UAD-1

UAD-1

The UAD-1 is a PCI card with an onboard DSP processor sold by Universal Audio, designed to allow audio plug-ins to be used without using the host computers CPU to process effects. This enables to user to utilize accurate, but processor intensive, reverbs, eq's, compressors, limiters, and the like in real time.

A PCI card manufactured by Cambridge Audioworks

It has an MPACT2 processor which is a 125 MHz, graphics, audio and video media processor, used primarily for AGP graphics cards and hardware DVD decoding in 1997.

The 3d functions are hard wired on the chip.

Xenon Microsystems (later named Chromatic Research) Chromatic Mpact 2 Video Adapter

The idea has some problems (using a gpu on the pci bus), but a gpu is theoretically capable of 50 and more GFlops of the GPU instead of five GFlops of the CPU.

Getting the data back from the video card is very slow.

The exact GFlops capability of the MPACT2 processor is unknown.

Chromatic Research was acquired by ATI Technologies, November 1998.
