Professional video interfaces are undergoing a change, in part due to the age of the initial digital systems, and also because of the emergence of high-performance interconnects for consumer use.

A video processing pipeline encompasses end-to-end audio and video processing, commencing with A/V capture and culminating at a video display. As shown in Figure 1, this pipeline typically includes ...

In Signal Chain Basics #34, we covered some of today's commonly used digital audio interfaces, from chip-to-chip I 2 S™ (Inter IC Sound) to system-to-system interfaces such as S/PDIF and AES/EBU.

As audio integrated circuit designs move to finer geometries, it becomes more difficult to design, and less cost-effective to integrate, high-performance analog circuits on the same piece of silicon ...
