Apple Inc., formerly Apple Computer, Inc., is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino, California, that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers.
In audio, circuitry or software that limits signal amplitude to a user-defined maximum. Compare level compression.
Industry:Software; Computer
(1) A storage device or a portion of a storage device that is formatted to contain folders and files of a particular file system. A hard disk, for example, may be divided into several volumes (also known as partitions) (2) In psychoacoustics, the average perceived loudness of a sound. Compare level.
Industry:Software; Computer
A difference, typically unintentional and undesired, between the signals on the input and output of an audio device. Commonly measured types of distortion include harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion, quantization distortion, and jitter. Intentional differences between input and output signals, such as level or equalization differences, are not described as distortion. Compare noise.
Industry:Software; Computer
(1) In electronics, the amount of opposition a circuit presents to an AC (alternating current) signal at a given frequency. Impedance includes both a resistive (frequency-independent) and a reactive (frequency-dependent) component. (2) In acoustics, the ratio of average sound pressure to particle velocity over a given surface area and at a given frequency.
Industry:Software; Computer
A term now used to describe the capacity or amount of traffic (data, voice or video) a certain communications medium is capable of accommodating.
Industry:Electrical equipment
Un formato de archivo audio digital comprimido de alta calidad con la mitad del tamaño de los archivos sin comprimir.
Industry:Entertainment
Also Known As: Sequential Couleur avec Mémoire, Système Electronique Couleur avec. The standard for TV/video display in France, the Middle East, much of Eastern Europe, and some African countries. Delivers 625 lines (formerly 819 lines) of resolution at 50 half-frames per second. See also NTSC and PAL.
Industry:Entertainment
The process of reducing the range of audio signals in a recording, thus decreasing the size of the file. MP3 compression eliminates frequencies less audible to the human ear, though a bit rate below 128Kbps produces a discernible loss in sound quality.
Industry:Entertainment
Short for MPEG-1, audio layer 3. A form of digital audio compression that reduces the size of audio files without drastically compromising sound quality. MP3s reduce unnecessary data that is less audible to the human ear. These files end with .mp3.
