`It was a criminal case involving an oil
`
`drilling company in the State of Kansas.
`
`Q.
`
`A.

`
`Q.
`
`Do you know what your role was,
`
`in what
`
`13
`
`capacity you were testifying?
`
`A.
`
`I was not any kind of an expert witness,
`
`I
`
`just happened to be a witness to something, and I
`
`can't even remember if it was a civil or criminal
`
`case.
`
`Too long ago.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Do you remember where it was?
`
`In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
`
`I believe.
`
`Just since it's been a long time,
`
`I'm going
`
`to go through some ground rules with you about the
`
`deposition process.
`
`the oath you just took has the

`
`First of all,
`
`same effect that an oath you would take in court has.
`
`That is, you have to tell the truth and the whole
`
`truth as you would in court.
`
`I noticed you have a box of Kleenexes. Are
`
`you feeling okay?
`
`A.
`
`I feel pretty good.
`
`I do have what's left
`

`

`
`Are you taking any drugs?
`
`I
`

`
`Do you feel well enough to remember
`
`everything today?
`
`A.
`
`I don't think my cold has affected my
`
`memory.

`
`Q.
`
`Is there any other reason that you don't
`
`14
`
`think you can go forward and testify today?
`
`A.
`
`No,
`
`I'm fine.
`
`I may have to use a Kleenex
`
`occasionally.
`
`Q.
`
`Some of the things we're going to be talking
`
`about
`
`today go way back,
`
`so you may not be able to
`
`remember everything,
`
`I would guess.
`
`If that's the
`
`case, you can simply say you don't remember
`
`something. There's nothing wrong with that, and you
`
`can give your best recollection of the events as you
`
`O9:
`
`25:
`
`58
`
`remember them.

`
`So if the answer to a
`
`question is yes, you'll have to say yes instead of
`
`nodding your head yes or nodding your head no.
`
`Instead,
`
`just say no.
`
`I'm going to ask some questions here in the
`
`morning and, we'll see, it might go through lunch and
`
`a little after that, and then Sightsound will be able
`
`to ask you questions as well, and we'll go as long as
`
`it takes. Hopefully we'll be done by the end of the

`

`
`A professional degree in architecture,

`bachelor of architecture from Carnegie Melon

`
`Actually, let's go back. When did you hold that job,
`
`for how long?
`
`A.
`
`Oh, we started that —— started working for
`
`Tony in 1972 and worked for him through 1974. About
`
`two years.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`And where did you go after that?
`
`I started a company with another —— a friend
`

`

`
`quickly moved into Boston in 1974.

`

`

`basically, we think we could save some money if we
`
`hired you full-time.
`
`And what company was that?
`
`That was Starsignal in Campbell, California.
`
`How long did you work at Starsignal?
`
`About a year.
`
`In about 1990 --
`
`Yes.
`
`-— is that where we are? And what was your
`
`Starsignal?
`
`I'm pretty sure I was one of the VPs of
`
`engineering, but that was a big title over what was
`
`basically an engineering job.

`

`
`The

`
`in San José, California.
`

`
`Q.
`
`And in that job, were you involved with the
`
`22
`
`transmission of digital audio signals?
`
`A.
`
`Well,
`
`to some extent.
`
`They were only
`
`transmitted locally.
`
`The main purpose of the work
`
`there was to develop the first erasable compact disk
`
`recorder —— erasable disk for compact disk, you know,
`
`players, recorders.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`And was that endeavor successful?
`
`From a technical point of view, it was
`
`successful. We produced working machines,
`
`finished
`
`machines, and working devices.
`
`They were not
`
`09:

`

`
`To Atari Corporation.
`
`And what were you doing at Atari?
`
`I'm trying to remember my exact title.
`
`I believe I started as a senior engineer
`
`group leader for the digital audio —— two digital
`
`audio projects. One,
`
`the digital audio for the Atari
`
`Falcon computer, 68040—based computer, and at the

`
`signal processing circuit for the Jaguar video game

`No.

