While data reduction ( compression, be it lossy or lossless ) is a main goal of transform coding, it also allows other goals: one may represent data more accurately for the original amount of space – for example, in principle, if one starts with an analog or high-resolution digital master, an MP3 file of a given size should provide a better representation than a raw uncompressed audio in WAV or AIFF file of the same size.

While subtractive synthesis can be applied to any source audio signal, the sound most commonly associated with the technique is that of analog synthesizers of the 1960s and 1970s, in which the harmonics of simple waveforms such as sawtooth, pulse or square waves are attenuated with a voltage-controlled resonant low-pass filter.

While digitization allows wideband voice on the same channel, the improved quality of a wider analog voice channel did not find a large market in the PSTN.

While a digital display can easily be extended in precision, the extra digits are of no value if not accompanied by care in the design and calibration of the analog portions of the multimeter.

While these techniques are possible in an analog filter, they are again considerably more difficult.

While analog transmission is the transfer of a continuously varying analog signal, digital communications is the transfer of discrete messages.

While originally designed to handle logic-level digital signals, a TTL inverter can be biased as an analog amplifier.

* While the power is off, analog signature analysis, power-off testing.

While its fellow Canadian broadcasters converted most of their transmitters to digital by the Canadian digital television transition deadline of August 31, 2011, CBC converted only about half of the analog transmitters in mandatory to digital ( 15 of 28 markets with CBC TV, and 14 of 28 markets with SRC ).

While the team considered the SCUMM interface revolutionary at the time, LucasArts community manager Brooks Brown noted that it is incompatible with an analog stick, which most consoles use.

While most major studios eventually began putting SDDS tracks on their releases ( Universal exclusively supported DTS until 1998, and Paramount and Fox placed SDDS tracks on only their biggest releases until 2001-2002 ), most independent films only came with Dolby Digital tracks, leaving many SDDS-equipped theaters playing analog sound in otherwise state-of-the-art auditoriums.

While NTSC and most other analog television systems also use a vestigial sideband technique, the unwanted sideband is filtered much more effectively in ATSC 8VSB transmissions.

While 1960s-era analog synthesizers such as the Moog used a number of independent electronic modules connected by patch cables, later analog synthesizers such as the Minimoog integrated them into single units, eliminating patch cords in favour of integrated signal routing systems.

While potentially lacking the physical presence of desirable analog sound generation, real voltage manipulation, knobs, sliders, cables, and LEDs, software modular synthesizers offer the infinite variations and visual patching at a more affordable price and in a compact form factor.

While WGN-TV ’ s analog transmitter is atop the John Hancock Center and thus engineers were almost immediately able to thwart the video hacker by changing the studio-to-transmitter frequency, WTTW's transmitter was atop the Sears Tower ( now Willis Tower ) which made it harder to stop the hacker before almost two minutes of the interruption.

While radio signals on 1G networks are analog, radio signals on 2G networks are digital.

; Digital synthesis: While it was possible to create a music workstation with digitally controlled analog synthesis modules, few companies did this, instead seeking to produce new sounds and capabilities based on digital synthesis ( early units were based on FM synthesis or sample playback ).

While the concept of CV ( Control Voltage ) was fairly standard on analog synths, the implementation was not.

While designed as a family of digital logic, it was not unusual to see TTL chips in analog circuits like Schmitt triggers.

While this usage is technically inaccurate, it originates with the previously proper use of the term to describe that part of the process involving digitization of analog sources, such as printed pictures and brochures, before uploading to target databases.

While the output of a VGA or Super VGA video card is analog, the internal calculations the card performs in order to arrive at these output voltages are entirely digital.

While all full-power stations have been forced to turn off their analog signals, and most low-power TV stations therefore have been forced to digital as the de facto standard, the vast majority of stations do not transmit a mobile-TV signal, which will leave viewers with these devices unable to receive most broadcasts.

While Capcom's first product was the coin-operated Little League from July 1983, its first real video game, the arcade title Vulgus, was released in May 1984.

While low-quality at first, consumer digital video increased rapidly in quality, first with the introduction of playback standards such as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 ( adopted for use in television transmission and DVD media ), and then the introduction of the DV tape format allowing recording direct to digital data and simplifying the editing process, allowing non-linear editing systems ( NLE ) to be deployed cheaply and widely on desktop computers with no external playback / recording equipment needed.

While the term " impi " has become synonymous with the Zulu nation in international popular culture, it appears in various video games such as Civilization III, Civilization IV: Warlords and Civilization: Revolution, where the Impi is the unique unit for the Zulu faction with Shaka as their leader and also as an appearance as unique unit of the Bantu nation in Rise of Nation ( Zulus are among many tribes who make up the Bantu people ).

While other arcade video games such as Computer Space came before it, Pong was one of the first video games to reach mainstream popularity.

While RTP carries the media streams ( e. g., audio and video ), RTCP is used to monitor transmission statistics and quality of service ( QoS ) and aids synchronization of multiple streams.

While conceding that he saw no artistic merit in some violent video games, King also opined that such games reflect the violence that already exists in society, which would not be lessened by such a law, and would be redundant in light of the ratings system that already exists for video games.

While delay due to buffering is acceptable in video on demand scenarios, users of interactive applications such as video conferencing will experience a loss of fidelity if the delay that buffering contributes to exceeds 200 ms.

While a home video game also titled Street Fighter: The Movie was released for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn, it is not a port but a separately produced game based on the same premise.

** While waiting at a bus stop, Ralph Baer an inventor with Sanders Associates, writes a four-page document which lays out the basic principles for creating a video game to be played on a television: the beginning of a multi billion dollar industry.

While many video artists have been quick to adopt new technologies to their medium, Viola relies little on computer editing.

While the 3-voice sound chip and DAC were still present, Tandy video was dropped.

While the other " Spider-Friends " perform so well that Jameson triples their route, Spidey finally beats the level boss that had been blocking his progress in the video game — that boss being a giant, pistol-wielding Ms.

While the BIOS video interface routines were adequate for rudimentary output, they were inefficient ; they did not have " string " output ( only output by individual character ) and they inserted delay periods to compensate for CGA hardware " snow " ( a display artifact of CGA cards produced when writing directly to screen memory )-- an especially bad artifact since they were called by IRQs, thus making multitasking very difficult.

While arcade games were still relatively popular during the 1990s, this type of media saw a continuous decline in popularity in the Western world when video game consoles made the transition from 2D to 3D.

While the video signal can easily hide the head-switching point in the invisible vertical retrace section of the signal, so that the exact switching point is not very important, the same is obviously not possible with a continuous audio signal that has no inaudible sections.

While in Sydney, the band shot the video for their next single, " Warning ", from March 7 until March 11.

While 12-volt audio and video systems are also used, marketed, or manufactured for marine, aviation, and buses, and even applications outside of automotive use like slot panels for demo models in stores prior to purchase, this article focuses on cars as the most common application.

While the system is far too vast to allow complete real-time monitoring, it stores the video data for later usage in order to provide possible evidence in criminal cases.

While starring on Full House, the Olsens also began appearing ( as separate characters ) in films for video and television.

While an off-air recording of this performance was heavily bootlegged on video for decades, the master tape was later located and subsequently released on DVD as Circa 72 2006.

While only adequate technically, the video captured the energy and playfulness of Springsteen and the E Street Band in concert, and was the first such introduction many casual fans had.

While many technology stocks were eventually destroyed in the dot-com crash in the early 2000s, the stock prices of the video game publishers recovered as a group ; several of the larger publishers such as EA and Take2 achieved historical highs in the mid-2000s.
