What Is a Decoder?
A decoder is a device or software designed to reverse the encoding process, restoring encoded information to its original state.
Available in various forms such as audio, video, image, and decryption decoders, these devices employ algorithms that undo the encoding process. For instance, an audio decoder reverses the compression algorithm applied to audio files, restoring them to their original format.
Widely utilized across digital devices, household appliances, communication systems, medical equipment, and industrial machinery, decoders typically comprise decoding algorithms, memory, processors, and other essential components.
