Definición

  • Compression refers to the process of storing information in a manner that uses less space than usual; compressed files provide the same basic amount of data, audio, and/or video information as the original files, but use fewer bits of storage. Current standards of communication, such as the widespread use of 56.6 kbps modems, necessitate the use of compression techniques for experiencing the audio and video content of the Internet.
