Nekomprimované

Nekomprimované refers to data that has not undergone any compression process. In digital media, this typically means that the raw data, such as an uncompressed image or audio file, is stored in its original form without any reduction in size. This contrasts with compressed formats, which use algorithms to reduce the file size by removing redundant information or using more efficient encoding methods.

Uncompressed formats are often preferred when the absolute highest quality is required, as no data is lost during the process. For example, in professional photography or audio production, uncompressed formats like TIFF or WAV are frequently used to ensure maximum fidelity for later editing. However, the significant advantage of uncompressed data in terms of quality comes with a considerable drawback: much larger file sizes. This can lead to increased storage requirements and slower transfer speeds.

Common examples of uncompressed data include bitmap image formats like BMP, and uncompressed audio formats like PCM (Pulse-code modulation) which is the standard audio format for CDs. While many modern applications and devices handle uncompressed data seamlessly, its use is often a trade-off between quality and efficiency. As storage capacity continues to grow and network speeds increase, the practicalities of using uncompressed data become less of a barrier for some applications.
