Abstract
A digital transmission system is disclosed having a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting and receiving a digital audio signal. The digital audio signal is in the form of samples of a specific wordlength and occurring at a specific sampling rate. The transmitter including an input terminal for receiving the digital audio signal and for receiving a first information word having a relationship with the specific wordlength and a second information word having a relationship with the specific sampling rate. A formatting unit is present far combining the digital audio signal and the first and second information words into a serial datastream suitable for transmission via a transmission medium. The wordlength of the samples in the digital audio signal, expressed in number of bits, being equal to n, where n is an integer larger than zero, and the sampling rate is equal to 2.F, where p is an integer larger than zero and Fis equal to a frequency value taken from a group of at least two frequency values, said group of frequency values including 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. The receiver comprises a sample rate converter for converting the sampling rate of the signal received.
