Video file formats and settings can be pretty complicated, and it’s all about trading off file sizes against quality. 8-bit video capture keeps file sizes smaller and is pretty much a universal common ...

The rise in popularity of 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) devices across the embedded community comes as no surprise. These function-rich devices suit an array of different applications, which explains ...

I’ve been doing some transcoding of videos from x264 to x265NVENC. So far some of the results have gotten really good compression ratios but I end up being disappointed by a lot of the banding that ...

Before we dig into core architectures and other technical details, it's important to convey some general guidelines and context. In my college days, I remember taking a test and being so intent on ...

We present a 5 MSample/s current steering digital-to-analog converter which has a programmable resolution between 8 bit, 10 bit and 12 bit. A selectable 2-D unary matrix architecture and a resolution ...

Color depth and chroma subsampling are probably two of the most misunderstood aspects of digital video. Trying to educate someone about them usually devolves into a simple “more is better” conclusion, ...

Game systems from the 8-bit and 16-bit era weren't exactly the graphical powerhouses that modern consoles, PCs and even phones have evolved into. But there are many other aspects including good ...
