White Paper Provides Audio Compression Algorithm Overview
Digital compression algorithms are designed to produce a digital representation of an audio signal that, when decoded and reproduced, sounds the same as the original signal and uses a minimum of digital information (bit-rate) for the compressed (or encoded) representation. This white paper, “Audio Compression Algorithms,” by Ambika Ammal discusses different compression algorithms as well as basic principles of design. The utility of compression in real life will be covered from the customer perspective. Download this white paper today.
