codecn.

Brit.

/ˈkəʊdɛk/, U.S.

/ˈkoʊˌdɛk/

Origin: Formed within English, by blending. Etymons: coder n., decoder n. at decode v. Derivatives.

Etymology: Blend of cod- (in coder n.) + dec- (in decoder n. at decode v. Derivatives).In later use sometimes reinterpreted as < co- (in compressor n.) + dec- (in decompressor n.).

Telecommunications, Electronics, and Computing.

A device which converts analogue audio or video signals into digital ones (or vice versa) to facilitate transmission; a device or program which encodes or decodes (and often also compresses or decompresses) digital data to facilitate transmission or storage.Codecs are often used for handling large amounts of data in digital communications, streaming, etc.

1965 Bell Syst. Techn. Jrnl. 44 1887 The term ‘codec’ will be used to denote the coder (analog to digital converter), the decoder (digital to analog converter), and all of the associated circuits.

1987 T. Forester High-tech Society (1989) iv. 125 A full motion color TV picture can typically be transmitted via Codecs using only 768,000 bits of data per second (equivalent to just 12 ordinary phone calls), instead of the millions of bits required before.

1993 New Scientist 6 Mar. 28/2 These processes let the codec (coder-decoder) reduce the overall bit rate from more than 100 Mbit/s to any rate between 64 kbit/s and 2 Mbit/s.

1997 Electronic Engin. Times 30 June 140/5 AC'97 calls for a ‘controller’ between the PCI bus and the codec, which interfaces the digital machine with the analog world of microphones, speakers and ordinary telephone lines.

2009 Guardian 6 Aug. (Technol. section) 5/1 The BBC's online iPlayer..uses a higher-quality codec than the other digital systems.
