AES3

AES3 is the standard used for the transport of digital audio signals between professional audio devices. It is also known as AES/EBU and is published by the Audio Engineering Society (AES) and as part of IEC 60958. It was developed by the AES and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and first published in 1985 and later revised in 1992 and 2003. It is able to carry two channels of PCM audio over several different transmission mediums including balanced and unbalanced lines and optical fiber. A consumer variant of the standard, S/PDIF, is also available.
