La Codificación de Audio (también conocida como compresión de audio) es una representación digital de las señales de sonido para ser almacenadas o transmitidas por cualquier medio digital. En este proceso se busca siempre ocupar el mínimo número de bits posible para poder transmitirla por canales limitados en velocidad o bien poder almacenar muchos sonidos o música en el menor espacio posible. Todo ello se debe realizar manteniendo una calidad de sonido cada vez más exigente y, en los últimos años, permitiendo sistemas más avanzados que el estéreo que proporcionan sonido espacial. En este curso veremos los estándares más conocidos, como el MP3, así como otros formatos superiores aparecidos en los últimos años.

Unidades:

Sección 1: Digitalización y compresión de audio, ¿cómo afecta a nuestra percepción?
Sección 2: Escalas auditivas y tipos de compresión
Sección 3: Estándares MPEG de compresión de audio
Sección 4: Codificadores avanzados de audio
Sección 5: Evaluación de codificadores

What you'll learn

  • Aprenderás los conceptos básicos de digitalización y almacenamiento de las señales y la capacidad de memoria necesaria.
  • Comprenderás el concepto de “tasa de compresión” y “velocidad binaria” (bitrate) de una coficación digital.
  • Estudiarás los mecanismos subjetivos de la percepción humana del sonido, sus limitaciones y el enmascaramiento que se produce en el oído.
  • Diferenciarás entre compresión con pérdidas y sin pérdidas.
  • Estudiarás los fundamentos básicos de la compresión con pérdidas a través de las diferentes capas del estándar MPEG hasta llegar al MP3.
  • Repasaremos estándares más avanzados que el MP3 como el MPEG-4 AAC y el OPUS.
  • Aprenderás a evaluar la calidad de un codificador con pérdidas a través de test “doble ciego” y MUSHRA

Do you realize that the only functionality of a web application that the user directly interacts with is through the web page? Implement it poorly and, to the user, the server-side becomes irrelevant! Today’s user expects a lot out of the web page: it has to load fast, expose the desired service, and be comfortable to view on all devices: from a desktop computers to tablets and mobile phones. In this course, we will learn the basic tools that every web page coder needs to know. We will start from the ground up by learning how to implement modern web pages with HTML and CSS.

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have a page, what do I do now?).
