This chapter discusses the use of video in multimedia. It presents a list of topics that will be
covered, such as considering the implications of using digital video in multimedia, discussing
analog and digital video technologies and screens, working with digital video containers and
codecs, finding and acquiring video clips, and filming and editing video for multimedia
use.the amount of storage required for high-quality video images and the need for
compression. video works and is displayed, detailing the use of a charge-coupled device
(CCD) and the difference between analog and digital video.
Analog video
the differences between analog and digital video signals. The analog video section explains
how the output from a CCD camera is processed into three color information channels and
sync pulses, which are then recorded onto magnetic tape. It discusses various methods for
separating components of the signals, including component, S-video, and composite formats.
It also explains analog video and audio recording on tape using a rotating recording head that
follows a spiral path, and describes tracking as the fine adjustment of the tape during
playback to ensure proper alignment of the tracks.
The text includes a diagram illustrating the tape path through the video head for analog
recording and explains how videocassette devices add video and audio signals to a subcarrier.
Additionally, it discusses various analog video standards, including NTSC, PAL, and
SECAM, highlighting their characteristics and differences in terms of frame rates and color
encoding methods. This image provides a comprehensive understanding of how
videocassettes function and the technical standards that govern their operation.
1. NTSC (National Television System Committee): This system is primarily used in North
America and parts of South America. NTSC operates at a frame rate of 29.97 frames per
second and utilizes a resolution of 480i (interlaced). It is known for its color encoding
method, which can sometimes result in color inconsistencies, particularly in older televisions.
2. PAL (Phase Alternating Line): Predominantly used in Europe, Asia, and Australia, PAL
operates at a frame rate of 25 frames per second and offers a higher resolution of 576i. One of
the main advantages of PAL is its improved color stability compared to NTSC, which results
in better overall image quality.
3. SECAM (Séquentiel Couleur À Mémoire): This system is mainly found in France and
some parts of Africa and Eastern Europe. SECAM also operates at a frame rate of 25 frames
per second but uses a different method for color encoding that involves sequential color
transmission. This leads to certain advantages in terms of signal transmission but can
complicate compatibility with other systems.
The image contains text that outlines the history of HDTV, detailing its development and key
milestones:
1. **Inception of HDTV**: The initiative for High Definition Television (HDTV) began in
the 1980s, spearheaded by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United
States. This marked the start of efforts to improve television quality and resolution.
5. **Transition from Analog to Digital**: The transition to DTV marked a significant change
in U.S. television broadcasting, leading to improved clarity, sound quality, and the ability to
deliver additional services like high-definition programming and digital video content.
Overall, the text provides a comprehensive overview of how HDTV developed over time and
its impact on television technology.
Digital video
consists of three main components: a compression algorithm (for encoding video and audio),
a container file format to store the compressed data, and a media player that can interpret and
display the contents. Common container formats include Ogg (.ogg), Flash Video (.flv),
MPEG (.mp4), QuickTime (.mov), Windows Media Format (.wmv), WebM (.webm), and
RealMedia (.rm).
Obtaining video clips
video clips for a project. It suggests considering what videos are needed and how to obtain them,
whether through stock footage or television stations. It also notes that securing usage rights can be
complex and expensive, with costs ranging from $50 to $100 per second of video for licensing. Lastly,
it mentions that materials produced by federal agencies may be in the public domain, but caution
should be taken regarding copyright issues.
Before you venture into the field with your camcorder, it's crucial to grasp the fundamentals of video
recording and editing, along with the limitations of incorporating video into a multimedia project.
* A fast processor
* Ample RAM
* A computer with FireWire (IEEE 1394 or i.Link) or a USB connection and appropriate cables
* A fast, large hard drive
* A secondary monitor to provide additional workspace for your editing software
* External speakers
* Nonlinear editing (NLE) software
Storyboarding
Storyboarding is essential for efficient video production. A well-planned storyboard saves time,
reduces frustration, and controls costs. It's a visual roadmap, guiding the entire process from initial
concept to final product. Good lighting is crucial for professional-looking video. Even simple lighting
techniques can dramatically improve the quality of your shots, particularly when working with low
light levels or inexpensive equipment. Experiment to understand how lighting affects the overall
visual impact of your video.
Lighting
Effective video production begins with meticulous pre-planning, ideally through storyboarding. This
process, akin to a visual script, streamlines the entire production, minimizing wasted resources and
optimizing workflow.
Chroma keys
Chroma filters allow you to choose a color or range of colors that become transparent, allowing the
video image to be seen "through" the computer image. This is the technology used by a newscast's
weather person, who is shot against a blue background that is made invisible when merged with the
electronically generated image of the weather map. The weatherman controls the computer part of
the display with a small handheld controller.
Blue screen is a popular technique for making multimedia titles because expensive sets are not
required. Incredible backgrounds can be generated using 3-D modeling and graphic software, and
one or more actors, vehicles, or other objects can be neatly layered onto that background. Video
editing applications provide the tools for this.
When you are shooting blue screen, be sure that the lighting of the screen is absolutely even;
fluctuations in intensity will make this "filter
