For companies looking to push their video encoding offsite, the first step is learning the various types of cloud encoders available. At the recent Streaming Media West conference in sunny Huntington ...

This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that involves motion monitoring or control. There are a variety of ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...
