Qualis Audio Sentinel

Qualis Audio Sentinel

The Qualis Audio SENTINEL was designed to address the compound needs of increased broadcast Surround Sound monitoring requirements, decreased personnel availability and shrinking budgets. It uses advanced signal processing algorithms to directly answer broadcast user’s fundamental questions, rather than merely displaying

A.D. Pro designed portions of the digial input analysis and routing FPGA and performed modeling and debugging of these and other portions of the logic.

Alesis MasterControl

Alesis mASTERcONTROL

Based on the Dice 2 Firewire audio chip architected by A.D. Pro while at Digital Harmony, A.D. Pro led a truly globe spanning project with hardware design in Seattle, firmware designed in Seattle, Denmark and Toronto, DSP algorithms designed in Seattle and South Africa, Moving Fader Motor Control designed in Seattle and PC/Mac cross-platform software designed in Seattle, Toronto and South Africa.  Much time was spent in China getting this great product into production.  See: http://alesis.com/mastercontrol

Alesis IO 26 and IO 14

Another globe-spanning project led by A.D. Pro.  Hardware, most of the firmware, and much of the hardware created by A.D. Pro while leading firmware, DSP and software design resources in Seattle, Toronto, South Africa and manufacturing in China. See http://www.alesis.com/io26

Alesis MultiMix Firewire

Mixer designed in China with Firewire interface hardware and firmware desinged in Seattle, software designed in Seattle and South Africa. Three varients of this design are manufactured in China: 16, 12 and 8-channels. See: http://www.alesis.com/multimixfirewire

DigitalDeck Media Controller

Based on Broadcom's real-time MPEG 2 encoding and decoding technology, A.D. Pro did all hardware design on this award-winning thin-client set-top-box. A.D. Pro travelled to China to assist with first prototype and first production runs, designing test and quality control proceedures and ensuring that the products passed and maintained all certification standards.

Digital Harmony Technologies

dht

While Chief Architect at DHT, A.D. Pro led the design and implementation of numerous award-wnning Audio Video trade show demonstrations. Leading 4 engineering divisions as a hands-on manager, A.D. Pro designed and implemented the Architecture of a (now shipping) 2 Million gate Firewire Audio/Video IC, as well as several licensable reference designs.

Symetrix Incorporated

While Director of Engineering at Symetrix, A.D. Pro developed all departmental engineering processes from the ground up. Besides managing a cross-functional engineering team, A.D. Pro also designed 6 of Symetrix' products.

Symetrix 528E

A.D. Pro designed all hardware, firmware, and DSP algorithms for this award winning voice processor. see: Symetrix 528E

Symetrix 620

A.D. Pro played a significant part in the development of Audio A/D conversion. Having been the first engineer to ever place a delta-sigma converter into a shipping product, A.D. Pro later used the groundbreaking work of Dr. Stanley Lipshitz to create the first commercially available audio A/D converter using noise shaped dither.

Symetrix 402

Dual room delay.

Lucid NB24 SPDIF/AES3 Soundcard

When Apple introduced NuBus(TM) Technology, A. D. Pro was on the forefront designing a NuBus SPDIF/AES 3 card. This card was based on FPGA technology with all audio handling code develped by A.D. Pro. Apple Drivers, middleware, and control panel application written by and under direction of A.D. Pro

Peavey Electronics

AMR SDR 20/20 Stereo Multi-Effects Processor, Peavey ProFex and ProFex II Instrument Preamp / Multi-Effects processors, Peavey MultiFex / AMR QFX 4X4 Four channel Multi Effects processor, Peavey UltraVerb / AMR DSR-1000 Multi-Effects processor, Peavey AddVerb II, Peavey Univerb and Univerb II, AMR MAP 4 X 8 Midi controlled analog Patchbay, Peavey MTB 2X4 Midi thru-box.

Besides designing embedded system devices, A.D. Pro had active roles in standardization of the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) standard for control of networked devices and the AES3 standard for digital audio communications now used in every digital home entertainment device on the market. Both of these I was implementing in FPGAs and microprocessors before there were commercially available integrated circuits to do the job.
