Compression [/purple]

“This is a process of reducing the size of a file ( here an image) to the smallest size possible without pronounced changes in its quality.”

For instance, to store a 10 second clip of full motion video in your computer requires the transfer of an enormous amount data in a very short duration of time. This eats up valuable bandwidth (here the spectrum of data transfer).

To reproduce just one frame of digital video component video at 24 bits requires 1 Mb of computer data.

There are real time video compression algorithms such as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), MPEG (Motion Pictures Experts Group) now available to compress digital video.
