    Viewers only indirectly influence the video quality. In the mobile apps, users choose between "Auto", which adjusts resolution based on the internet connection, "High Picture Quality" which will prioritize playing high-quality video, "Data saver" which will sacrifice video quality in favor of low data usage and "Advanced" which lets the user ...

  3. Compression artifact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact

    A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes small enough to be stored within the desired disk space or transmitted ( streamed ) within the ...

  4. Video quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_quality

    Video quality is a characteristic of a video passed through a video transmission or processing system that describes perceived video degradation (typically compared to the original video). Video processing systems may introduce some amount of distortion or artifacts in the video signal that negatively impact the user's perception of the system.

  5. Distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion

    In signal processing, distortion is the alteration of the original shape (or other characteristic) of a signal.In communications and electronics it means the alteration of the waveform of an information-bearing signal, such as an audio signal representing sound or a video signal representing images, in an electronic device or communication channel.

  6. Clipping (audio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)

    Many electric guitar players intentionally overdrive their amplifiers (or insert a "fuzz box") to cause clipping in order to get a desired sound (see guitar distortion).. Some audiophiles believe that the clipping behavior of vacuum tubes with little or no negative feedback is superior to that of transistors, in that vacuum tubes clip more gradually than transistors (i.e. soft clipping, and ...

  7. Stereophonic sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonic_sound

    The audio engineer may, and often does, use more than two microphones (sometimes many more) and may mix them down to two tracks in ways that exaggerate the separation of the instruments, in order to compensate for the mixture that occurs when listening via speakers. Descriptions of stereophonic sound tend to stress the ability to localize the ...

  8. Audio-to-video synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio-to-video_synchronization

    A video monitor with built-in speakers or line-out may not delay sound and video paths equally. Some video monitors contain internal user-adjustable audio delays to aid in correction of errors. Some transmission protocols like RTP require an out-of-band method for synchronizing media streams. In some RTP systems, each media stream has its own ...

  9. Coaxial loudspeaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_loudspeaker

    A coaxial loudspeaker is a loudspeaker system in which the individual driver units radiate sound from the same point or axis. Two general types exist: one is a compact design using two or three speaker drivers, usually in car audio, and the other is a two-way high-power design for professional audio, also known as single-source or dual-concentric loudspeakers.
