The conversion of signals from one protocol to another e.g. H.323 to H.320
Converting a data stream from one format to another, such as MPEG 1 to H.263, or an H.320 videoconferencing session to H.323. [Source: York Telecom
The conversion of video signals with different Color TV System s but with the same scanning standard, for example PAL to SECAM or SECAM to PAL. Often used in North America (particularly Quebec) to mean Standards Conversion.
Dynamic or static conversion of one markup language to another. The most common example would be from HTML to WML . A useful capability in the future might be from WML to VoiceXML .
The conversion of data in one compressed format to another compressed format. For instance, converting a JPEG-compressed image to its Cell-encoded counterpart is called transcoding. Transcoding an image usually involves decoding it and then reencoding it.
Conversion of character data from one character set to another.
(n.) The conversion of data in one compressed format to another compressed format. An example is converting a JPEG-compressed image to its cell-encoded counterpart.
The process of converting a media file or object from one format to another. Transcoding is often used to convert video formats (i.e., Beta to VHS, VHS to QuickTime, QuickTime to MPEG). But it is also used to fit HTML files and graphics files to the unique constraints of mobile devices and other Web-enabled products. These devices usually have smaller screen sizes, lower memory, and slower bandwidth rates. In this scenario, transcoding is performed by a transcoding proxy server or device, which receives the requested document or file and uses a specified annotation to adapt it to the client.
The process of converting media from one compressed digital format to another.
Process that some portable audio devices perform to convert audio files from an unsupported bit rate to a supported bit rate.
A process that modifies a bit stream before or after transmission to enable communications between different devices that support different codecs. Transcoding is required, for example, when an incoming voice stream is compressed (by means of a codec) to save bandwidth, yet the local device does not support that particular type of compression. The transcoding service compresses and decompresses voice streams to match the endpoint device capabilities.
Audio transcoding is the conversion of one audio transmission format into another using various algorithms to achieve different audio quality levels at reduced bandwidth levels.
