2. What Is Multimedia?
 Multimedia is any combination of:
• Text
• Art
• Sound
• Animation
• Video
 Delivered to you by computer or other electronic or digitally
manipulated means.
 A multimedia project development requires creative,
technical, organizational, and business skills.

3. Definitions :
 End user / viewer of a multimedia project—to control what and when
the elements are delivered, it is called interactive multimedia.
 When you provide a structure of linked elements through which the
user can navigate, interactive multimedia becomes hypermedia.
 A project is linear, starting at the beginning and running through to the
end.
 When users are given navigational control and can wander through the
content at will, multimedia becomes nonlinear.

4. Where to Use Multimedia ?
 Multimedia in Business:
Business applications for multimedia include :
• Presentations
• Training
• Marketing
• Advertising
• Product Demos
• Simulations
• Databases
• Catalogs

5. • Multimedia around the office has also become more
commonplace.
• Image capture hardware is used for building employee ID
and badging databases.
• Presentation documents attached to e-mail and video
conferencing are widely available.
• Laptop computers and high resolution projectors are
common place for multimedia presentations on the road.

6.  Multimedia in Schools/educational sectors
• Schools are perhaps the destination most in need of
multimedia
• The U.S. government has challenged the telecommunications
industry to connect every classroom, library, clinic, and
hospital in America to the information superhighway.
• The National Grid for Learning (NGfL) has established similar
aims for schools in the United Kingdom.

7. Multimedia in
Schools/educational sectors
• Move away from the transmission or
passive- learner model of learning to the
experiential learning or active-learner
model.
• Online classes

8.  Multimedia at Home
• Gardening
• Cooking
• Home Design
• Remodeling
• Repair to genealogy software – Reunion from Leister
Productions lets families add text, images, sounds, and video
clips as they build their family trees.

9. • Computer with an
attached CD-ROM
or DVD drive or a
set-top player that
hooks up to the

11. Virtual Reality
 Convergence of technology and creative invention in
multimedia is virtual reality
 Place you “inside” a lifelike experience.
 Goggles
 Helmets
 Special Gloves

12. Delivering Multimedia :
• Multimedia requires large amounts of digital memory when
stored in an end user’s library.
• Require large amounts of bandwidth when distributed over
wires, glass fiber, or airwaves on a network.
• The greater the bandwidth, the bigger the pipeline, so more
content can be delivered to end users quickly.

13. Delivering Multimedia :
 CD-ROM, DVD, Flash Drives
 CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory) discs can contain
up to 80 minutes of full-screen video, images, or sound.
 The disc can also contain unique mixes of:
Images, sounds, text, video, and animations controlled
by an authoring system to provide unlimited user interaction.

14. Delivering Multimedia :
• Multilayered Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) technology increases
the capacity and multimedia capability of CDs.
– 4.7GB on a single-sided, single-layered disc
– 17.08GB of storage on a double-sided, double-layered disc.
• CD-ROM and DVD discs are interim memory technologies that
will be replaced by new devices such as:
– flash drives that do not require moving parts.

15. Delivering Multimedia :
 The Broadband Internet
• When information providers and content owners determine
the worth of their products
– information elements will ultimately link up online as
distributed resources on a data highway
• Actual glass fiber cables that make up much of the
physical backbone of the data highway
