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; ...

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 ...

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.

In the video world, latency is the amount of time between the instant a frame is captured and the instant that frame is displayed. Low latency is a design goal for any system where there is real-time ...

Without algorithms that compress data to encode information into fewer bits, hard drives would clog up and Internet traffic would slow to a snail's pace. Now, a group of physicists in Canada has shown ...
