I asked this question over in rec.audio a while back and received the following pointer: AES3-1985 (ANSI S4.40-1985) AES Recommended Practice for Digital Audio Engineering-- Serial Transmission Format for Linearly Represented Digital Audio Data It was printed in J. Audio Eng. Soc., Vol 33, No. 12, 1985 December, p979ff. Note that the format of the _VIDEO_ I/O of the PCM recorder is quite different (digital info in an NTSC monochrome picture with sync pulses and so on), and I don't have that spec. If anyone has it, please post a reference. >--- >David Jedlinsky | The ideas expressed here do not necessarily >Digital Equipment Corporation | reflect the views of of my employer. >dcj@decvax.dec.com Bob Clements, K1BC, clements@bbn.com
