1) Discuss difference between Multimedia & hypermedia?

Multimedia: is an application which uses a collection of multiple media sources like text,
graphics, images, sound/audio, animation/video.
Hypermedia: application which uses associative relationships among information
contained within multiple media data for the purpose of facilitating access and
manipulation of the information encapsulated by the data

2) Main components of multimedia


1- Capture devices: video camera, video recorder, microphone, keyboard, graphic tablets
2- Storage devices: hard disks, CD-ROMS, DVD
3- Communication networks: Ethernet, token rings, ATM, intranets, internets
4- Computer systems: multimedia desktop machines, workstations, MPEG/VIDEO/DSP
hardware
5- Display devices: CD-quality, speakers, color printers, HDTV

3) Multimedia characteristics:
1- Multimedia system must be computer controlled
2- Multimedia systems are integrated
3- The information they handle must be represented digitally
4- The interface to the final presentation of media is usually interactive

4) Describe what is multimedia?


Multimedia is a form of communication that combines different content form such as
text, audio, images, animations, or video into a single presentation, in contrast to
traditional mass media.

5) Is multimedia simply collection of different types of media?


Yes, multimedia is simply multiple forms of media integrated together

6) Identify three novel multimedia application. Discuss why you think


these are novel and their potential impact
(not sure of the answer)
audio, image, video
Because the information is easier to understand

7) Discuss the relation between multimedia and hypermedia


(not sure of the answer)
Multimedia means (multiple type of media)
Hypermedia means (media with hyperlinks to other media)
8) Calculate the image storage required for image resolution 640 X 480 for
the following image types: 1-Bit (binary) Image, 8-Bit (Gray-Level
Image), 8-Bit Color Image (GIF image), 24-Bit (BMP) Color Image.

• The 1-Bit binary image:


▪ each pixel is stored in one bit, so the storage required for a (640 X 480) 1-
Bit binary image = 640 × 480 = 307200 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐬
640 × 480
= = 37.5 𝐾𝐵
8 × 1024

• The 8-Bit True Gray image:


▪ each pixel is stored in 1 byte (8-bits), so storage required for a (640 x 480)
True Gray image = 640 × 480 = 307200 𝐁𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐬
640 × 480
= = 300 𝐾𝐵
1024
• The 8-Bit GIF Color image:
▪ each pixel is stored in 1 byte (8-bits), so storage required for a (640 x 480)
GIF color image = 640 × 480 = 307200 Bytes
640 × 480
= = 300 𝐾𝐵
1024
• The 24-Bit BMP True Color image:
▪ each pixel is stored in 3 bytes (24-bits), so storage required for a (640 x 480) BMP
True color image = 640 × 480 × 3 = 921600 𝐵𝑦𝑡𝑒𝑠
640 × 480 × 3
= = 900 𝐾𝐵
1024

9) Design two webpages to represent the MTI- Computers & Information


collage as the following:
▪ Main webpage contains all college information:
(Logo, title, objective, mobile, address, E-mail & Link to CS & IS
webpage).
▪ CS & IS webpage including two lists, one for CS subjects of the last
term and other list for IS subjects in the last term.
▪ Using a suitable font, background & foreground colors

10) How the Image represented:
• The image is represented by a matrix, each point of the matrix called a pixel.
• The gray image is represented by one matrix.
• The colored image (BMP) is represented by three matrices (RGB):
▪ One for red.
▪ One for green.
▪ One for blue.

11) Discuss the image resolution:


• Is the detail an image hold
• Multi-width and height gives the total number of pixel in image
• Higher resolution means more pixel per inch (PPI)
• Lower resolution image has fewer pixels

12) Discuss the image quality:


• Refer to level of accuracy in which different imaging system capture, process, store,
compress, transmit, and display the signals that form an image.

13) What are the most common Image formats?


• BMP: Bitmap (main image format displayed on monitors). “stores the graphic/image
data in the same manner that the computer monitor contents are stored in video
memory”
• PBM: portable bitmap. “a family of text and binary representations”
• JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Group. “a standard with several different image
representations”
• GIF: Graphic Interchange Format. “originally developed by CompuServe”
• TIFF: Tagged Image File Format. “a standard with lossless compression”
• PNG: Portable Network Graphics. “developed as non-proprietary alternative GIF”
• EXIF: Exchange Image File. “image format for digital cameras”

14) discuss what is meant by the terms static media and dynamic media
static media: refers to content that doesn’t change
example: advertisement in a newspaper or magazine.
dynamic media: the elements that change in every video
example: websites, social networking, online forums.
15) Explain the dithering technique using to expand the number of gray
level value
• Dithering is used for displaying monochrome images, or for printing on a 1-bit
printer.
• Dithering is used to calculate longer patterns of dots (values from 0 →255) (0 dark,
255 white).
• The main strategy is to replace a pixel value by a larger pattern, say 2 x 2 or 4 x 4,
such that the number of printed dots approximates the varying sized disks of ink used
in halftone printing

16) What are the most common Image types?


• 1-bit image (Binary image):
▪ Each pixel is stored in 1 bit.
▪ Image resolution 640x480.
• 8-bit gray level (true gray image):
▪ Each pixel is stored in 1 byte.
▪ Image resolution 640x480.
• 8-bit color image (GIF):
▪ Each pixel is stored in 1 byte.
▪ Image resolution 640x480.
▪ Look-up table is used.
• 24-bit Color image (BMP):
▪ Each pixel is stored in 3 bytes. (Pixel RGB)
▪ Image resolution 256x256x256

17) Explain how to convert the 8-Bits Color Image to 24-Bits Color Image
Color lookup table LUT is used to convert image type GIF to BMP by displaying the
colors associated with index values from 0 to 255. The LUT is a 2-dimensional array with
3 columns (Red Green Blue) and with the variations of each color from 0 to 255 in 255
rows.

Other questions:
1) Explain the multimedia authoring and describe briefly the most common three
metaphors?
2) what is meant by MIDI? how is a basic MIDI message structured?
3) Explain how can MIDI be used effectively in multimedia musical applications?
4) What is the purpose of using “chroma” sub-sampling with the digital video? Why
is it feasible?
