3. Introduction to Multimedia
MULTIMEDIA REFERS TO THE CONTENTS THAT USES A COMBINATION OF
DIFFERENT MEDIA FORMS. MULTIMEDIA INCLUDES A COMBINATION
OF TEXT, AUDIO, GRAPHICS, ANIMATION, VIDEO, OR ANY SIMILAR
INTERACTIVE CONTENT.
PRESENTATION USING ONLY A SINGLE MEDIUM WILL NOT BE AS
EFFECTIVE.
THE DIFFERENT FORMS OF MEDIA CAN BE USED TO PRESENT A
ORGANIZED DETAILED EXPLANATION. THIS MAKES A PRESENTATION
ATTRACTIVE, INTERESTING AND MORE UNDERSTANDABLE . (E.G. THIS
PRESENTATION )
ANY TECHNOLOGY THAT COMBINES MORE THAN ONE MEDIUM IN ORDER
FOR INFORMATION PRESENTATION IS KNOWN AS MULTIMEDIA
TECHNOLOGY.
MULTIMEDIA COMPUTER APPLICATIONS ARE STORED IN COMPACT DISK
BECAUSE OF ITS PORTABILITY, CHEAP PRICE, AND HIGH STORAGE
PROPERTIES.(KNOWN AS MULTIMEDIA CD)
MANY ARE INTERACTIVE SUCH AS TUTORIAL CD, ENCARTA, TOFEL ETC.

4. Multimedia seems to provide many advantageous
aspects.
Some the major advantages are,
● Allows a user to present ideas, views and
other information in an attractive,
interesting and effective ways.
● Helps to present complex ideas and
procedures in a simplified way.
● Information presented through these sources
are easier to remember and think back to.
● Makes teaching processes much easier.
● Multimedia CDs help people learn various
topics through interaction process.
● Helps in making movies and games realistic.
● Larger level of presentation can be
expressed with help of a large screen display
hardware(TV/Monitors) or a multimedia
projector and screen.

5. ˜ CONS OF MULTIMEDIA ˜
Having a multimedia and presenting is a great thing but there
are factors and disadvantages to keep in mind.
Some disadvantages are
• Only someone with knowledge of extensive multimedia
software and production can develop a quality multimedia
show.
• Even a professional can face problems when file size and
data corruptions and overload takes place.
• Cost of developing a quality multimedia is also quite high
• Not all devices are compatible for multimedia
• Time for compilation of resources and suitable skins for
programs is quite extra
• In this age of communication uploading to internet is quite a
common thing but these productions must consider factors as
size, bandwidth etc.

6. Components of Multimedia
Multimedia is composed by many integrated forms
of media. These media sources are implemented
together to form something called as multimedia. A
single form of media never gathers attention but
when combined and formatted it turns to make a
really good presentation and output of multimedia.
The components of multimedia are the subjects
which are put in involvement in order to create
multimedia.
The components are TEXT, GRAPHIC, AUDIO,
VIDEO and ANIMATION.

7. TEXT
Text is the most basic component of
multimedia. Texts are alphanumeric characters
used for presenting information such as this
description. Texts can be made quite creatively
and distinctively by using fonts, font colours,
or special effects such as shadow,
bouncing or fading .
Combined with other media it enhances the
presentation.
Computer text processing started with Kleene’s formalizing,
also as regular language. These regular expressions were
able to be mini programs, complete with compilation
process which allows editing.
Bascially editor invokes an input stream and directs it to the
text processing environment. Resulting output is later made
for further text processing

8. • Some common graphic files are
TIFF(Tagged Image File Format)
• Graphic refers to the digital form
of image, drawing or a
photograph.
• PNG(Portable Network Graphics)
• JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts
Group)
• GIF(Graphics Interface Format)
• BMP(Bitmap)
• This medium can be used with text
to provide a better clearer
information.
• Display
screens were
available
during 1895
but were not
interactive
• In 1960 “computer graphics” was
an official term. This was period of
2D image development and
arcade games. The next decades
featured rendered 3D images
while our age has limitless
boundaries

