A computer is considered digital because of the way that it stores information. The bit, which is a single "on" or "off" in a computer system, is a single digit. An example of a difference between digital and analogue is thus: If you have a voltage, from 0 to 5 volts, you could represent 2.5 volts in an analogue system as 2.5 volts. However, in a digital system, that voltage would need to be converted. The resolution refers to how many "steps" there are between 0 and 5 volts. Let's say that we were going to represent our voltage with 8 bits (or 8 on and off states). That gives us a potential for 256 combinations, with 0 being 0 volts, and 255 being 5 volts. Therefore, 2.5 volts would be represented by 128. That is a DIGITAL representation of an ANALOG value.

Why does a digital tuner for HDTV have a analog to digital converter?
The digital tuner also demodulates the normal analog broadcasting. The tuner outputs a analog composite video signal to Video Processing Chip. In that chip, there is a ADC to convert the analog to digital, then after procession, display the content on the screen
Which device is used to convert digital signals to analog signals or analog signals to digital signals?
The set top box that your provider gives you is what converts the Digital signal to the analog signal. The digital signal is compressed at the provider and sent to the end user. The "tuner" (which can be built into a tv, a set top box or a cable card) Then decompresses the digital signal and converts it into an analog signal. There is much more to this did not know how technical you wanted your answer.
What translates a computer's digital signal?
Digital to analog converter.An analog to digital converter and digital to analog converter are present in a computer. they serve this purpose. They are present in the form of ICs inside.
What are AD and DA?
AD is Analog to Digital conversion the use is to do digital measurements of analog voltages and currents, a computer soundcard is an AD converter that convert analog sound to digital sound so that it can be played on a computer, and DA is the opposite, digital to analog conversion, the digital sound on the computer is converted to analog sound to drive a speaker or headphone
Is super computer an analog or digital computer?
The super computer is a massively parallel digital computer.
What is a computer called with combination of an analog and a digital computer?
hybrid computer
Does sound have to be converted from digital to analog for a computer?
No. Sound has to be converted from analog to digital for use by a computer, not the other way around. It is converted to analog so amplifiers and other analog equipment can use it and so you can hear it.
The computer that process both analog and digital is?
hybrid computer
Where would you find digital to analog in the computer?
You would find a digital to analog conversion taking place when you have a monitor with a VGA connection plugged into the computer. The computer would then have to convert digital signals into analog signals so the monitor could comprehend the data it is given.
What do electronic computer manufacturers produce?
Included in this industry are digital computers, analog computers, and hybrid digital/analog computers.
Does a computer monitor produce a digital or analog picture?
It depends on your monitor. The big old CRT monitors are analog. The computer sends digital information to the monitor but it then gets turned into analog so the monitor can display that information. The LCD monitors are digital. The computer sends digital information to the monitor which it can display because it is digital.
What 2 groups a computer can be divided into?
Digital and analog
Is first computer generations analog or digital?
Analogue
what's the difference between analog and digital watches?
Analog is a clock with the moving hands on it, while digital is computer generated numbers.
