MULTIMEDIAFILE FORMATS AND STANDARDS

Part-A

1) What is Multimedia Data File Formats for the web?

Multimedia elements (like audio or video) are stored in media files. The most common
way to discover the type of a file, is to look at the file extension. Multimedia files have
formats and different extensions like: .wav, .mp3, .mp4, .mpg, .wmv, and .avi.

2) Define Text, Image File Formats?

Text is a mode of communication used ever since the evolution of humans. It is a very
good medium to convey information, read, learn and teach. In multimedia presentation, text
can be combined with other media to make the presentation more informative and a
powerful mode of expression. Text can be classified as unformatted text, formatted text,
hyper text.
An image file format is a file format for a digital image. There are many formats that
can be used, such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF. The data stored in an image file format may be
compressed or uncompressed.

3) Explain about the Graphics and Animation File Formats.

The format used for the animation is entirely based around how complex the animation is,
where the animation is designed to be used; such as a webpage, and how large the file is for the
animation. Different formats for animations include animated GIFs, Dynamic HTML such
as Java, Shockwave and Flash.

3) What is hypertext?
Hypertext is text which is not constrained to be linear. Hypertext is text which contains
links to other texts. HyperMedia is a term used for hypertext which is not constrained to be
text: it can include graphics, video and sound , for example. Apparently Ted Nelson was the
first to use this term too.Hypertext and HyperMedia are concepts, not products.

4) What is URL?
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a unique identifier used to locate a resource on the
Internet. It is also referred to as a web address. A URL is nothing more than the address of a
given unique resource on the Web.

5) Give the example of image file format.

Including proprietary types, there are hundreds of image file types. The PNG, JPEG,
and GIF formats are most often used to display images on the Internet. Some of these graphic
formats are listed and briefly described below, separated into the two main families of
graphics: raster and vector.

6) Which file formats are used in multimedia?

Multimedia Formats Multimedia elements (like audio or video) are stored in media files.
The most common way to discover the type of a file, is to look at the file extension.
 Multimedia files have formats and different extensions like: .wav, .mp3, .mp4, .mpg, .wmv,
and .avi.

7) List various audio file formats.

There are three major groups of audio file formats: Uncompressed audio formats, such as
WAV, AIFF, AU or raw header-less PCM; Note wav can also use compression as well.
Formats with lossless compression, such as FLAC, Monkey's Audio (filename extension .
ape ), WavPack (filename extension .

8) Define Colour Model.

A color model is a way of specifying or describing a color numerically; common
examples include RGB, HSV and CMYK. For example, in the 24-bit-deep RGB color model,
the intensity of each of the red, green and blue components of the model (8 bits for each
channel) are represented on a scale from 0 to 255.

9) Write Short notes on TIFF.

A TIFF, which stands for Tag Image File Format, is a computer file used to store raster
graphics and image information. A favourite among photographers, TIFFs are a handy way
to store high-quality images before editing if you want to avoid lossy file formats.

10) What is HSV MODEL?

A color model that defines colors by the three parameters hue (H), saturation (S), and value (V).
The HSV color model is an inverted hexagonal cone with black at the apex (V=0) and white at the
center (V=1) of the hexagonal base.
