al·go·rithm

(al'gō-ridhm),
A systematic process consisting of an ordered sequence of steps, each step depending on the outcome of the previous one. In clinical medicine, a step-by-step protocol for management of a health care problem; in computed tomography, the formulas used to calculate the final image from the transmitted x-ray data.

algorithm

(1) A sequential procedure for solving a mathematical problem.
(2) A step-by-step procedure for reaching a decision when choosing among multiple alternative options, linked to each other by a decision tree.

algorithm

Decision-making A logical set of rules for solving a specific problem, which assumes that all of the data is objective, that there are a finite number of solutions to the problem, and that there are logical steps that must be performed to arrive at each of those solutions NIHspeak A step-by-step procedure for solving a problem; a formula.

However, all of these encoding algorithms require redundant control lines and overhead logic to recognise the switching rate between subsequent transmissions.

In a file-based workflow, improvements in encoding algorithms equate to better image quality at lower bit rates, which, in turn, mean improved viewer retention and lower data distribution costs.
Time Adjustment in broadcast
Compression techniques also typically introduce significant latency into the network due to the non-incremental nature of their data processing and encoding algorithms. These compression technologies are therefore constrained by both small buffer sizes that prevent the discovery of widely separated patterns and by unacceptable latency and network delay.

The device allows broadcasters to interconnect studios and remote locations, including transmitter sites, using the AES67 standard and any of today's encoding algorithms across wide-area IP networks.

Residual encoding algorithms, such as Run-Length Encoding (RLE) can use data in a more efficient manner, especially in the case of simple graphical images such as icons, line drawings or animations, by encoding repetitive sequences of data into single data and its count.
