Any audio source that has been converted to a digital form. CD-quality audio is usually the standard that it refers to, that is, audio sampled at 16-bit resolution and 44.1 kHz sample rate. This standard refers to the Red Book standard in the audio industry.
Audio that has been encoded in a digital form for processing, storage, or transmission
Analog sound waves stored in a digital form; each digital audio file can be decomposed into a series of samples.
This refers to the coaxial and optical outputs on the rear of the player that send the digital audio stream (either Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM) to the amplifier.
Sound represented as binary data.
Red Book specifies CD-Digital Audio as being sampled at 44.1KHz, 44,100 samples per second. Analog audio signals are converted into digital samples, with each sample being assigned a value in a range of 65,536 possible values (16 bits).
The representation of a waveform with bits of information that are discreet (non-continuous) in both time and amplitude. See PCM and Analog.
These are audio signals that have been encoded as a series of binary digits. In this format they can be captured and manipulated in a computer program.
A means of storing and transmitting sound using binary digits to replicate the audio waveforms.
Audio that is presented by binary data.
A direct recording of any type of sound stored in a data file on a computer. They will, in theory, sound exactly the same on any playback equipment. Digital Audio includes Waves, MP3s, RealAudio, AU, AIFF, and VOC files.
Refers to the reproduction and transmission of sound stored in a digital format. This includes CDs as well as any sound files stored on a computer. In contrast, the telephone system (but not ISDN) is based on an analog representation of sound.
Audio signals which have been translated into binary notation.
Sound recorded and transmitted in a binary format.
Audio data that has been converted to digital form.
the numeric representation of sound. Typically used as the means for storing sound information in a computer or sampler.
Sounds that have been converted to digital information.
Method of encoding analog audio signals into digital bits of information typically using pulse code modulation resulting in high-quality signals that suffer from very little distortion and noise compared to analog signals, are easy to record and edit without degradation, are easy to transmit and record, and can be modified or adjusted quickly and without signal degradation.
The storage and processing of audio signals digitally. It usually requires at least 16 bits of linear coding to represent each digital sample and is normally referred to Red Book or 44.1 KHz audio in the computer industry.
Each sample is coded using 16 bits.
Digital Audio' is a digital signal representing audio. Broadly speaking, digital audio encompasses audio whenever it is in digital form. This includes analog-to-digital conversion, digital-to-analog conversion, storage, and transmission.
