4. Multimedia =Multi + Media
 Multi : many; much; multiple
 Medium : An intervening substance through which
something is transmitted or carried on; A means of
mass communication such as a newspaper, magazine or

 The information they handle must be
represented digitally.
 The interface to the final presentation of
media is usually interactive

6.  Components of a Multimedia System
 Capture devices
 Video Camera, Video Recorder, Keyboards, mice, 3D input
devices etc.
 Storage Devices
 Hard disks, CD-ROMs, Jaz/Zip drives, DVD, etc
 Communication Networks
