Abstract:
An adjustable CODEC for compression and decompression of signals comprising:an input for receiving an audio signal;a memory storage device having a plurality of audio compression schemes stored thereon for compressing said audio signal;an encoder for forming a first compressed digital bit stream, said encoder cooperatively connected to said memory storage device;at least one interface selectively connecting an output from said encoder to a node of a selected first one of a plurality of digital transmission facilities;a decoder having a decompression unit having a plurality of programmed audio decompression schemes for decompressing a received compressed digital data bit stream into a decompressed signal;an input of said decoder selectively connected by said at least one interface to said node of said selected first one of said plurality of digital transmission facilities; andan output connected to said decoder for outputting said decompressed signal.
