Audio Coding and Its Applications From MPEG-1 to Smartphone
Distinguished Lecturer Talk
This talk presents an overview of audio coding in the last 30 years. MPEG Audio Coding, which is a commodity today for everybody, is briefly explained with its early history and underlying technology for data compression. As one of the most important applications, the birth of an all solid-state audio player, known as the Silicon Audio, is highlighted which is a precursor of Apple’s iPod, followed by a history of portable multimedia terminals emerged into smartphones.
