balanced/unbalanced connections

The SPDIF is the Digital Input.

I have a external Lexicon effects processor, and if I want to use it in cubase I would normally need to use 2 of my outputs to connect to it, and 2 inputs to connect back in, but instead it has a digital output, and a VST plugin for cubase which allows the external unit to be used as if it was a regular software plugin. I can use this and dont loose a single analogue input or output.

You can also use them to connect to external CD and Hard Drive recorders with SPDIF inputs in order that the best possible signal can be received by the recorder etc.
