Encoding : Video & Audio

In computer technology, encoding is the process of applying a specific code, such as letters, symbols and numbers, to data for conversion into an equivalent cipher. In electronics, encoding refers to analog to digital conversion

The name “Decoder” means to translate or decode coded information from one format into another, so a digital decoder transforms a set of digital input signals into an equivalent decimal code at its output.

Digital audio and video has a sample rate, bit depth and bit rate. They are usually compressed to reduce file size and stream more efficiently over networks. Compression can be lossy or lossless.
