ADC
Analog to Digital Converter that converts analog sound to binary code form (digital information). (See also DAC , Modem and Video )

Multimedia Glossary
ADC
(Analog -to-DigitalConverter)
"recording" feature of sound cards that converts the analog/ sound waveforms to digital format, i.e. bits and bytes. This digital representation can then be stored, edited, processed and transferred between media. To playback sound files, the sound card uses a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). The ADC samples the audio at very fast intervals ("sampling rate"), producing a stream of snapshots. When played back by the DAC at the same pace, the samples are perceived as sound.

Aids Glossary
ADC
abbreviation,  AIDS Dementia Complex. deterioration of intellectual faculties, often accompanied by emotional disturbance. HIV is active in the brain (central nervous system) and can cause dementia, even in those with high CD4 counts and low viral loads. Treatment usually involves an anti-HIV drug -- such as AZT -- that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier.

AIDS dementia complex (adc¸ hiv-associated cogniti)
mental impairment with an organic cause that is due to HIV infection (i.e., not an opportunistic pathogen). Symptoms may include cognitive impairment (e.g., difficulty concentrating, memory loss), disorientation, mood and personality changes, speech and vision difficulties, psychomotor dysfunction (lack of coordination, incontinence) and paralysis. AIDS-related dementia typically affects people in the later stages of HIV disease. Early stages of the syndrome are referred to as HIV-associated minor cognitive/motor disorder.

Glossary of HIV/AIDS-Related Terms
AIDS DEMENTIA COMPLEX (ADC)
A degenerative neurological condition attributed to HIV infection, characterized by a group of clinical presentations including loss of coordination, mood swings, loss of inhibitions, and widespread cognitive dysfunctions. It is the most common central nervous system complication of HIV infection. Characteristically, it manifests itself after the patient develops major opportunistic infections or AIDS-related cancers. However, patients can also have this syndrome before these major systemic complications occur. The cause of ADC has not been determined exactly, but it may result from HIV infection of cells or inflammatory reactions to such infections.
