Bit rate

The bit rate is a measure of data

volume expressed in bits per

second (bps).

Byte

One of the fundamental units

used to express digitized data

in computers. Digitized data is

commonly expressed in binary

digits (zeros and ones). A single

unit of data is one bit. One byte

consists of eight bits.

Condensation

Condensation occurs inside the

unit during where there is a quick

rise in temperature, as when a

heater is turned on. If condensation

occurs, keep the unit turned off

until the moisture evaporates.

Hard Disk

A high-volume, digitally encoded

storage device used in computers

and other digital devices. By

combining a magnetic disk and

drive mechanism into an integrated

unit, hard disks are capable of

very fast data writing and reading

and boast superb data search

capabilities.

ID3

ID3 is information (such as the

track name or artist name) that is

recorded in an MP3 file. The ID3

tag is used by this unit to display

track information for MP3 files.

ISO9660

A standard of the International

Organization for Standardization

(ISO) that defines the file system of

CD-ROM media.

MP3

Abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio

Layer3. It is a standard for audio

file compression determined by the

MPEG (Motion Picture Experts

Group), an ISO (International

Organization for Standardization)

working group. It enables

compression of audio files to about

1/10 of the data size of a standard

compact disc. Since the MP3

encoding algorithm is disclosed,

there are various encoders/

decoders that are compliant with

this standard. The MP3 standard

is therefore widely used in the

computer field.

Sampling frequency

When audio sources are converted

from analog to digital data, they

must be changed into numbers

(digitized). This process is called

sampling, and the sampling

frequency refers to the number of

times per second that the signals

are measured for the recording.

Music CDs are sampled at 44,100

times per second, so the sampling

frequency is expressed as 44.1 kHz.

Generally, the higher the sampling

frequency, the higher the fidelity of

the recording.

DAB (Digital Audio

Broadcasting)-related

terms (UK model only)

Dynamic label segment

The text data transmitted for each

channel or service.

Ensemble label

In DAB, multiple digital radio

channels are transmitted using

a single radio transmission or

frequency. A group of channels sent

this way is called an “ensemble”

and “ensemble label” is the name of

such a group.

Service label

The name of an individual digital

radio channel or service.
