other formats which can be transmitted over TOSLINK® up to 13.2
Mbit/s (NRZ encoding).
All 4 transmission lines work completely independent of each other. This
means different data formats, sample rates, resolutions etc. can be
transmitted at the same time.
With all formats, the embedded wordclock is also transmitted.
