Digital rights management (DRM) schemes are various access control technologies that are used to restrict usage of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works.

DRM technologies try to control the use, modification, and distribution of copyrighted works (such as software and multimedia content), as well as systems within devices that enforce these policies.

Transcoding is the direct analog-to-analog or digital-to-digital conversion of one encoding to another, such as for movie data files (e.g., PAL, SECAM, NTSC), audio files (e.g., MP3, WAV), or character encoding (e.g., UTF-8, ISO/IEC 8859).

This is usually done in cases where a target device (or workflow) does not support the format or has limited storage capacity that mandates a reduced file size, or to convert incompatible or obsolete data to a better-supported or modern format.

Digital video is a representation of moving visual images in the form of encoded digital data.

This is in contrast to analog video, which represents moving visual images with analog signals.

Digital video comprises a series digital images displayed in rapid succession.

In contrast, one of the key analog video methods, motion picture film, uses a series of photographs which are projected in rapid succession.

Standard film stocks such as 16 mm and 35 mm record at 24 frames per second.

For video, there are two frame rate standards: NTSC, at about 30 frames per second, and PAL at 25 frames per second.

A software development kit (SDK or devkit) is typically a set of software development tools that allows the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar development platform.

To enrich applications with advanced functionalities, advertisements, push notifications and more, most app developers implement specific software development kits.

Some SDKs are critical for developing an iOS/Android app.

For example, the development of an Android application requires an SDK with Java, for iOS apps an iOS SDK with Swift, and for MS Windows the .NET Framework SDK with.NET.

There are also SDKs that are installed in apps to provide analytics and data about activity.

Prominent examples include Google, InMobi and Facebook.

An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current).

An amplifier functions by taking power from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude.

In this sense, an amplifier modulates the output of the power supply based upon the properties of the input signal.

An amplifier is effectively the opposite of an attenuator: while an amplifier provides gain, an attenuator provides loss.
