An Overview of the Coherent Acoustics Coding System

Overview Coherent Acoustics is a digital audio compression algorithm designed for both professional and consumer applications. The algorithm is highly flexible, operating over multiple channels of audio, at sampling rates up to 192 kHz, with up to 24-bit resolution. This article outlines the overall design objectives of the algorithm, and describes the principal coding strategies employed to meet these goals. Specific functional components of the encoding and decoding algorithms are outlined in more detail, and the feature set of the coding system is summarized. Finally, the objective performance of the algorithm is illustrated using some simple test signals.

Windows Media 9: What's in the box?

As expected, Microsoft released new audio and video codecs, which, like MPEG-4, use a smaller file, or bit, size. Another audio enhancement lets content providers stream in 5.1 sound, which would improve the quality of sound for concerts or movies...

Quocirca's Straight Talking: The new age of web ads

But this is unlikely to happen because everyone loses out - the advertisers lose a channel, the IPTV providers need to charge more just to survive and the consumer can't afford the ad-free channels. With the telcos' customers driving average...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
