This made the construction of a mainly analog / discrete component modem impossible, especially when trying to achieve compatibility with older protocols using completely different modulation schemes.

If either the player did not support digital audio tracks ( common in older players ), or the disc did not include digital audio tracks at all ( uncommon for a disc which is mastered with an AC-3 track ), the only remaining option was to fall back to a monophonic presentation of the left analog audio track.

However, older NTSC LDs made before 1984 ( such as the original DiscoVision discs ) only have two analog audio tracks.

An older definition, still used in communication engineering literature, is wireless digital transmission technologies, i. e. microwave and radio frequency communication standards where analog information signals as well as digital data are carried by a digital signal, by means of a digital modulation method.

In older analog networks, this was required so that repeater amplifiers could be inserted in long-distance links.

At the same time, the speech oriented audio compression used in GSM actually meant that data rates using a traditional modem connected to the phone would have been even lower than with older analog systems.

While some older digital camcorders record video on Microdrives and size-reduced DVD-RAM or DVD-Rs, as of 2011 most recent camcorders record video on flash memory devices and small hard disks, using MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 formats.

This technique was used on older JVC camcorders so they could use a B / W screen yet still display colour.

JLIP jacks are now fitted to all new JVC camcorders, some older models, some VCRs and peripheral devices, like their new video printer.

Besides fMRI, another example of technology allowing relatively older brain imaging techniques to be even more helpful is the ability to combine different techniques to get one brain map.

Neural imaging studies show decreased left-prefrontal cortex activity when words and images are presented to older subjects than with younger subjects, but roughly equal activity when assessing semantic connections.

The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display ( TFT-LCD ) thin panel, while older monitors use a cathode ray tube ( CRT ) about as deep as the screen size.

Currently available scanners typically use charge-coupled device ( CCD ) or contact image sensor ( CIS ) as the image sensor, whereas older drum scanners use a photomultiplier tube as the image sensor.

Like the Oghuz Book of Dede Korkut, an older and anonymous Central Asian epic, the Turkish folklore that inspired Yunus Emre in his occasional use of tekerlemeler as a poetic device had been handed down orally to him and his contemporaries.

* Label, an older term for a long thin device, in particular, a ruler as on an astrolabe, circumferentor, or similar instrument

In older NOR devices not supporting bad block management, the software or device driver controlling the memory chip must correct for blocks that wear out, or the device will cease to work reliably.

* In the episode iDon't Wanna Fight of the Nickelodeon TV show iCarly, Carly's older brother Spencer builds a Rube Goldberg device to feed his goldfish.

In computing, the Windows Driver Model ( WDM ) — also known at one point as the Win32 Driver Model — is a framework for device drivers that was introduced with Windows 98 and Windows 2000 to replace VxD, which was used on older versions of Windows such as Windows 95 and Windows 3. 1, as well as the Windows NT Driver Model.

The English poet John Masefield, following in the footsteps of peers like Rudyard Kipling, seized upon shanties as a nostalgic literary device, and included them along with much older, non-shanty sea songs in his 1906 collection A Sailor ’ s Garland.

Like the SD and SDHC, the miniSDHC card has the same form factor as the older miniSD card but the HC card requires HC support built into the host device.

By the 5th millennium BC, the peoples in Nabta Playa had fashioned the world's earliest known astronomical device, 1000 years older than, but comparable to, Stonehenge.

Consumer and commercial equipment differ in a number of ways ; commercial gear is generally ruggedized, with metal cases, and often has only a few specific frequencies programmed into it ( often, though not always, with a computer or other outside programming device ; older units can simply swap crystals ), since a given business or public safety agent must often abide by a specific frequency allocation.

* Creative NOMAD Explorer-Software included with older NOMAD models and used to transfer music and data to the device.

In older organs, the organ builder made the decision as to what registration was employed by the Sforzando device.

In older video cameras, before the mid to late 1980s, a video camera tube or pickup tube was used instead of a charge-coupled device ( CCD ) for converting an optical image into an electrical signal.

In older machines this was a pneumatic device called a Ritchie whistle which sounds when oxygen pressure is 38 psi descending.

A hush kit is a device for reducing noise from an engine ; most commonly the term refers to devices which reduce noise emissions from low-bypass turbofan engines, as fitted to older commercial aircraft ( see below for examples ).
