Synopsis

A digital interface is the technology that allows interconnectivity between multiple pieces of equipment. In other words hardware devices can communicate with each other and accept audio and video material in a variety of forms.

The Digital Interface Handbook is a thoroughly detailed manual for those who need to get to grips with digital audio and video systems. Francis Rumsey and John Watkinson bring together their combined experience to shed light on the differences between audio interfaces and show how to make devices 'talk to each' in the digital domain despite their subtle differences. They also include detailed coverage of all the regularly used digital video interfaces.

New information included in this third edition: dedicated audio interfaces, audio over computer network interfaces and revised material on practical audio interfacing and synchronisation.

* Pulls together the latest standards in digital interface technology.
* Written by leading audio and video technology experts.

* An essential reference for broadcast engineers.

About this title

From the Publisher:

In the Digital Interface Handbook, Francis Rumsey and John Watkinson bring together their combined experience to shed light on the differences between audio interfaces such as AES/EBU, SPDIF, SDIF, MADI and other manufacturer-specific implementations. They show how to make devices 'talk to each other' in the digital domain despite their subtle differences. They also include detailed coverage of all the regularly used digital video interfaces. A great deal more information on digital video will be found in this second edition. Now that the subject has reached a greater degree of standardization and equipment is entering service in greater quantities, it is possible to include more on the practical applications of video, including how to go about installing equipment, including a discussion of cable lengths.
