20

20,000

hertz a human ear can detect

New cards
21

sampling rate

how many times per second we sample the amplitude of the sound wave

New cards
22

a more accurate reproduction

a greater sampling rate results in what

New cards
23

bit depth

the number of bits used to encode each sample

New cards
24

16 (65,000) or 24 (16,000,000)

most audio encoding schemes use how many bits

New cards
25

Vector, Lossless

New cards
33

This extension is Lossless compression

New cards
34

computer driven and lossless compression

Vectors are what and what

New cards
35

PNG

Raster, Lossless improvement to GIF

New cards
36

Vector

SVG and EPS

New cards
37

compression ratio

how much compression schemes reduce the storage requirements of the data

New cards
38

Significant saving of space

if the commonly used characters are less bits, what happens

New cards
39

uncompressed data/compressed data

how do you calculate compression ratio

New cards
40

Lossless Compression

No information is lost in the compression and its possible to exactly reproduce that original data.

New cards
41

Lossy Compression

Data is compressed in a way that does not fully guarantee all of the information in the original data can be fully and completely recreated

New cards
42

MP3

Lossy Compression

New cards
43

What does Lossy compression allow for

Allows for higher compression ratios as they give up small inaccuracies undetectable by the human eye.

New cards
44

pitch

highness or lowness of a sound

New cards
45

digitized

digital signals are created from sampling an analog signal

New cards
46

New cards
47

sequential circuit

contain feedback loops in which the output of a gate is fed back as input to an earlier gate

New cards
48

Memory units

Sequential circuits are used to build what

New cards
49

transistor

An electronic device that can be in an OFF state, which does not allow electricity to flow, or in an ON state, in which electricity can pass unimpeded; a transistor is a solid-state device that has not mechanical or moving parts

New cards
50
