Docking device
Depending on the manufacturer’s intention, a docking device can be used for:
•
charging a device (like a mobile phone’s desktop charger)
•
enhancing a device (like Creative’s PC Dock)
•
data transfer (like a handheld device’s docking station)
•
any combination of the above
DRM
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a technology which enables the copyright owner of intellectual
property, like a digital audio file, to control how you, the listener, can use the file. It is normally used to
allow you to download digital audio files while preventing you from distributing the files to other people
or other devices. With DRM, digital audio files contain digital signatures. Creative PlayCenter and your
player are DRM-compliant.
EAX
EAX enables you to enhance your audio with various equalizer presets, environments and effects. For
example, you can apply a Concert Hall environment to a solo guitar track. Applying an environment will
make it seem as if the audio is coming from that environment. EAX also provides you with Time-
Scaling, Advanced EQ and Smart Volume Management.
Encoder
While there are many types of encoders, an MP3 encoder is a tool capable of translating audio into an
MP3 bitstream. You need an MP3 encoder to create MP3s.
Environment
A collection of presets, for example, Opera House, Bath Room and Auditorium, that you can choose to
enhance your audio.
Equalization
A process that increases or decreases audio at certain frequencies, so that treble, midrange or bass
sounds are heightened or reduced. Advanced EQ provides equalizer presets such as Acoustic, Classical
and Jazz.
Firmware
The software in your player that allows you to perform numerous functions including playing and
recording audio. The firmware can be used with the supplied applications as described in "Using
Applications" on page 4-2.
You can check to see if your player’s firmware is up-to-date by checking the firmware version number
against the firmware download available at www.NOMADworld.com.
