FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61937-3 has been prepared by technical area 4: Digital system
interfaces, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems and
equipment.
This second edition of IEC 61937-3 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003.
This edition contains the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
a) The definition of the audio data-burst required to deliver enhanced AC-3 bitstreams has
been added.
b) The definition of the latency of an enhanced AC-3 decoder has been added.
c) The use of pause data-bursts when delivering enhanced AC-3 bitstreams has been added.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms, definitions and abbreviations apply.
3.1 Terms and definitions
3.1.1
latency
delay time of an external audio decoder to decode an AC-3 or enhanced AC-3 data burst,
defined as the sum of two values of the receiving delay time and the decoding delay time.
3.1.2
stream type
an enhanced AC-3 bitstream is constructed from one or more substreams, with each
substream being constructed from a sequence of frames. The stream type parameter of an
enhanced AC-3 frame identifies the type of substream of which the frame is a part

– 6 – 61937-3 © IEC:2007(E)
3.1.3
substream identification
substream identification parameter of an enhanced AC-3 frame which, in conjunction with the
stream type parameter, identifies the substream in the bitstream of which the enhanced AC-3
frame is a part
3.1.4
converter synchronization flag
flag used for synchronization by a device that converts an enhanced AC-3 bitstream to a
bitstream compliant with an AC-3 decoder and indicates that the first block in this enhanced
AC-3 frame will form the first block of the AC-3 frame output by the conversion process
3.1.5
block identification flag
if the stream type value of an enhanced AC-3 substream is two, indicating that the bitstream
has been converted from an AC-3 bitstream, this bit is set to 1 to indicate that the first block in
this enhanced AC-3 frame was the first block in the original standard AC-3 frame