9. AudioAudio refers to music, speech or any other form of
digital sound. There are different types/formats of
sound such as WAV,MP3. (MPEG-1,MPEG-2, Audio Layer
3) are referred as MP3. Audio medium is preferably
used with animation to present information.
The audio sector has developed quite dramatically
nowadays, with HD recorder on a handheld mobile
phone and 3D surround sound.
It all started with Edison and his invention of the
phonograph, the first sound recording machine. As
computers overtook 8-bit sound was quite popular in
arcade games etc. Magnetic tapes were used for storing
sounds earlier but portable devices have taken mark.
Dolby digital is one of the best up to date sound
quality and engineering. The first production was in
the movie Batman Begins

10. Animation medium is one of the most
effective media for presenting
information. Animation refers to the
fast movement of sequence of image
artwork. It is used to explain in short
interval of time such as movies,
cartoons, education.
Animation
The earliest production for computer
graphics/animation began since
digital art interest during the 1940s.
During the 1970s 2D graphics had
really made its mark.
3D production escalated during 1980s
with software also developing. During
1990s CGI was also established.
Toy story(1995) was the first feature
length CGI based movie. Animation
has taken great mark in multimedia.

11. Video medium is the most advanced and
effective medium for presenting
information. It presents the movement of
sequence of real images of real event.
Video features both sound and picture
media. It is one of the best way to present
information in short time. It is usually
retained longer in the memory.
The first video technology was based on
CRT display. When things became
successful people decided on improving
the frame rate, quality and aspect ratio.
Nowadays 4K display has been quite
popular and up to 8K resolution is found
online. Movies are the basic concept of a
video.

12. Multimedia computer system is a special
computer with special hardware and
software. It is compatible of handling or
presenting multiple mediums
simultaneously.
These can be developed to use multimedia
applications and produce multimedia.
A multimedia computer features software
such as VLC media player, Windows media
player, Video etc. for playing multimedia. TO
produce multimedia it uses software as MS
PowerPoint, Macromedia Flash, Adobe
Photoshop, Animator pro, 3D studio Max,
Corel Draw, Paint tool Sai etc.

13. A multimedia computer
requires good system for a
fully productive function.
Requirements of a Multimedia computer
High speed microprocessor
High temporary memory RAM
High storage hard disk
Good quality sound card
High resolution graphics
card, display hardware etc.

14. Multimedia is used in teaching
and learning. It is used to make
this process more interesting
and effective. It enables
students to understands lessons
quickly and effectively.
It helps in tutoring to teach things in
depth and from a different angle.
Many educational form of multimedia
are found. Computer based training
such asTOEFL ,GRE, GMA help
student gain addition knowledge

15. Business
Multimedia in business sectors is used
for promotion of products. It is usually
provided with functions to help project
data, plans and statistics. This makes
an interactive situation for employees
to work in their business.
Multimedia is also used to train
employees, educate customers, and
for similar purposes. It also provides
tutorial in a commercial basis and
provides production to a better scale.

16. Advertising
Advertising is also a major part
of multimedia. Multimedia is
taken to make any
advertisement more detailed
and specific to promote
production and business.

17. Multimedia is most developed and
widely used for the entertainment
sector. All videos and computer
games are based on multimedia.
Using multimedia makes games
and software more interactive and
interesting.
The first video game was
Chess followed by Tic-
Tac-Toe. These were
initially programmed to
make logical moves and
practice.

18. Multimedia is widely used in web pages. It helps to
present information in a web pages more clearly. It
uses various factors/ components of multimedia to
offer quality presentation in the web. This has led to
new levels of development of categorized webpages.
Multimedia on web features many
different ways of describing and
presenting information. Factors such
as GIF image is used for ads, online
emoji stickers etc. Also online server
has many features helping people gain
more access.

19. It is used in the entertainment industry, such
as 3D movies, 6D films, reality headsets. This
allows interaction through various devices.
Virtual reality is a computer-simulated
artificial environment representing various
features and human senses of the real world.
Virtual reality also provides the facility to
train difficult jobs such as flight pilot,
surgery/operation etc. Such programs called as
simulator help people to work in a controlled
based artificial environment. It has also
reached a commercial level.
