Abstract

Circuitry usable in a tamper protected recording system for characterizing audio signals at the time of recording including a filter for selecting a portion of the audio signal, a zero crossing detector to detect zero crossings, a threshold detector to determine when the threshold of the detector is satisfied, a first microprocessor for counting the zero crossing detections for successive time intervals and determining for each of the time intervals whether the threshold was satisfied and a second microprocessor for converting the counts and threshold information into data signals that can be recorded with the audio signal.
