D2Audio Whitepapers Make One-Box Convergence for Media PC Easy
Media
PC Market & Convergence
Development Tool Highlighted in Whitepapers
AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 11, 2007 --
In support of Consumer Electronics brands that are looking to expand
their product range, D2Audio
Corporation announced today that two whitepapers, guiding the quick and
easy development of a true convergence platform for Media
PC and other products are now available online. The primary barrier
to one box convergence in the past was the integration of a home theater
class amplifier within a single enclosure and the capability of the
convergence technologies to operate from a single industry standard PC
power supply. The new D2Audio technologies and corresponding whitepapers
specifically address those issues.
A market overview of Media PC and amplified convergence platforms
provides solid background and perspective in this emerging market. To
view or download this whitepaper, titled “Media
PC & Convergence Platforms Overview,”
visit: http://www.d2audio.com/files/userfiles/ConvergenceOverview.pdf.
The second D2Audio whitepaper focuses on a new development tool for
convergence platforms. Titled “D2Audio
Digital Amplifier Add-In Card for Development of Media PC & Convergence
Platforms,” it contains five sections
designed to assist manufacturers, including an Overview, the Problems
That Exist, How D2Audio Addresses Those Problems, Details of D2Audio
Solutions, Impact of D2Audio Solutions and Market Impact.
Using the D2Audio Digital Amplifier Add-In Card places the main
processing IC, the D2Audio® Digital Audio
Engine 3™ (DAE-3™)
on the motherboard while actual amplifier power components or
high-performance pre-amplifier components are located on interchangeable
D2Audio Digital Amplifier Add-In Cards. The Digital Amplifier Add-In
Cards also allow several amplifier configurations to be supported from a
single motherboard implementation, ranging from high-quality
pre-amplifier outputs, up to fully amplified 5.1 & 7.1 home theater
speaker outputs. For more information on the D2Audio Digital Amplifier
Add-In Cards, please visit http://www.d2audio.com/default.aspx?c=646&t=Media+PC+Solutions&k=.

The whitepaper also includes a wealth of information on complete digital
amplifier integration using newly developed D2Audio tools and standards
including the DAE-3 PWM controller for Media PC. The advantages of this
next generation development tool are that it is: a simplified solution,
easier to use, more flexible, allows personalization of system and
reduces development time.
The D2Audio DAE-3 technology makes it easy to swap amplifier cards,
allowing brands to quickly exchange product designs to produce more
variety & differentiation. Easily exchangeable cards also provide the
capability to quickly react to consumers’
desires and demands.
The D2Audio DAE-3 digital amplifier controller makes adding any of the
D2Audio Digital Amplifier Add-In Cards easy:
-
Simply plug the desired D2Audio Amplifier Add-In Card into the Media PC’s
standardized connector.
-
Motherboard control functions pass seamlessly to the DAE-3 “Add-In”
Card.
-
System “personality”
is controlled by the “Add-In”
Card. Each card type carries its own configuration data.
-
New, patent-pending D2Audio technology called “Real-time
Power Supply Monitoring & Protection”
constantly adjusts the available energy and current for each of its
powered amplifier channels. When the bass line is cranking up for
example, the system can allocate more power to that channel while
sending less to others that don’t need as
much. In addition, Real-time Power Supply Monitoring & Protection
allows a Media PC or convergence product to run off the existing PC
power supply without taxing it.
-
The D2Audio DAE-3 IC includes a High Definition Audio (HDA) interface
to enable an extraordinary sound quality from the digital system audio
interface. Competitors’ solutions must
utilize the analog audio signal from the low-performance PC audio
codec to provide the audio signal to an external amplifier, resulting
in poor audio quality and other problems.
