The Animation codec is a fast Citation needed date November 2010 and lossless if encoded at 100 quality Quicktime video codec created by Apple Computer to enable playback of RGB video in Real time computing real time without expensive hardware. It supports color depths from 1 to 32 bits, and is one of the few video codecs that supports an alpha channel . The Animation codec uses run length encoding , and as such works well for traditional 2 D animation where there are large areas of constant color. For complex 3D rendered scenes or digitized film of real world footage, it barely compresses at all and can also add visible noise at lower than 100 quality levels.

It is also known as Cooker, Gecko, RealAudio G2, and RealAudio 8 low bitrate RA8LBR . Introduced in 1998, the cook codec was the first audio codec developed by RealNetworks in house, and was named after its author, Ken Cooke. The design was largely based on G.722.1 . http lists.mplayerhq.hu pipermail ffmpeg cvslog 2007 April 007039.html It is a pure transform codec based on the modified discrete cosine transform with a single block size. In 2003, RealNetworks introduced a surround sound version of cook, called RealAudio Multichannel. This was initially designated by the four character code whrl , but is now identified as cook , as mono stereo files are. Although RealNetworks never published a technical description of the cook codec, others have Reverse engineering reverse engineered the format, and as of December 2005, FFmpeg libavcodec contains a decoder capable of playing cook encoded files.

The object of the algorithm is to represent the high fidelity audio signal with minimum number of bits while retaining the quality. This can effectively reduce the storage space and the Bandwidth computing bandwidth required for transmission of the stored audio file . Most codecs are implemented as libraries which interface to one or more media player application software multimedia players , such as QuickTime Player , XMMS , Winamp , VLC media player , MPlayer or Windows Media Player . In hardware , audio codec refers to a single device that encodes analog audio as digital signals and decodes digital back into analog. In other words, it contains both an Analog to digital converter ADC and Digital to analog converter DAC running off the same clock. This is used in sound card s that support both audio in and out, for instance.

IP Video Codecs IP video codecs are used widely in security and broadcast applications to send video between two locations. Video codecs use Data compression compression algorithms to send good video quality at substantially lower bit rates than uncompressed signals. Broadcast applications often use MPEG 2 and H.264 MPEG 4 AVC standards for video compression. The EBU is working on a minimum set of common standards for real time video over Internet Protocol IP transmissions. The recommended standards and protocols are designed ensure compatibility between different codecs and provide adequate high quality transmissions. IP Audio Codecs IP audio codec s are used to send broadcast quality audio over IP from remote broadcast locations to radio and television studios around the globe. IP codecs are ideal for use in remote broadcasts, as studio transmitter link s STLs or for studio to studio audio distribution. IP audio codecs use audio compression algorithms to send high fidelity audio over both wired broadband IP networks and wireless 3G, 3.5G and 4G broadband networks.
