GLOSSARY
AES/EBU:
This digital audio standard is also called AES3 and was
published as part of IEC 60958. It is used for carrying
digital audio signals between devices. Developed by
the Audio Engineering Society (AES) and the European
Broadcasting Union (EBU) Several different physical
connectors are defined as part of the overall group of
standards. A balanced connection (IEC 60958 Type I)
uses 3 conductor, 110 ohm twisted pair cabling with
a 3 pin XLR connector (this is the variant used on the
BDP-2 and other Bryston products). See also SPDIF
which is a variant of the AES3 standard.
BONJOUR

devices such as printers, the BDP-2 and other com-
puters, and the services that those devices offer on
a local network using multicast Domain Name System
service records. It is available as freeware from Apple
Inc. for personal computers running Apple or Windows
operating systems. It is usually pre-installed on Apple
