  Bitstream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bitstreams are used extensively in telecommunications and computing: for example, the SDH communications technology transports synchronous bitstreams, and the TCP communications protocol transports a bytestream without synchronous timing.
When a bitstream is captured and stored on a computer storage media, a computer file is created.
The term bitstream is frequently used to describe the configuration data to be loaded into a field programmable gate array.

 Bitstream versus pcm debate for high-density compact disc   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Indeed, it is a primary attribute of bitstream that there is high correlation between bit pattern and audio data as signal recovery is implemented by processing the bitstream directly with a low-pass filter.
Although there is a certain elegance to the bitstream approach which is attractive for a simple recording chain of a back-to-back ADC and DAC, this elegance is lost when the needs of the recording studio are considered, even when this is a relatively 'direct' audiophile process.
We recognise the advantage of bitstream in a basic system and the natural extension of ultrasonic bandwidth, however this is easily lost in post-processing where there is a danger of intermodulation with high-frequency audio and out-of-band shaped noise.

The company had a high level of involvment in BeOS, with older BeOS releases using a now-outdated Bitstream renderer, and the latest development releases from 2001 using Font Fusion.
The OS, inclumding its freeware releases, included a large number of Bitstream fonts, including their clones of Times New Roman, Helvetica and Courier.
Their best known font is Swiss 721 BT, which is a Helvetica clone, but has condensed versions, and a rounded version that is closer to Comic Sans MS than a Swiss family font.

 Bitstream Syntax Description Language: Application of XML-Schema to Multimedia Content Adaptation
In a simplified view, the bitstream is organized as a sequence of packets containing a header, identified by a two-byte marker with the hexadecimal value FF91, followed by two bytes indicating the length of the header, and four bytes indicating the packet number.
Due to the scalable properties of the bitstream, the packet data does not need to be decoded to adapt the image, and may be manipulated as a whole.
Once the client capabilities have been translated in terms of bitstream quality, the parameters can be used to transmit the adaptation values to the style sheet, for instance the number of SNR layers to be kept, or the number of temporal levels to be suppressed.

 BitStream Pro review @ ReasonStation
I know now, after playing around with the BitStream for a while, that the only way to operate and tweak Reason to its full extent is by using an external MIDI controller.
MIDI controllers come in various shapes and sizes, but the BitStream is one of the only ones I have seen that comes with faders, knobs and buttons.
The BitStream, which has a metallic case with a clear front panel design, has certainly got enough to control any aspect of Reason.

"Bitstream is the brothers Steve and Dave Conner, born in the mid 70's in a small town in Northamptonshire, England.
Compiling some of Bitstream's rarest material to date alongside their best known work, One Third Standard Lux is a perfect starting point from which to establish the importance the brothers Conner have had on the British electro scene over the last few years.
Their love of experimental music is also proudly on display, vocal treatments on the harrowing 'Lost Cluster' and 'Madame Resonance' showing this to most devastating effect, while the unadulterated crunchy euphoria of the classic 'Radiotherapy' acts as the perfect album opener.

 Bitstream Vera Fonts README
This will make the Bitstream fonts your default fonts for all applications using fontconfig (if sans, serif, or monospace names are used, as they often are as default values in many desktops).
The fonts have a generous copyright, allowing derivative works (as long as "Bitstream" or "Vera" are not in the names), and full redistribution (so long as they are not *sold* by themselves).
Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to do so either.

 Zvon - RFC 3533 [The Ogg Encapsulation Format Version 0] - The Ogg bitstream format
The logical bitstreams are identified by a unique serial number in the header of each page of the physical bitstream.
So, a physical bitstream begins with the bos pages of all logical bitstreams containing one initial header packet per page, followed by the subsidiary header packets of all streams, followed by pages containing data packets.
The bitstreams do not overlap, i.e., the eos page of a given logical bitstream is immediately followed by the bos page of the next.

 Oversampling and bitstream methods in audio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In my mind, this is one of the prime reasons why bitstream techniques should only be used to implement parts of the signal chain—in the absence of a complete theoretical framework, bit depth reduction and noise shaping should not be incorporated into audio systems at an architectural level.
That the same information takes more space when encoded as a bitstream than when a PCM presentation is used is caused by the same reason that Arabic numerals are so much handier than their Roman counterparts.
The text claims that since the stored bitstream is so close to the original wave, the resulting playback quality is superior to the one offered by PCM techniques.

A physical bitstream consists of multiple logical bitstreams multiplexed at the page level and may include a 'meta-header' at the beginning of the multiplexed logical stream that serves as identification magic.
The simplest physical bitstream is a single, unmultiplexed logical bitstream with no meta-header; this is referred to as a 'degenerate stream'.
Such a physical bitstream obeys all the rules of both grouped and chained multiplexed streams; the groups, when unchained, must stand on their own as a valid concurrently multiplexed bitstream.
