  • Page 62: Explanation Of Terms

    Explanation of Terms MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) The MPEG Audio standard is a standard for compression of audio information. Layer 1 can obtain a compression ratio of 1/4, Layer 2, 1/8 and Layer 3, 1/10. Since high sound quality approaching that of a music CD can be obtained, this format is convenient for compact playback devices (portable players, etc.) and for distribution over the Internet.
  • Page 63 Explanation of Terms Parallel Port This is an input / output connector for connecting peripheral devices to a personal computer, and the printer port is representative of such ports. As opposed to the parallel port (where there are multiple data lines), there is the serial port (= RS-232C, with 1 data line) which is used as an input / output connector for connecting to modems, etc.
