Data Compression

What is data compression?

The process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original represenaion would use.

What is a data compression ratio?

Also known as Compression Power, Data Compression Ratio is used to qualify the reduction in data-representation size produced by a data compression algorithm.

Why is data compression an important technique for the online world?

Compression is an important part of the online world because it shows how compressed an image/video is, it is how clear an image is.

What is the difference between Lossy and Lossless data compression?

Lossy image compression is used in digital cameras to increase capacities with thw minimal degredation of picture quality.

Which method offers the greatest compression ratio?

Loseless basically offers the greatesr ratiob compression-it is also the most popular.

Digital Video

1. What are some advantages of digital video?
One advantage of using digital video is that it is farely easy to edit and upload onto youtube or ipod.

Broadband

1. Broadband: Using signals over a wide range in high-capacity telecommunications

2. Mega-bits per second

3.

4. What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up?
Below a mega-bit per second

5. What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?

Dial-up would take days. Broadband is alot faster...
