The ratio between the uncompressed size and the compressed size of data. It measures how much smaller the compressed data is compared to the original.

A type of data compression where the original data can be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed version. No information is lost.

A data compression technique that replaces sequences of repeating characters or pixel colors with a single code representing the repetition count and the character or color value.

A method of data compression that achieves significant size reduction by discarding some data, making it impossible to perfectly recover the original information.

The process of converting compressed data back into its original form. It can be lossless or lossy, depending on the type of compression used.

A common file format that uses lossless compression to store data efficiently. It's widely used for archiving purposes.

An open-source tool for compressing and decompressing data, commonly used in Linux systems. It utilizes lossless compression.

A type of lossless compression that is often applied after lossy compression to reduce the size of already compressed data. It aims to further optimize the compressed data.

A type of compression that focuses on reducing file size while potentially losing some data, but in a way that is usually not noticeable to humans.

It is used primarily for images, videos, and music, where minor data loss is less critical than file size reduction.

The goal is to reduce file size without significantly impacting the visual or auditory experience.

This is because they contain a lot of details, including subtle variations in color and sound, that can be reduced without being easily noticed.

A widely used image format that employs lossy compression to significantly reduce file size.

It helps reduce the overall data needed for storage and transmission.

It's better to have an original, uncompressed version, called a master file, that can be used to create lossy copies later.

They match the compression techniques with how humans perceive images and sounds, making the data loss less noticeable.

A system that allows encoding and decoding data; it consists of an encoder and a decoder.

A conversion of digital data from one encoded format to another.

A collection of pre-installed or downloadable software components that enable a device to handle various media formats.

A graphic representation of a character's shape. A single character can have multiple glyphs.

A collection of glyphs of a single size and style belonging to a particular typeface family. For example, "Arial Regular 12pt".

A family of many characters, often with many type sizes and styles. For example, "Arial" contains Regular, Bold, Italic etc.

The spacing between pairs of characters. It helps to adjust the visual spacing between letters.

The vertical space between lines of text.

A visual element that can be used to increase text legibility and make it more visually appealing.

Fonts that do not have serifs at the ends of letters.

Fonts that are designed for a specific purpose or style and may have a unique and artistic look.

The conversion of continuous analogue signals to discrete digital data.

A non-destructive method in digital audio processing that allows manipulating the audio file without altering the original data. It's like making a temporary copy of a painting, but you have the original safely tucked away.

A component in audio systems responsible for converting digital signals back into analogue signals, allowing playback through speakers.

A device for recording audio digitally using magnetic tape.

The removal of unwanted silent portions or extraneous noises from the beginning and end of an audio recording.

A software program that allows recording, editing, and manipulating digital audio files.

The act of merging multiple audio tracks into a single file.

A specific type of audio processing that involves reducing the size of audio files while maintaining a certain level of audio quality.

Using large font sizes for headings, drop caps, initial caps, and anti-aliased fonts can help make text more visually appealing and easier to read.

Text should be kept to a minimum in multimedia to avoid overwhelming the user. It's better to use other elements like pictures and graphics to convey information.

Text should occupy less than half of the screen space in multimedia design. This ensures a balanced and visually appealing presentation.

Website text should be clear and informative, helping visitors understand the content. It's more effective than using meaningless graphics.

Website loading speed is crucial for user experience. Visitors may leave if a page takes more than 8 seconds to load.

Attractive images and informative text are crucial for website success. Informative text often attracts more visitors than graphics alone.

Informative text on websites can boost search engine traffic and conversions. It helps users find the information they are looking for.

Multimedia presentations should strive to be both visually engaging and informative. This balance can be achieved by combining text with other elements like images, graphics, and diagrams.
