2.4 Audio support
The Wizard DP Extender units can transfer analog and digital audio signals across the CATx cable link. Standard analog audio is
supported through 3.5mm jacks on the transmitter and receiver units: Line In/Out on the transmitter; Line In/Out plus
Microphone/Headphones on the receiver.
Additionally, the Line In socket on the transmitter and the Line Out socket on the receiver are dual purpose. They can accept
either 3.5mm analog jacks or mini-TOSLINK optical fibre connectors. The latter provide access to the optical S/PDIF (Sony/Philips
Digital InterFace) capabilities supported by the Wizard DP Extender system, which transmits PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio
at 96KHz. The digital and analog channels run independently alongside each other via the CATx link.
Third party adaptors (not supplied) are available to convert between the mini-TOSLINK connections used on the Wizard DP
Extender units and the more common full size TOSLINK connectors found on many audio/visual devices.
