Video file formats and settings can be pretty complicated, and it’s all about trading off file sizes against quality. 8-bit video capture keeps file sizes smaller and is pretty much a universal common ...

Few things are more frustrating than a requirement for some feature that exceeds the ability of your present hardware. Say you’re designing a product that has historically required an 8-bit digital-to ...

It is easy to port C compilers to architectures that look like old minicomputers or bigger CPUs. However, as the authors of the Small Device C Compiler (SDCC) found, pushing C into a typical 8-bit CPU ...

I’ve been doing some transcoding of videos from x264 to x265NVENC. So far some of the results have gotten really good compression ratios but I end up being disappointed by a lot of the banding that ...

AS for the video player outputting 10-bit, I guess if that's true, it doesn't make sense to me why they bother with more color precision in anime, since it soulds like it'd have to map back to 8-bit ...

Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a terrific basis for digital to analog conversion. Credit goes to features like simplicity and (theoretically) perfect differential and integral linearity.

When the need for speed overcomes you, thoughts generally don’t turn to 8-bit computers. Sure, an 8-bit machine is fun for retro gameplay and reliving the glory days, and there certainly were some old ...
