Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "AES/EBU" in French language version.
« It is common to see the AES3 Standard referred to as the AES/EBU Standard even though that is not strictly correct since AES3 makes the transformers optional, while the EBU requires them. »
« At the 1980 meeting of IEC Technical Committee 29, a working group was formed to establish a consumer interface for the then new Compact Disc equipment. At the same time it was asked to ratify the AES and EBU work on the professional interface. The relationship between those interested in the consumer interface and those interested in the professional specifications was not always easy. Nevertheless, the IEC group has always seen the advantages of a basically similar interface structure for professional and domestic versions. The resulting IEC Publication 958 of 1986 contained closely similar consumer and professional interfaces. This ultimately produces greater economies throughout the whole audio industry. In fact, only the major difference between the two applications is in the areas of the ancillary data and the electrical structure. »
