency range: 3 MHz to 6 MHz;
– channel coding;
– low spurious (band-pass filter).
This standard gives the detailed specifications of the digital audio signal transmission.
Infrared digital audio signal transmission is used in a frequency range of 3 MHz to 6 MHz as
specified in IEC 61603-2. It shares this range with analogue audio applications, so that care
should be taken to avoid interference with any such applications being used simultaneously.

This system supports a full-band mode that carries all the data on the IEC 60958 interface at
sample rates of 48 kHz and below. It also supports a half-band mode carrying two streams
each of two 16-bit audio channels without the capacity for all the associated validity data, user
data, or channel status data defined in IEC 60958. Some of those data are carried elsewhere
in the system.
Depending on the applicable bit rate, two different channel bandwidths are possible. One is
called the full-band mode, which carries 2 channels, 32-slot bit stream with the bandwidth of
3 MHz wide, the other is called the half-band mode, which carries 2 channels, 16-slot bit
stream with the bandwidth of 1,5 MHz wide.
Both the full-band mode and half-band mode are based on IEC 60958-1, IEC 60958-3,
IEC 60958-4 and IEC 61937.