`
`A.
`
`Well,
`
`to make money for the shareholders.
`
`Okay? That was the basic mission, but we were going
`
`to do that with two types of product. One, a
`
`professional-level digital audio workstation and,
`
`two, a consumer digital audio recorder, player,

`
`The workstation? Yes, we did. We were the
`
`first -— to the best of my knowledge, we were the
`
`first company to commercialize such a device.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`And what did you call that device?
`
`The DSP 2000 series. There was the 2002,
`
`2004 and so on, depending on how many audio channels
`
`it could process in parallel.
`
`Q.
`
`And did you ever make the consumer device
`
`that you spoke of?
`
`A.
`
`Yes, we did. We started building it in
`
`prototype form almost
`
`immediately.

`
`Digital signal processing, up until the time
`
`myself and a few other people in the industry started
`
`working with it, was purely the domain of the defense
`
`industry, really,
`
`the Navy in particular.
`
`The U.S.
`
`Navy had a very large effort in digital signal
`
`processing for audio for detecting submarines, you
`
`know, for coastal defense and processing signals to
`
`determine whether the hydrophones,
`
`the microphones
`
`underwater, were picking up, you know, whales or
`
`dolphins or submarines.

`
`Q.
`
`What do you mean when you say "digital
`
`signal processing"?
`
`A.
`
`Well,
`
`then I have to describe what an analog
`
`signal is. There are generally two classes of
`
`signals.
`
`In layman's terms, an analog signal is the
`
`wiggly line you see on ER on the scope, on the screen
`
`when you're watching some patient's heart fail and it
`
`goes beep, beep, beep, beep, and the line goes across
`
`the screen, and then it goes flat and the person's
`
`dead. That's the analog representation of a signal,
`
`a wiggly line going across some screen someplace.
`
`A digital signal is a series of numbers that
`
`GROSSMAN & COTTER
`
`PAGE 000025
`
`
`
`DAVID M. SCHWARTZ
`
`actually measures the —- represents the position of
`
`26
`
`that wiggly line in an X/y dimension.
`
`So it's a
`
`graph.
`
`You could say you plot the points that make
`
`up that line.
`
`So that's a digital signal.
`
`And when we say digital signal processing,
`
`it means to take that data,
`
`that set of numbers, and
`
`do something with it.
`
`And I'd like to go back to that consumer
`
`What did you call it?
`
`The DSP 1000.
`
`And "DSP" stands for?
`
`Well, we started saying digital signal

`
`I probably wrote the first draft of

`
`
`
`DAVID M. SCHWARTZ
`
`it, and then our advertising agency, whoever they

`
`were at the time -— I do remember who they were at
`

`
`they probably turned it into English.

`
`And looking at Exhibit 1, which bears the

`

`

`
`What it says, it means it acts like a tape

`
`like a cassette deck.
`
`You plug a couple of
`
`wires into it from your radio or a microphone, and
`
`you record a radio show or copy an LP record onto
`
`this machine.
`
`It's a recording deck.
`
`The "any source" refers to whatever audio
`
`source you happen to have at hand.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`And can you read the second bulleted line.
`
`"Digital recording from remote
`
`databases:
`
`'telerecording.'".
`
`And what did you mean by that?
`
`Well,
`
`I don't know if we invented this term.

`
`Telerecording means to take digital audio
`
`data from some place outside of your home and record

`it onto your local disk drive.
`
`Q.
`
`And now directing your attention to the
`
`bottom of the page, are you familiar with what is
`
`pictured there?
`
`The picture?
`
`Yes.
`
`That's probably the second or third
`
`prototype of the DSP 1000.
`
`Q.
`
`And how do you know it's the second or third
`
`prototype?
`
`A.

`
`of the finished—looking ones.
`
`Q.

`Q.
`
`Okay.
`
`Do you know when this document was
`
`produced?
`
`A.
`
`Well, it says "Copyright 1984" at the
`
`bottom,
`
`so I'm pretty sure it was produced in 1984.
`
`Q.
`
`Does that comport with your memory of when

`
`MR. BERL: You'll want to hold on to

`
`Do you recognize this document?
`
`Yes,
`
`I do.
`
