What is the meaning of optical sp dif outport?
S/PDif is a digital communication standard. It stands for Sony/Phillips Digital InterFace. S/PDIF is a way of digitally sending sound in up to dolby 7.1 digitally, so there's no analogue noise or signal loss. S/PDIF has two interfaces; optical and coaxial. Both are equal in quality, but the optical interface uses a laser and fiber optic cable to transmit the data, whereas the coaxial uses electrical signals. With S/PDIF, the communication is one direction; in other words, input or output. Many computers today have a S/PDIF out, which can go to a receiver that has a S/PDIF in.
