-In communication systems, the term refers to components in the transmitter (contains a coder) and receiver (contains a decoder) which transform the data stream between the internal representation and a signal suitable for the physical media between the transmitter/receiver. Such [Codec]
pairs commonly perform exotic [ErrorCorrection] and insert synchronisation and timestamping features into the stream.

-Along similar lines, on desktop computers, the term refers to a library (or a set thereof) which encapsulates access to a certain data format (commonly audio or video). The term is usually used in relation to [MediaPlayer]s, who commonly use [Codec
