Frequently asked questions

What does DSP do in audio equipment?

It applies effects and corrections to sound in the digital domain, such as equalisation, delay, compression and noise cancellation. Because it works on numbers rather than analogue voltages, the same hardware can be reprogrammed for different tasks.

What is the difference between a DSP and a CPU?

A CPU is a general-purpose processor designed to run any kind of program. A DSP is specialised for repetitive maths on streams of samples, which it does with far less power and latency, but it is poor at general computing tasks.

What is a DSP in advertising?

A demand-side platform is the buying tool advertisers use to bid on ad impressions across thousands of sites and apps automatically. It is the counterpart of the supply-side platform, which publishers use to sell that inventory.
