VXI introduces enhanced TuffSet USB headset connection cord with digital signal processing.


VXI (VME EXtensions for Instrumentation) A peripheral bus specialized for data acquisition and real time control systems. Introduced in 1987, VXI uses all Eurocard form factors and adds trigger lines, a local bus and other functions suited for measurement applications.  Corporation has introduced and shipped the new TuffSet USB USB
 in full Universal Serial Bus

Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer.
 headset Headphones combined with a microphone. Used in call centers and by people in telephone-intensive jobs, headsets provide the equivalent functionality of a telephone handset with hands-free operation. Many people use headsets at the computer so they can converse and type comfortably.  connection cord with digital signal processing See DSP.

Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled).
 (DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive ) technology. Made specifically for high quality voice applications on a computer, such as VoIP, this TuffSet USB connection cord conveniently attaches to any VXI TuffSet quick disconnect style headset for easy integration in the contact center or office.

With the implementation of Voice over the Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP.

(networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol.
 (VoIP), PC's already in use at the workstation are being utilized as IP softphones. Softphone applications effectively turn a computer into a telecommunications device.

"In order to maintain professional sounding calls, it is important to employ devices, which are specifically designed to manage the nuances of VoIP. TuffSet USB effectively equips the user with the technology they need to use VoIP successfully," said David Truesdell, Vice President of Engineering of VXI Corporation.

TuffSet USB utilizes a 24-bit, high signal to noise ratio CODEC to convert the analog microphone signal to digital, thereby providing a signal that is completely compatible within the digital environment of the computer. The 32 bit digital signal processing (DSP) allows high-level audio conditioning including the removal of voice echo problems on both ends of the call. It also adds side tone, which is the subtle sensation of being able to perceive your own voice in the earpiece, making the VoIP experience feel much like using a standard telephone.

The high speed, USB connection bypasses the sound card, thereby removing the problems of hardware incompatibility The inability of a Husband and Wife to cohabit in a marital relationship.


incompatibility n. the state of a marriage in which the spouses no longer have the mutual desire to live together and/or stay married, and is thus a ground for divorce
 and PC system sound interference, which is often associated with the use of sound cards.

Finally, combine the benefits of DSP and USB with the user-friendly features of VXI's professional grade headsets, and you have a superior hands-free solution for VoIP and other computer applications. For contact centers that utilize different types of phone equipment, you can easily interchange TuffSet USB headsets between standard telephones and computer applications.

List price for the TuffSet USB connection cord is $69.98. All VXI TuffSet products are backed by VXI's aggressive two-year unconditional warranty. For more information visit www.vxicorp.com.
