Need Consumer receiver recommandation for SPDIF Audio
Just hooked-up DeckLInk Pro and plugged audio into my Yamaha home theater system digital-in.
No luck. Found out that Yamaha does not work with S/PDIF audio.
My understanding is that Yamaha is the exception, and that most other brands will work.
Is this true? If so, what would be a good choice.
Thank You!

Craig,
I recommend Denon, no problem with the SPDIF (Pro bits on) from the DeckLinks and have also used Sony DB and ES series units with success.
In a recent installation of a DeckLink HD Pro Dual Link for Iron Maiden I came up against the Yamaha not liking pro-bits and every digital amp in the client’s home was Yamaha, went out and bought a Denon problem solved.
On the big Yamaha units you can see that a signal is coming in but no sound, it’s very much like the consumer DAT units that don’t like pro bits either and is probably some form of digital copy protection getting in the way.

Jonathan,
What is Pro Bits? I posted earlier about a problem with having the audio dropping out on my Decklink Pro card. I use a Pioneer receiver.
Could my problem be the “Pro Bits” that you are talking about?
Thanks,
Dan Weber

I recomend using a Tascam TM-D1000 mixxer. When I switched to an all SDI and AES/EBU solution I bought one from ebay. It is a discontinued mixxer , but it has great AES/EBU as well as SPDIF inputs and outputs. It will also convert to analog for you. I added one of those little converters from AJA to convert SDI to Component and Composite.
