Following are the elements of Multimedia such as:
1) Text :-
- Text is a most popular and widely used to represent the information.
- Text includes words, sentences and perhaps to communicates the thoughts, ideas and
facts.
- A text technology is based on creating letters, paragraphs, numbers, characters, such
as dolor sign, comma for build specific information.
- Text elements are as follows:
i) Alphabet Characters :-
It includes A to Z uppercase letters and a to z lowercase letters.
ii) Number’s :-

ir
It includes 0 to 9 numbers or digits.

dg
iii) Special Characters :-
U
It includes $ , * , , , + , - , ‚ ‚ , ‘ ‘ , etc
2) Graphics :-
rti
- Graphics includes pictures, clip arts, line arts, and photographs.
ha

- Graphics are used to provide backgrounds, informational contains for multimedia

products.
ab

- Graphics are created by using verify of tools such as: MS- Paint any other drawing
w

Software.
sh

3) Audio :-
- Audio includes switches, music and any other type of sound.
Vi

- The main element of audio is sound.

- Sound is generated by vibration through air.
- Audio includes effect of switches used for multimedia packages.
- Digital audio is actual representation of sound.
- Audio are used to stored in a files in the verify if formats such as .AIFF (Audio
Interchange File Format ), .WAV file, MIDI ( Musical Instrument Digital Interface ),
.RA ( Real Audio ) and so on.
4) Video :-
- Digital video combines Audio and graphics to the dynamic content for the
multimedia products.

- Video is simply moving a picture often momentary (short period) view if time.
- Digital video is used to capture the content from the film and Television for
multimedia products.
- Digital video consists of many more than moving clips taken from existing film
resources.
- It also recording live actions usually capture from digital Camera’s.
- Video are used in a files in the verify of formats such as .AVI ( Audio Video
Interleave)
- MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group)
- .AMV (Audio Music Video) and so on.
5) Animation :-

ir
- Animation is the motion of a picture to display specific information.

dg
- In Animation first draw the no. of images by using input process.
- Combines these images by using composition stage.
U
- Crating a series of images by using CLUT that is ( Color Look Up Table)
rti
- Techniques animations are morphing kinematics, 2D, 3D, etc.
- For Example: Manipulating and moving of an object along a vector or path.

 Application of Multimedia :-
- Multimedia is a widely used in the heterogeneous environment and places from
w

classroom to star hotels and research labs to Movie Theater.

sh

- Following are the applications Multimedia such as:

Vi

1) MM in Business
2) MM in Education
3) MM Home
4) MM in Public Places
5) Presentation MM
6) MM for Entertainment
7) Document Image

1) MM in Business :-
- MM is widely used in Business. In Business multimedia can be used is marketing
advertisement and presentations.
- Video conferencing is most effective tool in Business.
- Video conferencing is widely use as transfer information as well as training purpose.
2) MM in Education :-
- MM is widely in education sector. These education sectors are as School, Colleges.
- Now a days, in school used is traditional teaching methods is making in MM
application such as presentation of LCD projector and some animated movies
designed for student.

ir
- For study, each lesion gets records student can play them and when they can

dg
understands better.
3) MM Home :- U
- It has already entered our home in terms of television set.
rti
- It has become very powerfully.
ha

- Now a day’s everyone is making the use of DTH service provide by service provider.
ab

- It also provides education kits or program’s and games to make child intelligent.
4) MM in Public Places :-
w

- MM is widely used in public places such as Air Stations, Bus Stands, and Hospitals
sh

etc.
Vi

- If kiosks have been setup at different places, so that we can get lot of information
about needed by us through it.
- At the Post Office, if kiosks have been setup, so that we can get lot of information
about different skims under the Central Post.
5) Presentation MM :-
- It is widely used in Boardroom presentation.
- That may have even include CBT’s ( Computer Based Training)
- They generally presented by using LCD’s and other presentation display systems.

6) MM for Entertainment :-
- We can watch different T.V. shows cartoon films as well as different videos and we
can also placed computer based games.
- MM is widely used in Home application like as; we can watch No. of T.V. channels
from different countries at our Home.
7) Document Image :-
- It is used to create the combination of text and images.
- Document imaging is widely used in low offices, countries and State Govt.
- Document imaging is the process of scanning that is used to paper document
converted into digital images and stored in CD’s or DVD’s.

BCATY Multimedia System (S6.2)

1) Device Domain :-
- That contains digital audio and video technology that is based on digital signal
processing.
- Different methods of processing the image, graphics and animation for processing are
descried.
- Audio technology includes switches, music and any other type of sound
- Video technology includes the digital representation by using T.V. development and
HDTV Medias demands of compression techniques.
- Storage devices like as CD’s, DVD’s and other removable disks are used to storing
different Medias.
- On the hand N/W’s with their higher bandwidth and higher storage capacity for

ir
transmission the different Medias LED to networked multimedia applications.

dg
2) System Domain :-
- An interface between system and device domain is specific by computer technology.
U
- Operating system servers an interface between computer Software and Hardware
rti
components.
ha

- Operating system provides services by using computer resources such as, main
memory, processor, Input and output devices
ab

- Database system allows a structured data access and management of large amount of
database.
w

- A communication system is responsible for transmission of all Medias in the form of

sh

timing and reliability in networked Multimedia application.

3) Application Domain:-
Vi

- The services of system domain are offered to the application domain through the
proper programming abstractions.
- The Examples of programming abstraction are programming longs or Object
Oriented Hierarchy application domain contains a document handling.
- A document is the structured set of information presented in different Medias and
representing or recording at the time of presentation.
- That provides to the user through a user interface.
4) Cross Domain:-
- The synchronization is being the temporal relationship among various Medias.
- That relates to many components across the all domains.

pictures are displayed.
v) UDTV :-
- It stands for Ultra Definition Television.
- It supports 3000 lines and to provide above 60 pictures per second.

ir
2) Hypermedia :-

dg
- The users or developers can use the different elements on the
internet. U
- The best Example of Hypermedia is WWW that is World Wide Web.
rti
- The designer provided the linked element structure on the web that is
ha

interactive media.
- Such as interactive multimedia is called as Hypermedia.
ab

- Hypermedia has its root in Hypertext.

w

- Network speed and computing efficiency Hypermedia document can manipulate

sh

multimedia application such as ‘Messaging’.

Vi

- User or developer can send or receiving the messages on the different sites is available
on the internet.
- That is they provide hyper speech.
3) 3D – Technology and Holography :-
- 3D technology provides important two areas such as painting devices and displays.
- Pointing devices are used to manipulating the objects on 3D displays are as: stereo
displays, valuementic displays etc.
- These are used to holography techniques.
- Holography means, creating the images by using laser bimce.
- It also used to RGB color combination 3D effects.

4) Fuzzy Logic :-
- Fuzzy logic is actually works with DSP’s that is Digital Signal Processors.
- DSP is a development of fuzzy logic signal processors (FLP’s).
- It provides interesting multimedia to being addressed by using fuzzy logic.
- It also provides graphics data comparison and images voices or so all
5) DSP :-
- DSP stands by Digital Signal Processing.
- DSP chips are used to different applications such as: European digital cellular
telephone systems, digital serves in hard disk drivers and facts.

ir
- DSP architecture contains memory management and hard drivers and drives and

dg
multitasking.
- A synchronization and communication multiple timer services (set the clock) devices
U
independent to input and output.
