HDSP-V Support Page
Congratulations on your purchase of your new Zapco HDSP-V Series Digital Signal Processor. This series includes the both 16-Channel and 8-Channel processors. 16-Channel units operating at 96 kHz and 8-channel units operating at 192 kHz. While all units share the same processing functions and features, the arrangement options of digital and analog inputs and outputs (and processing speed) allow you to choose exactly the setup you need.
Your HDSP processor is the first step in Zapco’s quest to produce the perfect signal processor. The HDSP’s modular design is critical to that quest, allowing us to continue our research and development, while providing you the knowledge that your HDSP can be easily upgraded as new advances are made. For example, Zapco is already working on a unique auto-tuning system that considers everything from phase to delay to equalization to provide an optimum listening experience to everyone in the room (or car), regardless of their seating position. All you’ll need is a software update and a microphone package.
The HDSP-V Series is an evolving product and any number of features will be added as new technologies become available. You will want to keep a regular eye out for updates at this page to keep your HDSP current.
Digital Control Program
The HDSP-V Zapco processors are controlled by a PC using the Zapco Digital Control Program. The program is designed to work on all Windows systems from XP to W-10. Download the program and put it in a folder, or leave it in downloads, navigate to Setup.exe and click to begin setup. Follow the instructions for setup.
