Testing HDMI audio using an external audio source

The generator provides basic

, two-channel LPCM audio signals. However, it can encode

multichannel audio signals from an external SPDIF source (such as a DVD player) with the
HDMI content stream.

The generator enables you to pass an IEC 61937 non-linear PCM encoded audio stream.
You can input multi-channel compressed audio streams (for example AC-3 and DTS) into
the SPDIF input.
