Connector (JIS F05) S/PDIF ( Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) [ ] is a type of interconnect used in consumer audio equipment to output audio over reasonably short distances. The signal is transmitted over either a with or a with connectors. S/PDIF interconnects components in and other digital systems. S/PDIF is based on the interconnect.

S/PDIF can carry two channels of uncompressed or 5.1/7.1 (such as ); it cannot support lossless formats (other than 2ch LPCM) such as and, that require greater bandwidth like that available with. S/PDIF is a protocol as well as a set of specifications for carrying digital audio signals between and over either optical or electrical cable. The name stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format but is also known as Sony/Philips Digital Interface. And were the primary designers of S/PDIF. S/PDIF is standardized in 60958 as IEC 60958 type II (IEC 958 before 1998).

S/PDIF was developed at the same time as the main standard, AES3, used to interconnect professional audio equipment in the. This resulted from the desire of the various standards committees to have at least sufficient similarities between the two interfaces to allow the use of the same, or very similar, designs for interfacing.

S/PDIF remained nearly identical at the level, but changed the physical connectors from to either electrical (with ) or (; i.e., F05 or EIAJ optical), both of which cost less than the XLR connection. The RCA connectors are typically colour-coded orange to differentiate from other RCA connector uses such as. The cable was also changed from 110 to 75 Ω, using RCA jacks. Signals transmitted over consumer-grade TOSLINK connections are identical in content to those transmitted over coaxial connectors, though TOSLINK S/PDIF commonly exhibits higher.

Resolution 24 bits 24 bits 20 bits (24 bits optional) Protocol specifications [ ] S/PDIF is used to transmit digital signals of a number of formats, the most common being the 48 kHz format (used in ) and the 44.1 kHz format, used in CD audio. In order to support both systems, as well as others that might be needed, the format has no defined. Instead, the data is sent using, which has either one or two transitions for every, allowing the original to be extracted from the signal itself. S/PDIF is meant to be used for transmitting 20-bit audio data streams plus other related information.

To transmit sources with less than 20 bits of sample accuracy, the superfluous bits will be set to zero. S/PDIF can also transport 24-bit samples by way of four extra bits; however, not all equipment supports this, and these extra bits may be ignored. With one exception, S/PDIF protocol is identical to. The channel status bit differs in S/PDIF. There is one channel status bit in each subframe, making 384 bits in each audio block.

The meaning of the channel status bits is completely different between AES3 and S/PDIF. For S/PDIF, the 192-bit block for each channel is divided into 12 of 16 bits each. The first 6 bits of the first word are a control code.
