- Description
- The SHN file format, short for Shorten Compressed Audio File, is a type of compressed audio file developed for efficiently archiving high-quality digital audio. Shorten was one of the early lossless compression methods for audio, meaning it allows the exact original audio data to be reconstructed from the compressed data, without any loss in quality.
- The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) file, commonly known by its file extension .hevc, represents a video compression format designed to substantially improve coding efficiency compared to its predecessor, H.264/AVC. Aimed at enabling higher resolution video content such as 4K and 8K, HEVC is adept at maintaining high-quality video at roughly half the bitrate, significantly reducing file sizes without compromising on visual fidelity. This efficiency makes HEVC particularly valuable in streaming media applications.
