Recording Format - Raw Content Formats

Raw Content Formats

A raw content format is a system of converting data to displayable information. Raw content formats may either be recorded in secondary signal processing methods such as a software container format (e.g. digital audio, digital video) or recorded in the primary format. A primary raw content format may be directly observable (e.g. image, sound, motion, smell, sensation) or physical data which only requires hardware to display it, such as a phonographic needle and diaphragm or a projector lamp and magnifying glass.

Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or content:

    And we can get back to that raw state
    Of feeling, so long deemed
    Inconsequential and therefore appropriate to our later musings
    About religion, about migrations. What is restored
    Becomes stronger than the loss as it is remembered;
    Is a new, separate life of its own.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Women are angels, wooing;
    Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing.
    That she beloved knows naught that knows not this:
    Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
    That she was never yet that ever knew
    Love got so sweet as when desire did sue.
    Therefore this maxim out of love I teach:
    Achievement is command; ungained, beseech.
    Then though my heart’s content firm love doth bear,
    Nothing of that shall from mine eyes appear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
