Although such a conversion can be prone to loss, most modern audio systems use this approach as the techniques of digital signal processing are much more powerful and efficient than analog domain signal processing.

Slide rules and nomographs are the simplest, while naval gunfire control computers and large hybrid digital / analog computers were among the most complicated.

On slower or congested links ( 622 Mbit / s and below ), ATM does make sense, and for this reason most asymmetric digital subscriber line ( ADSL ) systems use ATM as an intermediate layer between the physical link layer and a Layer 2 protocol like PPP or Ethernet.

In most areas, D-AMPS is no longer offered and has been replaced by more advanced digital wireless networks.

All AMPS carriers have converted most of their consumer base to a digital standard such as CDMA2000 or GSM and continue to do so at a rapid pace.

After that point, however, most cellular companies were eager to shut down AMPS and use the remaining channels for digital services.

The most common version of the Sparrow today, the AIM-7M, entered service in 1982 and featured a new inverse monopulse seeker ( matching the capabilities of Skyflash ), active radar fuse, digital controls, improved ECM resistance, and better low-altitude performance.

The byte () is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications that most commonly consists of eight bits.

* Domestic: a fairly modern digital cable trunk line now connects switching centers in most of the regions ; the others are connected by digital microwave radio relay

To receive newer digital cable most TVs require a " digital television adapter " ( set top box ) called a cable converter, connected between the incoming cable and the TV, that processes digital signals.

One of the standards available for digital cable telephony, PacketCable, seems to be the most promising and able to work with the Quality of Service ( QOS ) demands of traditional analog Plain old telephone service ( POTS ) service.

In addition to the direct applications ( mp3 players or computers ), digitally compressed audio streams are used in most video DVDs ; digital television ; streaming media on the internet ; satellite and cable radio ; and increasingly in terrestrial radio broadcasts.

A broadcaster may opt to use a standard-definition ( SDTV ) digital signal instead of an HDTV signal, because current convention allows the bandwidth of a DTV channel ( or " multiplex ") to be subdivided into multiple digital subchannels, ( similar to what most FM radio stations offer with HD Radio ), providing multiple feeds of entirely different television programming on the same channel.

Among the most familiar to people are digital cable and digital satellite.

It is most commonly used in computing and electronics, especially where real-world information is converted to binary numeric form as in digital audio and digital photography.

The Dragon uses analogue joysticks, unlike most systems of the time which used less versatile but cheaper digital systems.

As of 2009, the most common acquisition medium for digitally projected features is 35 mm film scanned and processed at 2K ( 2048 × 1080 ) or 4K ( 4096 × 2160 ) via digital intermediate.

:* General Assessment: digital fixed-line network in most major urban areas and good mobile coverage

The most notable competitor of the Britannica among CD / DVD-ROM digital encyclopaedias was Encarta, now discontinued, a modern, multimedia encyclopaedia that incorporated three print encyclopaedias: Funk & Wagnalls, Collier's and the New Merit Scholar.

Under the direction of the Cinematographer or Director of Photography, the DIT will make adjustments to the multitude of variables available in most professional digital cameras to creatively or technically manipulate the resulting image.

JPEG / Exif is the most common image format used by digital cameras and other photographic image capture devices ; along with JPEG / JFIF, it is the most common format for storing and transmitting photographic images on the World Wide Web.

Additionally, most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ( UAVs ) and submersible Remotely Operated Vehicles ( ROVs ) require at least one joystick to control either the vehicle, the on-board cameras, sensors and manipulators.

Since the 1890s, Thomas Edison owned most of the major American patents relating to motion picture cameras.

:* Polymer properties, synthesis, and characterization, for a specialized understanding of how polymers behave, how they are made, and how they are characterized ; exciting applications of polymers include liquid crystal displays ( LCDs, the displays found in most cell phones, cameras, and iPods ), novel photovoltaic devices based on semiconductor polymers ( which, unlike the traditional silicon solar panels, are flexible and cheap to manufacture, albeit with lower efficiency ), and membranes for room-temperature fuel cells ( as proton exchange membranes ) and filtration systems in the environmental and biomedical fields

Later filmmakers have pointed out that the only cameras available to Flaherty at the time were both large and immobile, making it impossible to effectively capture most interior shots or unstructured exterior scenes without significantly modifying the environment and subject action.

Current webcams and mobile phones with cameras are the most miniaturized commercial forms of such technology.

It occurs when using a photographic flash very close to the camera lens ( as with most compact cameras ), in ambient low light.

Numerous production difficulties, including an outbreak of influenza and malfunctioning cameras, combined with Peckinpah's growing problems with alcohol, resulted in one of the most troubled productions of his career.

Nowadays most such shutters are manufactured from cheaper aluminium ( though some high-end cameras use materials such as carbon-fibre and Kevlar ).

Another 35 mm camera system that used a rotary shutter, was the Robot Royal cameras, most of which were rangefinder 35 mm cameras.

Mrs. Harding even coached her husband on the proper way to wave to newsreel cameras to make the most of coverage.

The angular size of the central bright portion ( radius to first null of the Airy disk ) of the image diffracted by a circular aperture, a measure most commonly used for telescopes and cameras, is:

The show pioneered many of the most important investigative journalism techniques, including re-editing interviews, hidden cameras, and " gotcha " visits to the home or office of an investigative subject.

Today, the professional industry tends to use 16 mm cameras from Aaton and Arri, most notably the Aaton xTera, Aaton XTRprod, Arriflex 16SR3, and Arriflex 416.

Green is currently used as a backdrop more than any other color because image sensors in digital video cameras are most sensitive to green, due to the bayer pattern allocating more pixels to the green channel, mimicking the human eye's increased sensitivity to green light.

Relative sizes of sensors used in most current digital cameras.

), and most usually with the presence of a respected notary that knows the involved parties, the signing often happens in a building which has security cameras and other forms of identification and physical security.

One of the most useful post-construction evaluation tools has been the use of thermography using digital thermal imaging cameras for a formal quantitative scientific energy audit.

Similarly, most video screens are not capable of displaying the range of brightnesses ( dynamic range ) that can be captured by typical electronic cameras.

The sRGB color space standard used with most cameras, PCs, and printers does not use a simple power-law nonlinearity as above, but has a decoding gamma value near 2. 2 over much of its range, as shown in the plot to the right.

None of the newsreel captured the initial signs of disaster as most cameras were focused on the ground crew at the start of the fire.
