The [[discrete cosine transform]] (DCT) [[image compression]] algorithm has been widely implemented in DSP chips, with many companies developing DSP chips based on DCT technology. DCTs are widely used for [[encoding]], decoding, [[video coding]], [[audio coding]], [[multiplexing]], control signals, [[signaling]], [[analog-to-digital conversion]], formatting [[luminance]] and color differences, and color formats such as [[YUV444]] and [[YUV411]]. DCTs are also used for encoding operations such as [[motion estimation]], [[motion compensation]], [[inter-frame]] prediction, [[Quantization (signal processing)|quantization]], perceptual weighting, [[entropy encoding]], variable encoding, and [[motion vector]]s, and decoding operations such as the inverse operation between different color formats ([[YIQ]], [[YUV]] and [[RGB]]) for display purposes. DCTs are also commonly used for [[high-definition television]] (HDTV) encoder/decoder chips.<ref name="Stankovic">{{cite journal |last1=Stanković |first1=Radomir S. |last2=Astola |first2=Jaakko T. |title=Reminiscences of the Early Work in DCT: Interview with K.R.
