Recorded audio data is compressed to obtain a condensed version, by first selecting a number of subsequent non-overlapping segments of the audio data, then reducing each segment by temporal compression and combining the reduced segments into a shortened version which can be output. The temporal compression may be made with a local compression factor which varies between the segments. The segmenting may be chosen based on an innovation signal derived from the audio data itself to indicate a content change rate in the audio data.

A highly efficient projection system is provided, including a light source, a color separator, a scrolling unit, a light valve, a projection lens unit, and a polarization conversion system. The color separator separates an incident beam according to color. The scrolling unit includes at least one lens cell and converts a rotation of the lens cell into a rectilinear motion of an area of the lens cell through which light passes so the incident beam is scrolled. The light valve processes a beam transmitted by the color separator and the scrolling unit, according to an image signal and forms a color picture. The projection lens unit magnifies the color picture formed by the light valve and projects the magnified color picture onto a screen. The polarization conversion system is installed between the color separator and the light valve and converts the incident beam into a beam with a single polarization.
