MULTIMEDIA MAGIC!
Multimedia applications are used in all sorts of fields. For example, museums, banks, and
estate agents often have information kiosks that use multimedia; companies produce training
programs on optical discs; business people use Microsoft Power Point to create slideshows;
and teachers use multimedia to make video projects or to teach subjects like art and music.
They have all found that moving images and sound can involve viewers emotionally as well
as inform them, helping make their message more memorable.
The power of multimedia software resides in hypertext, hypermedia, and interactivity
(meaning the user is involved in the program). If you click on the hypertext link, you can
jump to another screen with more information about a particular subject. Hypermedia is
similar, but also uses graphics, audio and video as hypertext elements.
As long as your computer has a sound card, you can use it to capture sounds in digital
format and play back. Sound cards offer two important capabilities, a built-stereo synthesizer
and a system called MIDI or Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic
musical instruments to communicate with computers. A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)
lets you mix and record several tracks of digital audio.
You can also listen to music on your PC, or transfer it into a portable MP3 player. MP3 is
short for MPEG audio layer 3, a standard format that compresses audio files. If you want to
create your own MP3 from CDs, you must have a CD ripper, a program that extracts music
tracts and saves them on disks as MP3s.
Audio is becoming a key element of the Web. Many radio stations broadcast live over
Internet using streaming audio technology, which lets you listen to audio in a continuous
stream while it is being transmitted. The broadcast of an event over the Web, for example a
concert, is called webcast. Be aware that you won’t be able play audio and video on the Web
unless you have the plug-in like RealPlayer or QuickTime.
Video is another important part of multimedia. Video computing refers to recording,
manipulating, and storing video in digital format. If you wanted to make a movie on your
computer, first you need to capture images with a digital video camera and transfer them to
your computer. Next, you would need a video editing program like iMovie to cut your
favorite segments, re-sequence the clips and add transitions and other effects. Finally, you
could save your movie on a DVD or post it on websites like YouTube and Google Video.
Multimedia is used to produce dictionaries and encyclopedias. They often come on
DVDs, but some are also available on the Web. A good example is the Grolier Online
Encyclopedia, which contains thousands of articles, animations, sounds, dynamic maps, and
hyperlinks. Similarly, the Encyclopedia Britannica is now available online, and a concise
version is available for iPods, PDAs and mobile phones. Educational courses on history,
science and foreign languages are also available on DVD. Finally, if you like entertainment,
you’ll love the latest multimedia video games with surround sound, music soundtracks, and
even film extracts.
