Demonstration
San Francisco March 31, 1999 (FS Communications) For engineers and designers
working with digital signal processing (DSP) technology, the product exhibition at the
upcoming DSP World Spring Design Conference provides one of the best opportunities this
year to see the tools and technologies needed to create hot new electronic systems. The
show floor will feature more than 50 new products, including advanced processor
architectures, software tools and multiprocessor development boards, as well as an
exciting demonstration of 10.2 channel sound made possible by advances in DSP technology.
More than 75 companies will participate in the April 27-28
product exhibition at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif. It is part
of a three-day technical conference which features a program of 59 classes and full-day
tutorial sessions on the issues involved in working with digital signal processing to
design next-generation products.
“The pace of innovation in DSP technology continues to accelerate, reflecting the
increasing range of DSP applications and their commercial importance,” said Jeff
Bier, general manager and co-founder of DSP analysis and software firm Berkeley Design
Technology, Inc. “This trend is most evident in the number of sophisticated new
processors being developed. The exhibition at DSP World Spring will
include at least six new processors, many featuring unusual, advanced architectures.”
Among the advanced products shown for the first time, Motorola Semiconductor Products and
Lucent, Inc. will unveil a processor architecture that is the first new product from their
Star*Core joint design team. Other processor
designs that will be exhibited at DSP World Spring include products from Analog Devices,
DSP Group, Frontier Design, Hyperstone Electronics, and Siemens AG.
Bier, who is a co-presenter of three different classes at DSP World Spring, also said,
“While processors will get a lot of attention, we’ll also see a variety of tools, application software, development boards, and third-party support for application development on the
show floor. Innovative products in these categories include debugging tools,
multiprocessor development boards, and software libraries.”
Also on the show floor, attendees will have the opportunity to experience one of the
world’s most advanced sound systems. Developed by TMH Corporation, this experimental
10.2 channel audio system is able to reproduce sound that is so realistic that it
approaches the limits of human perception. Every thirty minutes, attendees will have the
opportunity to experience the impact of this system which has only been demonstrated to
the public once before. The president of TMH Corporation, Tomlinson Holman, will discuss
the demonstration in a keynote speech at the conference on Tuesday, April 27 at 5:15 p.m.
He will address how the demand for near perfect audio-visual experiences presents exciting
challenges and opportunities for designers
and engineers working with DSP technology.
Other special events at the DSP World Spring Design Conference include two panel
discussions on DSP architectures. On Tuesday, April 28 at 1:15 p.m. registered conference
attendees can attend a panel titled, “ DSP Architectures: The Final Showdown?”
Moderated by Krishna Yarlgadda, president and CEO of AVAJ Corporation, the panel members
will include key technologists from major DSP chip vendors including Texas Instruments,
Lucent Technologies, Analog Devices, and Motorola.
On Wednesday, April 28 at 10:00 a.m., a plenary session titled, “The Future of DSP:
Separate or Merging Architectures?” will be moderated by Henry Davis, who writes for
publications such as EDTN, COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS DESIGN, and EDN’s DSP and Wireless
Supplements. Registered attendees are also invited to participate in a freeform discussion
with the DSP World Spring faculty and the Technical Advisory Committee at a “Meet the
Speakers” breakfast on Wednesday morning.
