DSP Software Design
Pittsburgh Digital has a great deal of expertise in audio DSP algorithm design and prototyping.  We utilize an extensive in-house library of  Matlab™ audio-processing functions, and can rapidly prototype audio processing blocks, and run them on real-time DSP hardware for your evaluation.. 

For manufacturers who are unsure about a new idea or product, Pittsburgh Digital can simulate the technology in question, providing the client with a clear picture of performance prior to the client making extensive investments in development or manufacturing. 

We have a growing list of audio effects algorithms that we have implemented, and can incorporate into your next product. Our repertoire is ever-expanding, so please call us to discuss your specific needs. We can provide eXpress DSP (a.k.a. XDAIS) algorithms for all Texas Instruments DSP platforms. 

See our Proprietary Software Technology page for more information.
