DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE –
Part 3: Consumer applications
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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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.
IEC 60958-3 has been prepared by technical area 20: Analogue and digital audio, of IEC
technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment. It is an
International Standard.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2006, Amendment 1:2009

DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE –
Part 3: Consumer applications
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60958 specifies the consumer application of the interface for the inter-
connection of digital audio equipment defined in IEC 60958-1.
NOTE When used in a consumer digital processing environment, the interface is primarily intended to carry
stereophonic programmes, with a resolution of up to 20 bits per sample, an extension to 24 bits per sample being
possible.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
IEC 60958-1, Digital audio interface – Part 1: General
IEC 60958-5, Digital audio interface – Part 5: Consumer application enhancement
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60958-1 apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following
addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
4 Interface format
The interface format as defined in IEC 60958-1 shall be used.
Unless otherwise specified in Annex A to Annex T, the following specification is applicable.
• Audio sample word has a length of 20 bits/sample. The auxiliary sample bits are an optional
expansion of the audio sample, if not used = "0".
• User data is not used, all bits = "0".
• Channel status is identical for both subframes of the interface, with the exception of the
channel number, if that is not equal to zero.
5 Channel status
5.1 General
For every subframe, the channel status bit provides information related to the audio channel
that is carried in that same subframe.

– 10 – IEC 60958-3:2021 © IEC 2021
Channel status information is organized in a 192-bit block, subdivided into 24 bytes, numbered
0 to 23 (see Table 1). The first bit of each channel status block is carried in the frame with
preamble "B".
The individual bits of a channel status block are numbered 0 to 191.
The primary application is indicated by channel status bit 0.
As stated in IEC 60958-1, for the consumer digital audio applications described in this document
and IEC 60958-5, this first channel status bit equals "0".
NOTE As stated in IEC 60958-1, for professional applications, this first channel status bit equals "1".
Secondary applications may be defined within the framework of these primary applications.
5.2 Application
5.2.1 Channel status general format
For each channel, the channel status block provides the information described in this clause
and summarized in Table 1.

Byte 0: General control and mode information
Control:
Bit 0 "0" Consumer use of channel status block (Notes 1 and 2)

NOTE 1 The significance of byte 0, bit 0 is such that transmission from an interface conforming to IEC 60958-4 can
be identified.
Bit 1 "0" Audio sample word represents linear PCM samples (Note 2)
"1" Audio sample word used for other purposes

NOTE 2 The functions of channel status bits 0 and 1 are defined in IEC 60958-1.

Bit 2 "0" Software for which copyright is asserted (Note 3)
"1" Software for which no copyright is asserted

NOTE 3 Bit 2 is referred to as the "Cp-bit". It indicates whether copyright protection has been asserted.
The copyright status can be unknown for certain applications. The above interpretation is
therefore not valid in combination with some category codes (as indicated in the annex
associated with the category code). The Cp-bit can alternate between 0 and 1 at a rate between
4 Hz and 10 Hz (see Annex A).
Bits 3 to 5 Additional format information, meaning depends on bit 1.

State "0 0 0" 2 audio channels without pre-emphasis
"1 0 0" 2 audio channels with 50 µs/15 µs pre-emphasis
"0 1 0" Reserved (for 2 audio channels with pre-emphasis)
"1 1 0" Reserved (for 2 audio channels with pre-emphasis)
"0 0 1" Assigned for IEC 60958-5
"0 1 1" Assigned for IEC 60958-5
All other states of bits 3 to 5 are reserved and shall not be used until further
defined.
NOTE 4 The single and dual channel operating modes are defined with the frame format in IEC 60958-1.
When bit 1 = "1", other than linear PCM applications:
Bit 3 4 5
State "0 0 0" Default state for applications other than linear PCM
All other states of bits 3 to 5 are reserved and shall not be used until further
defined.
Bits 6 to 7 Channel status mode, indicates one of four possible channel status formats
(bytes 1 to 23). There are four possible modes for each of the states of
bit 1.
Bit 6 7
State "0 0" Mode 0, refer to 5.2.2
All other states of bits 6 and 7 are reserved and shall not be used until
further defined.
The contents of bits 8 to 191 depend on the mode as indicated by bits 6 and 7. If not defined
otherwise, the default value is "0".
