The Lost Art of AV - Digital Signal Bandwidth

Bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path. Bandwidth may be characterized as network bandwidth, data bandwidth, or digital bandwidth. In this video we help you understand how Bit Rate, Bit Depth and Signal Compression helps determine how much bandwidth is required.

Bit Rate - The number of bits per second that can be transmitted along a digital network.

Bit Depth - Bit Depth is either the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel, in a bitmapped image or video framebuffer, or the number of bits used for each color component of a single pixel.

Signal Compression - In signal processing, data compression, source coding, or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy
