    Chapter One: Introduction to multimedia system

    What is multimedia? two perspectives


    In terms of what multimedia is all about:- refers to
    Storage: Physically storing information/data types on magnetic tape,
    hard disk, CD, DVD etc.)
    Transmission: sending and receiving information by the means of
    communication networks.
    Presentation: physical means(Speaker, monitor/displaying units etc) to
    reproduce information to the user.
     Representation: Describe information in abstract form electronically
    perception: describes the nature of information as perceived by the
    user. Such as speech, music, film etc.
    Based on the word "Multimedia“:
    Multi: refers to multiple/many
    Media: source/ which something transmitted or carried on
    ***system which integrates all types of data such as text, image, audio, video
    and animation.
    …
    General definition
    Multimedia is the field concerned with the computer controlled
    integration of text, graphics, drawings, and moving images
    (video), animation, and any other media where every type of
    information can be represented, stored, transmitted, and processed
    digitally.

    Information presented in more than one format/medium, such as


     text
     graphics Discrete media: time independent
     images
     animation
     audio Continuous media: time dependent
     video
    What is Multimedia Application?
    It is an application which uses a collection of multiple
    media sources e.g. text, graphics, images, sound/audio,
    animation and/or video.
    For example if the computer you are using display teaching
    materials that is capable of flashing text and beeping when there is
    a problem.
    is already a multimedia product which combines text and sound.
    Multimedia and Hypermedia
    Hypertext: is a text which contains links to other texts.
    HyperMedia: is not constrained to be text-based. It can include other
    media, e.g., graphics, images, and especially the continuous media - sound
    and video.
    Hypermedia can be considered as one of the multimedia applications.
    E.g WWW
    History of Multimedia
    1. Newspaper: perhaps the first mass communication medium, uses text,
    graphics, and images.
    2. Motion pictures: conceived of in the 1830's in order to observe motion too
    rapid for perception by the human eye.
    3. Wireless radio transmission: Gugliemo Marconi, at Pontecchio, Italy, in
    1895.
    4. Television: the new medium for the 20th century, established video as a
    commonly available medium and has since changed the world of mass
    communications.
    5. The connection between computers and ideas about multimedia covers
    what is actually only a short period: 1945 -- Vannevar Bush wrote a
    landmark article describing about a hypermedia system called Memex.

    …
    Characteristics of a Multimedia System
    Multimedia systems must be computer controlled
    Multimedia systems are integrated
    The information they handle must be represented digitally
    The interface to the final presentation of media is usually
    interactive
    Challenges for Multimedia Systems
    Real-time communications
    Delay < 0.4 sec in video conference
    Sequencing within the media (time/order frame in video)
    Synchronization (e.g., between video & audio)
    Robustness to transmission error
    Desirable Features for a Multimedia System
    Very High Processing Power
    For Large data processing and real time delivery of media needs Special
    hardware
    Multimedia Capable File System
    Special Hardware/Software needed
    Data Representations/File formats that support multimedia
    should be easy to handle yet allow for compression/decompression in real-time
    Efficient and High I/O
    Input and output to the file subsystem needs to be efficient and fast.
    Storage and Memory
    Large storage units (of the order of 50 -100 Gb or more) and large memory
    (50 -100 Mb or more).
    Network Support
    Software Tools
     User friendly tools needed to handle media, design and develop applications, deliver
    media.
    Application
    World Wide Web
    Video conferencing
    Interactive TV
    Games
    Virtual reality (the creation of artificial environment that you can
    explore, e.g. 3-D images etc)
    Electronic News papers/Magazines
    Groupware (enabling groups of people to collaborate on projects
    and share information)
    Distributed lectures for higher education
    Tele-Medicine
    Digital Libraries
    Digital video editing and production systems
