Trusted brands like Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, and NXP are in stock, alongside maker favourites like Adafruit and Arduino add-ons.

What Do Audio & Video Processors Do?

• Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) for audio effects, shaping, mixing, and noise reduction
• Video decoders, scalers, transcoders, and matrix switchers
• Converters: ADC/DACs, HDMI to VGA, audio codec ICs, up/down samplers
• Channel management for mixing, broadcasting, and multi-zone installations

Modern AV builds often need specialised chips: for instance, DSPs correct room acoustics or voice clarity, while video processors ensure crisp visuals on digital displays. Selecting the right processor means improved performance, reliability, and user experience in everything from school media centres to industrial automation displays.
