GLOSSARY ■ Encode/Decode When a signal or other information is processed, compressed and digitized, this is called encoding. Encoding can be used to record an extremely large amount of information on a single CD or DVD. An encoded signal cannot be listened to directly. It must be returned to its original state (i.e. audible sound) and this is called decoding.
