METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMISSION OF DECODED MULTI-CHANNEL DIGITAL AUDIO IN SPDIF FORMAT

摘要

A method and system for processing multi-channel audio data may include selecting one or more SPDIF data frames from a plurality of decoded multi-channel audio data frames. The selected one or more SPDIF data frames, header information corresponding to the one or more SPDIF data frames, and/or one or more channel status bits corresponding to the one or more SPDIF data frames may be packetized. The one or more channel status bits may indicate one or more audio channels for the selected one or more SPDIF data frames. The indication of the one or more audio channels may be stored in at least one multi-channel mode field of the one or more channel status bits. The packetized one or more SPDIF data frames may be from a single audio channel and/or from a plurality of audio channels.
