Hi everybody: About the Telephone's sample rate: >Telephone companies chose 8,000 8-bit samples/second to give an upper >frequency response of ~4000 Hertz (Nyquist limit). Yes (8K 8bits = 64Kbits/s only in Europe, but in my country too), but remmember that you must apply the mu-law (or the a-law) to get a good result, applying this compression you'll get the same result as using 12 bits. bye SET ******************************************************************************** Salvador Eduardo Tropea (SET) - salvador@inti.edu.ar Work: INTI (National Institute of Industrial Technology) Sector: ICE (Electronic Control & Instrumentation) Post (Home): Curapaligue 2124 - Caseros (1678)- Buenos Aires - Argentina
