11 Technical Terms

Band width

In the daily jargon of digital technology this is the quantity of data which can be transferred by a certain medium in a certain period of time.

Example - the internet connection provides a band width of 4 megabits per second.

Example - the audio file has a band width of 128 kilobits per second.

Bit (binary digit)

Measurement unit for data quantities. Whereby 1 bit is the smallest imaginable data quantity which, for example, can be portrayed as a binary digit. Larger data quantities are always whole-number multiples of 1 bit.

Bit rate

The band width which is required for the transport of contents.

Byte

A group of 8 bits. In order to avoid the usage of very large figure levels groups are defined in bytes.

A procedure and/or program which codes and decodes data or signals. It is used for the compilation of digital data with audio, image and video contents. It consists of two parts - the coder and a decoder.

Firmware

Firmware is software which mostly contains elementary functions for the control of the appliance, input and output routines, occasionally also more comprehensive functions for work tasks with memory, CPU and other components.

Hardware

Physical components such as the casing and the nuts and bolts of appliances.

MP3

A popular codec for audio files. It is most frequently used for domestic applications.

Software

Application which runs on an appliance of a PC. Software can be frequently updated in order to extend functionality.
