Testing HDMI audio using an external audio source
The 882 enables you to inject audio signals from an external SPDIF source (such as a
DVD player) into the HDMI content stream. You can input IEC 61937 non-linear PCM
encoded audio stream or compressed audio streams (for example AC-3 and DTS) into the
SPDIF interface for output through the HDMI Tx connector.
