Linear encoders are electronic sensors used to measure position along a straight line in robotics and automation systems. They use different sensing methods, such as optical, magnetic, or eddy currents, to determine position. The data can be incremental or absolute and is used for informational purposes or as part of a computerized system. A linear […]
An HTML encoder converts special characters into HTML code for internet browsers to read. It is commonly used in HTML editors and web platforms. Specialty encoders can perform various tasks, and some can produce web content. HTML is not a traditional programming language, and encoders with multilingual capabilities can simplify coding. An HTML (Hyper Text […]
Encoders compress and convert data from one format to another, often used for audio and video. They maintain sound quality while reducing file size and can bridge the gap between older and newer technology. Encoders are software programs used to compress information. Often, their function will also allow data to be converted from one format […]
Streaming media is one-way transmission of audio or video over a data network. Encoders convert data to a format suitable for streaming. Cost and functionality vary, with professional encoders offering more output format choices and additional features such as pre-processing and captioning. Live webcasts require an encoder that can also stream. Media streaming is a […]
Different encoders are available for storing digital data, with specialized encoders being the best for certain types of data. An encoder combines a compression algorithm with a program to form a complete program. Image encoders and general archiving encoders are available, as well as specialized encoders for streaming video, audio tracks, and 3D data. Choosing […]
Medical coders assign codes to patient procedure files for proper billing to insurance companies. Certification is not legally required, but preferred by some healthcare facilities. Common codes include CPT and HCPCS. Certified coders can work in various healthcare settings or as independent contractors. A medical coder is a healthcare administrative worker who assigns codes to […]
