These devices are broken into various device classes. Each device class defines the common behavior and protocols for devices that serve similar functions. The HID (Human Interface Device) class is one of the device classes. The HID class consists primarily of devices that are used by humans to control the operation of computer systems. Typical examples of HID class devices include: - Keyboards and pointing devices, for example: mouse, trackballs, and joysticks. - Front-panel controls, for example: knobs, switches, buttons, and sliders. Controls that might be found on devices such as VCR remote controls, games or simulation devices, for example: data gloves, throttles, and steering wheels. - Devices that may not require human interaction but provide data in a similar format to HID class devices, for example: bar-code readers, thermometers, or voltmeters. 6.3.2 HID DESCRIPTOR HID Interface Descriptor Offset Field Size Value (Hex) 0 bLength 1 09 Size of this descriptor: 9 byte 1 bDescriptorType 1 04 INTERFACE descriptor type 2 bInterfaceNumber 1 02 Number of Interface 3 bAlternateSetting 1 00 alternate 0 Date: 09/25/2005 Description Version: 1.02 - 17 - Nitrogen D2 USB Audio With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive Solution Offset Field Size Value (Hex) Description 4 bNumEndpoints 1 01 Number of endpoints used by this Interface: 1 5 bInterfaceClass 1 03 HID Interface Class 6 bInterfaceSubClass 1 00 No Subclass 7 bInterfaceProtocol 1 00 Must be set to 0 8 iInterface 1 00 Index of a string descriptor that describes this interface.

Classical music is a good example, with ranges from piano (soft) to forte to FFF (for extremely loud). Movies also typically have a wide dynamic range, which may cause you to have to turn the volume up and down as scenes change. For example, when watching a movie at home, you may be forced to turn up volume to hear the dialog in a quiet scene, and then quickly turn it down again during a car chase scene that follows. In this way, there may be times in a home theater environment when it would be useful to be able to control the dynamic range. +20dB +10dB Peaks Reduced 0dB -10dB -20dB -30dB -40dB -50dB B A Lower Levels Raised -60dB With Dynamic Range Control enabled, the full dynamic range (A) of the program is reduced (B).

With this real-time software encoder, the existing and future customers who are using C-Media USB audio solution and devices can obtain this digital quality audio output by S/PDIF format much easier than before. This function can output various 3D and environmental sound effects by high quality AC-3 encoding; in the meantime, it exhibits supreme efficiency—it takes only 7% of CPU consumption from a Pentium 4 Processor. A technology that can encode all the digital audio content on PC into Dolby Digital stream in real-time. It can then be sent to external decoder for playback. All path are digital and wiring is simple. 6.5.2 DIGITAL THEATER SYSTEM (DTS interactive) Besides Dolby, C-Media was also the world first PC audio provider whom can integrate whole DTS Digital DSP technology in software module. Everyone knows that, DTS is the famous of the world sound technology which guarantee high quality and performance. DTS Interactive can take any content (WMA, MP3, CD, and more!) to transfer 5.1 multi-chances with real-time whenever play on line game, listen music, and watch VCD. A real-time DTS encoder which takes any LPMC (2 channel or more) and encodes it into DTS bit stream. The data transfer format is 48 KHz at 1.5 mb/sec. Just using a single cable connection to your DTS enabled surround sound system such as, powered PC speakers, an A/V receiver or any other DTS compatible surround sound system. Better yet, the pure digital signal not only prevents the audio signal from distortion, but also reduces the number of wires connected between PC and a HI-FI audio system. That is to say, this breakthrough real-time AC-3 or DTS encoder can digitally transmit data from PC to HI-FI system via a single RCA cable, instead of three pairs in an analog signal case in the past. Date: 09/25/2005 Version: 1.02 - 20 - Nitrogen D2 USB Audio With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive Solution 6.6 BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES Uses a single digital connection Transforms all PC audio signals into a Dolby and DTS Digital signal Optimized for low-latency interactive applications Provides realistic 5.1-channel surround sound effects during interactive video game play Advantages of this feature： 1.Getting higher quality audio signal output compared with any other SPDIF-Out solutions. C-Media Xear 3D™ Plus DDL or DTS INTERACTIVE encoder sound solution can directly process and transmit any PC sound source to digital AC-3 or DTS signal. Digital-transmitted data processed by software driver can absolutely rule out the characteristics influence of DAC quality. Therefore, users are able to get the best sound quality. 2.General PC audio SPDIF-Out solution can only provide 2CH PCM data to external amplifier. If users want to output high quality digital AC-3 or DTS INTERACTIVE bit-stream, they have to rely on software DVD player, from which only DVD playback is achievable. In that case, it will limit and impair the high quality multi-channel sound Date: 09/25/2005 Version: 1.02 - 21 - Nitrogen D2 USB Audio With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive Solution enjoyment. C-Media DDL or DTS INTERACTIVE encoder solution not only retains the above functions, but also provides other possible applications on PC audio. Xear 3D™ plus AC-3 or DTS encoder sound solution can process any type of sound sources, and people are able to obtain 7.1CH output by using virtual SPEAKER SHIFTER™ to create optimized personal listening environment. 3.In terms of 3D gaming, C-Media Xear 3D™ sound engine for Dolby Digital Live or DTS INTERACTIVE encoder are far better than Window DirectX 3D sound emulator, in that it is powered by sophisticated HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) library, supporting environmental effects (EAX 1.0 & 2.0 compatible) to create highly immersive 3D gaming experience. All interactive sound effects of 3D game can real-time encoding to AC-3 or DTS INTERACTIVE bit-stream and getting high quality digital signal to external decoder and speakers for enjoyment.
