VOCAL offers a wide options of audio compression algorithms, mainly from the ITU (International
Telecommunications Union) and the ETSI, (European Telecommunicaton Standard Institute)
G.721 is a 32 kbps Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) speech compression
algorithm. It produces toll quality speech. Under error free transmission, G.721 has a slightly worse
perceived quality than G.711. The quality of G.721 significantly deteriorates when several such links are
used in tandem. With transmission error rates higher than 10.4, the perceived quality of G.721 is better
than G.711.
G.726 extends the G.721 ADPCM to include 40, 24 and 16 kbps, as well as 32 kbps. G.726 at 40 kbps
performs comparable to G.711.
G.728 Low-Delay Code Excited Linear Prediction (LD-CELP) compression is a 16 kbps compression.
This has an algorithmic coding delay of 0.625 ms. Compared with G.721, G.728 tends to score worse in
objective, but better in subjective testes. A characteristic of CELP algorithms is that they tend to perform
poorer than ADPCM in the presence of background noise.

The coder processes signals with 30 ms frames and has a 7.5 ms look-ahead. Relative to the G.729/
G.729A coders, the G.723 speech coders pass DTMF tones through with less distortion.
Both the 5 1/3k bps and 6.4k bps rates are mandatory for the encoder and decoder. A G.723 frame
stream may switch between the two rates at any 30 ms frame boundary.
The line interface may be an analog front end (codec and DAA) or a digital interface such as T1/E1,
switched 56 and ISDN. The upper end of this software offers a direct binary and speech frame interface.

- Data/Facsimile/Voice command sets available.
- Various startup procedures available (V.8 and V.8bis).
- Multiple ports can be executed on a single DSP.
G.729 Annex A speech coder was developed for use in multimedia simultaneous voice and data
applications like DSVD. The coder processes signals with 10 ms frames and has a 5 ms look-ahead
which results in a total of 15 ms algorithmic delay. The input/output of this algorithm is 16 bit linear
PCM samples that are converted from/to 8 kbps compressed data stream.
