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 ...

What’s the cost of an underused hardware resource? If you spec your microcontroller to have a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) but only require 8 bits, you’ve paid for extra performance that ...

Milpitas, Calif.—Linear Technology Corp. has introduced the LTC2636, a family of 12-bit, 10-bit, and 8-bit octal digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that integrate a precision reference in tiny 4mm x ...

Milpitas, Calif.—Linear Technology Corp. has introduced the LTC2634 quad 12-bit, 10-bit and 8-bit rail-to-rail digital-to-analog converters (DACs), which integrate a precision reference in tiny 3mm x ...

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 ...

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 ...

GoPro has just made its yearly camera announcement, and it's a big one. With 10-bit colour and built-in 360-degree horizon levelling, the HERO11 Black and new HERO11 Mini look set to push the bar for ...

Part 1 of this column (ED Online 18899) showed how designers can use additive dither and oversampling to increase the resolution of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In this edition, we will ...
