Engineering Where Your EyE See

HD-Audio Solo Ultra is a high-definition audio remastering and authoring studio. Use it to create media delivering pristine and livelike signals to your audio system : import music; remaster it if desired (upsample to HD, upmix to 5.1, process with VST plug-ins); and export to DVD-Audio / DVD-Video discs or convert to computer files in high-definition surround. Remastering to high-definition and 5.1 surround - import music tracks from computer files, iTunes playlists, mp3, CD or DVD-Audio discs (unprotected, non MLP). If they are in stereo, convert them to 5.1 surround for an immersive experience. And/or upsample them to high-definition up to 24bit/192kHz for enhanced clarity and details. Export to DVD or files as wav/flac/wma/A52/aac/mp4/mkv with still video. DVD-Audio / DVD-Video auhoring - author DVD-Audio, DVD-Video or universal (both) discs with music up to 24bit / 192 kHz or 5.1 surround. Add pictures to each track for slideshow effect. Configure the channels of a track into two groups of different resolutions (unique to DVD-Audio) for optimal disc space use. 1-Click conversion - the 1-Click function will let you remaster an entire CD directly to a high-definition surround DVD in a few clicks. Or you can convert from folfer to folder just as simply. VST plug-ins support - HD-Audio Solo Ultra acts as a VST host capable of accepting most VST plug-ins for processing on the fly. There is vast offer or commercial and freeware VST plug-ins, ranging from audio effects to spectrum analyzers. Benefits of remastering - (1) To encode the audio signal in a way that is more easily reproducible by electronics equipment with less distorsion and closer to the original analog signal, with professional quality upsampling; (2) To supplement the stereo channels with surround channels to restore the sound stage closer to live experience, with upmixing.

AMPS
Advanced Mobile Phone System: a 1G standard which operates in the 800-900MHz-frequency band. It is still widely used in the United States.
Analog
The simple way to transmit speech, which is translated into electronic signals of different frequency and/or amplitude. The first networks for mobile phones, as well as broadcast transmissions, were analog. Due to being longer established in some countries, analog networks may offer better coverage than digital networks, however analog phones are less secure and suffer more from interference where the signal is weak. Analog systems include AMPS, NMT and ETACS.
API
Historically, “application programming interface”. Practically, an API is any interface that enables one program to use facilities provided by another, whether by calling that program, or by being called by it. At a higher level still, an API is a set of functionality delivered by a programming system, and as such the mix of APIs in a particular system tells you what that system can do.
Bluetooth
An open specification for seamless wireless short-range communications of data and voice between both mobile and stationary devices. For instance, it specifies how mobile phones, computers and PDAs interconnect with each other, with computers, and with office or home phones. The first generation of Bluetooth permits exchange of data up to a rate of 1 Mbps per second, even in areas with much electromagnetic disturbance. It transmits and receives via a short-range radio link using a globally available frequency band (2.4 GHz ISM band).
bps
Bits per second: a way of quantifying data transmission throughput. It is the number of pieces of information (bits) transmitted or received per second.

1G
In mobile telephony, first-generation systems were analog, circuit-switched. Voice links were poor, handoff unreliable, capacity low, and security non-existent. 1G systems are not now under active development – indeed, in some areas 1G spectrum is being auctioned for 2G and 3G use.

2G
In mobile telephony, second-generation protocols use digital encoding and include GSM, D-AMPS (TDMA) and CDMA. 2G networks are in current use around the world. These protocols support high bit rate voice and limited data communications. They offer auxiliary services such as data, fax and SMS. Most 2G protocols offer different levels of encryption.
2.5G
In mobile telephony, 2.5G protocols extend 2G systems to provide additional features such as packet-switched connection (GPRS) and enhanced data rates (HSCSD, EDGE).
3G
In mobile telephony, third-generation protocols support much higher data rates, measured in Mbps, intended for applications other than voice. 3G networks trials started in Japan in 2001. 3G networks are expected to be starting in Europe and part of Asia/Pacific by 2002, and in the US later. 3G will support bandwidth-hungry applications such as full-motion video, video-conferencing and full Internet access.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Electrical engineering, the discipline that employs the largest number of engineers, covers everything related to electrical devices, systems, and the use of electricity. Electrical engineers work on power plants, computers, and other electrical devices. Electrical engineers are designing the dashboard computers that will monitor engine functions on automobiles of the future.
