    A concept of …

    What is a Digital Media


    ƒ The form and technology used to communicate
    digital information;
    ƒ Examples:
    ƒ Text … … ASCII Code, JIS Code, EUC
    ƒ Graphics … BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF, JPEG
    (2D & 3D) Open GL, VRML
    ƒ Sound …… MIDI, MP3, WMA
    ƒ Video … …. RMV, MPEG,WMV
    ƒ Animation … GIF Animation, Flash,
    3-D Animation, Virtual Reality

    6
    A concept of …

    What is a Digital Multimedia


    ƒ The use of computers to present text,
    graphics, sound, video, and animation in
    an integrated way
    ƒ Any combination of two or more media,
    represented in digital form, sufficiently
    integrated to be presented via a single
    interface, or manipulated by a single
    computer program.

    7
    What is a multimedia system?

    ƒ A multimedia system supports the integrated


    storage, transmission and representation of the
    discrete media types text, graphics and image
    and the continuous media types audio and video
    on a digital computer.
    ƒ Examples:
    ƒ MS-PowerPoint ….multimedia presentation
    ƒ WebCT …. Web-based multimedia e-learning
    ƒ i-Tunes and YouTube web system…..Multimedia
    storage and transmission (Multimedia Management
    System), etc
    8
    Time-Independent and Time-Dependent Media

    Time-Independent Media
    ƒ Information is not related to the timing of the data stream
    ƒ All „classic“ media in the computer, such as:
    ƒ text
    ƒ graphics (line drawings, vector graphic)
    ƒ image (photo, pixel graphics).
    Time-Dependent Media
    ƒ Information is time-related, must be shown to the user at specific points in
    time
    ƒ Continuous data streams
    ƒ Data appears in regular intervals
    ƒ Examples:
    ƒ Audio (continuous)
    ƒ Video (continuous)
    ƒ An animation (not a continuous stream, but time-dependent)
    ƒ An interactive game on the Internet (not a continuous stream, but has real-time
    requirements)

    9
    Definition of a Multimedia System

    ƒ A multimedia system is characterized by the


    integrated
    ƒ production,
    ƒ processing,
    ƒ storage,
    ƒ transmission
    ƒ and representation
    of several time-dependent and time
    independent media streams.

    10
    History of Bandwidth in Computer Networks

    11
    Network Requirements of Different Types of Data Streams

    12
    Goals of Compression

    The compression of multimedia data streams saves


    ƒ storage space
    ƒ transmission bandwidth
