Codec - Definition
Codec is a term used in reference to integrated circuits, or chips that perform data conversion. It is actually an acronym for coder/decoder. This type of codec combines analog-to-digital conversion and digital-to-analog conversion functions in a single chip. In computing applications, the most common use for such a device is in a modem. A codec is also an algorithm, or specialized computer program, that reduces the number of bytes consumed by large files and programs.
