I left Analog Devices nearly 15 years ago as Director of DSP Products. Back then, SHARC was barely swimming, and Blackfin was a twinkle in a few eyes.
But ADI treated me to a rare experience: a live, hands-on demo of a development tool that worked exactly as described.
VisualAudio is a tool that stitches hand-coded library elements together with optional, user added code to create new audio systems in minutes. Admittedly the tool targets the company's EZ-Kits for SHARC, but the model is very straight forward.
The proof for me was when asked to create a completely new system from scratch, they clicked the boxes, pushed the button, and in literally less than five minutes I was listening to a new set of audio processing algorithms operating on a live feed.
I can't recall the last time that a live demo went as smoothly when the audience asked for extemporaneous design.
Nice job ADI!
