    Codec - Wikipedia

    • A codec is a computer hardware or software component that encodes or decodes a data stream or signal. Codec is a portmanteau of coder/decoder. In electronic communications, an endec is a device that acts as both an encoder and a decoder on a signal or data stream, and hence is a type of codec. Endec is a portmanteau of encoder/decoder. A coder or e… See more

    History

    Originally, in the mid-20th century, a codec was a hardware device that coded analog signals into digital form using See more

    Examples

    An audio codec converts analog audio signals into digital signals for transmission or encodes them for storage. A receiving device converts the digital signals back to analog form using an audio decoder for playback. A… See more

    Compression

    In addition to encoding a signal, a codec may also compress the data to reduce transmission bandwidth or storage space. Compression codecs are classified primarily into lossy codecs and lossless codecs. … See more

    Media codecs

    Two principal techniques are used in codecs, pulse-code modulation and delta modulation. Codecs are often designed to emphasize certain aspects of the media to be encoded. For example, a digital video (using a … See more

    What is the function of a codec?
    The primary function of a codec is transforming and packaging data for transmission over a network. Compression involves reducing the size of audio or video files by removing redundant or unnecessary data. Decompression reverses the compression process, using the compressed version to reconstruct the original audio or video data.
