This software is based on SLAB v5.8.1 released under the NASA Open Source Agreement Version 1.3. System Requirements slab3d runs under Windows 2000 and higher. For low-latency audio output, slab3d supports ASIO and DirectSound sound device drivers. See your sound device documentation for information on obtaining and installing these drivers. slab3d is developed using the ASIO SDK and the DirectSound SDK. To obtain the ASIO SDK, see www.steinberg.net under Support | 3rd Party Developers. For DirectX information, see www.microsoft.com/directx and msdn.microsoft.com/directx. If executing a slab3d application reports a missing DLL, you most likely require a more thorough version of the "DirectX End-User Runtime" (see the Microsoft Download Center at www.microsoft.com/downloads). Installation slab3d is distributed in a ZIP archive (.zip). To install, download the ZIP file and unzip to any location. Multiple versions of slab3d can be installed on the same computer. To finish installation, run the SLABScape application from the bin\ directory. This sets a few registry keys and prompts for the creation of a Start Menu folder. These settings are also available via the "slab3d Registry Settings" dialog under the "slab3d" menu. IMPORTANT - these settings are relative to the installation directory; they will need to be reset if the slab3d directory is moved. SLABScape is also the main demo application. To start rendering 3D sound, press the [S] toolbar button. More information is available at the slab3d home page: http://slab3d.sonisphere.com The home page and slab3d documentation are included in the doc\ directory. The home page can be used as a start page to all slab3d documentation. slab3d release contents: slab3d\ slab3d installation directory bin\ applications and plugins g*.dll generator plugins r*.dll render plugins beacon.scn Beacon demo Scene file beacon.scp Beacon demo Scape file mixer.* Mixer render plugin demo and test files mixscript?.sls slabcon script files slabscript.scn slabscript demo Scene file slabscript.scp slabscript demo Scape file slabscript.sls slabscript demo slabscript file SLABCall.exe VoIP call to slab3d application SLABScape.exe slab3d virtual acoustic environment SLABSound.exe sound device and file information utility SLABSurface.exe MIDI control surface application SLABWireDemo.exe slabwire library demo with OpenGL display doc\ documentation and offline home page ref\index.html SRAPI Reference Manual slabtools\index.html slabtools Reference Manual slabwire\index.html SLABWire Reference Manual user\slabuserman.htm slab3d User Manual index.html offline home page / doc table of contents hrtf\ Head Related Transfer Function databases jdm#.slh jdm.slh at # kHz rates jdm.slh default 44.1 kHz HRTF database jdm_he.slh SLABX HRIRs equal database jdm_ie.slh SLABX ITDs equal database jdmild.slh ILD database computed from jdm.slh slabimp.slh passthru impulse HRTF database slablat.slh SLABLatency HRTF database include\ srapi and slabwire header files lib\ libraries slabwmr.lib slabwire library (release) srapimr.lib srapi library (release) srapi_hrtf.res srapi default HRTF resource slabtools\ slab3d matlab tools src\ source code docmake\ documentation config files form320\ TMS320-based SLABForm gslab\ slab3d generator plugin gstk\ STK instruments generator plugin rmyplugin\ render plugin starter project rsar\ communications render plugin example rvbap\ unfinished VBAP render plugin SLABCall\ source SLABCallFile\ voip stress-test slabcom\ DIS ID and frequency polling demo slabcon\ srapi console app example SLABForm\ beamformer prototyping app SLABLatency\ latency measurement utility SLABScape\ source SLABSound\ source SLABSurface\ source slabw\ slabwire library slabwcon\ slabwire libresample test app SLABWireDemo\ source SLABX\ srapi example application srapi\ srapi library srapi_hrtf\ srapi default HRTF resource slab3d.sln Visual Studio Solution usrlib\ 3rd-party software jrtplib-3.3.0\ jvoip jthread-1.1.2\ jvoip jvoiplib-1.4.1\ jvoip libresample-0.1.3\ resampler library libsndfile-1_0_17\ libsndfile library (for jvoip) slabDISInterface\ DIS packet library traklib\ Polhemus Fastrak library cleandev.bat usrlib clean for development jvoip.sln jvoip build readme.txt 3rd-party software info wavs\ wave files and STK raw files clean.bat clean all script cleanrel.bat clean for release script cleanusr.bat usrlib clean all script NOSA.txt NASA Open Source Agreement readme.X.Y.Z.txt this file Joel D.
