- A Main processor (DSP Sharc)
- 4 synthesis boards sites comprising the new MCAPS processors which replace the Harmonic Processors, with extended capacities.
- Analog input-outputs
However the DVS does not have a console, it is dependant on a PC editing software to which it is connected by serial port. It was considered to associate an analysis board, a console and a hard disk to it.
The DVS constitutes the test bench for Acxel II SAS under development. However Acxel II SAS could operate at an entirely stand alone manner and be connected if needed to a PC/MAC computer for edition requirements or be connected to a Grapher. Acxel II SAS preserves sites of synthesis units.
The DVS made it possible to identify a certain number of weaknesses and limits on the MCAPS processor mainly on its flexibility, which led to RPP processor.
