DADPRO32 System Reference Manual Spring 2001 Introduction Thank you for investing in an ENCO Digital Audio Delivery (DAD) System, a product that enables multiple users to access high quality CD/DAT stereo audio that is stored digitally on a shared data network. DAD is developed using a modular approach that enables a complete system to range from a single standalone workstation with a single channel of record/playback capability to a facility-wide, multi-user, multi-channel-per-user audio network.
Spring 2001 System Reference Manual DADPRO32 the-shelf computer hardware. The only non-standard component is a proprietary Digital Signal Processor (DSP) circuit board. The DSP unit handles digital signal processing functions, leaving the CPU free to run the graphic interface and database operations. Each DSP circuit board can simultaneously process two signals (one channel of stereo audio).

Many features of DADPRO32 are intuitive in nature, and the Graphical User Interface provides a familiar and easy to use control panel. Operation via a QWERTY keyboard is also supported. The manual guides the reader through installation and setup, a brief tutorial, and DADPRO32 features and functions, from basic to advanced.
Spring 2001 System Reference Manual DADPRO32 Conventions Used in This Manual The DADPRO32 user interface consists of several full-frame graphic screens and a variety of overlaying pop-ups, each of which contains buttons, slide controls, list areas, and other features. This guide will assume the operator is using a monitor with an integral touch screen, and will therefore instruct the operator to “touch” features on the screen.
