Compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by removing redundancy and irrelevancy. Redundancy occurs when data is sent when it’s not needed. Irrelevancy frequently occurs in audio and ...

Audio, video and data distribution can be reduced to one issue — channel capacity. The function of compression is to reduce digitized audio and video to data rates that can be supported by a channel; ...

Video compression was one of the more ubiquitous topics at last month’s NAB Show. Perhaps equally ubiquitous was 4K and 8K. Seldom was one of either topic discussed without reference to the other.

This bit rate may at first glance may seem high, but it's half the bit rate that DTS supports and less than 6% of the original, nearly 14-Mbps bit rate. Remember, too, that I neither generated ...

In digital video compression, using 10 bits to compress the color information in a pixel. Even though most pixels are only eight bits, the extra two bits in the compression process provides for higher ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have proposed a new data compression technique, applied at an object level, which is claimed to considerably boost performance across all ...
