Which of the following connection types can be used for digital transfers in Pro Tools?

The selection of both SPDIF and AES/EBU as valid connection types for digital transfers in Pro Tools is accurate because both formats are widely used for high-quality digital audio transmission.

SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a consumer-level digital audio format that transmits stereo audio signals between devices without quality loss. It typically uses either optical or coaxial cables and is commonly found in various audio devices and interfaces.

On the other hand, AES/EBU (Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union) is a professional standard for digital audio transmission. It is similar in function to SPDIF but generally supports higher-quality audio signals over balanced XLR connections, which are commonly used in studio settings and professional audio equipment.

Both connection types effectively transmit digital audio without degradation of quality, making them suitable for use in Pro Tools sessions where maintaining the integrity of audio throughout the recording and mixing process is essential.
