Consumer audio/video equipment - Digital interface - Part 6: Audio and music data transmission protocol

IEC 61883-6:2014 describes a protocol for the transmission of audio and music data employing IEEE 1394 and specifies essential requirements for the application of the protocol. This protocol can be applied to all modules or devices that have any kind of audio and/or music data processing, generation and conversion function blocks. This standard deals only with the transmission of audio and music data. The control, status and machine-readable description of these modules or devices should be defined outside of this standard according to each application area. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2005, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following changes:- AM824 sequence adaptation layer for Blu-ray Disc application is added.- Blocking transmission method becomes normative.- Previously defined protocols have been included for the sake of backwards compatibility.

Consumer audio/video equipment - Digital interface - Part 6: Audio and music data transmission protocol

IEC 61883-6:2005 describes a protocol for the transmission of audio and music data employing IEEE 1394 and specifies essential requirements for the application of the protocol. This protocol can be applied to all modules or devices that have any kind of audio and/or music data processing, generation and conversion function blocks. This document deals only with the transmission of audio and music data This second edition of IEC 61883-6 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002. This edition contains the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - It extends the AM824 data format. - It specifies new data types for SMPTE time code, sample count, high-precision multi-bit linear audio and ancillary data. - It changes the terminology "raw audio data" to "multi-bit linear audio (MBLA)". - It defines sequence multiplexing and MIDI data required to the AM824 adaptation process. - It describes application-specific data transmission such as DVD-audio and SACD. - It specifies the N-flag that indicates command-based rate control and defines new sampling frequency code (SFC) definition and interpretation. This bilingual version (2012-08) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2005-10.
