Knowra Digital media Digital media Digital media is content encoded as discrete data, including text, images, audio, and video. It also encompasses technologies for creating, storing, editing, and distributing that content.
Binary code : A system that represents information using two symbols, typically 0 and 1. Digital media is encoded as binary data that computers can store and process.
Digital content creation : The production of text, images, audio, or video using digital tools. Authoring software and recording devices turn ideas and events into digital media.
Digital publishing : The production and distribution of books, newspapers, and other publications in digital form. It applies digital media to texts designed for reading and circulation.
Analog media : Media that represents information through continuously varying physical signals or forms. Its continuous representation contrasts with digital media's discrete encoding.
File format : A specification for how data is organized and interpreted in a file. Formats determine how media content is encoded and which software can read it.
Digital encoding : The conversion of information into a digital representation that computers can process. Encoding turns captured or authored content into files that devices can handle.
Streaming media : Audio or video delivered continuously over a network for playback as it arrives. Streaming makes large media works playable without first downloading the entire file.
Analog-to-digital converter : An electronic device that converts a continuous analog signal into digital samples. It marks the boundary where analog sound or images enter a digital workflow.
Metadata : Structured information that describes, identifies, or organizes other data. Descriptions such as creator, date, and dimensions help systems manage media files.
Digital storage : The retention of digital data on electronic or optical storage media. Storage preserves media files for later access, editing, or distribution.
