Hello
I am designing a multimedia centre using the imx6 and new to most of the stuff I come across with.
As part of the design I would like the card to support 5.1 and 7.1 home theater systems and for this
purpose, planning to use the S/PDIF interface that imx6 has.
Simply put my question is what intermediate ICs and devices do I need to connect in between my
home theather system and imx6 in case of;
- Coaxial
- Optical (TOSLINK)
When I give outputs from the Tx of the S/PDIF, how do I convert it to optical? If I use a coaxial connector
do I need nothing else but the cable in between? Obviously home theathre handles the DAC if it accepts
S/PDIF so that is not my problem.
A detailed explanation or guidance is welcome since I am completely new and self educated on the subject.
Thanks

Hi Atilla
for convertion to optical one can use for example
GP1FAV30RK0F,GP1FMV31TK0F. Common description

Hello Igor,
Thanks for your reply. Just to make sure, please verify what I have in my mind.
Linux running on I.MX6 S/PDIF interface using a transmitter (GP1FMV31TK0F) connected
to a home theather system through an optical calbe (TOSLINK) will be a setup enough
to make it work (See attachment below for the Setup).

Hi Atilla
yes, this setup is enough to make it work.
