1. What is multimedia? Explain the properties of multimedia systems.

Multimedia is the integration of multiple forms of media such as text, audio, images,

animations, and video into a single presentation or application.

Properties of Multimedia Systems:

- Computer-controlled integration.

- Interactive interface with user input.

- Time-based media handling such as synchronization of audio/video.

- Must support real-time processing and playback.

2. List the functions of metadata.

- Describes the structure, content, and context of multimedia data.

- Facilitates search, indexing, and retrieval in multimedia databases.- Helps

in content classification and data annotation.

- Enables interoperability between systems through standard descriptions.

3. What is hyperlink?

A hyperlink is a reference or link in a digital document that allows users to navigate to

other documents or parts of the same document when clicked. Hyperlinks are

essential in websites and multimedia applications to create interactive navigation

experiences.

4. State pros and cons of MOV file format.

Pros:

- Offers high-quality video and audio compression.


- Supports multiple media tracks including subtitles and audio commentary.-
Compatible with Apple's editing software and QuickTime player.

Cons:

- Larger file size compared to other formats like MP4.

- May face compatibility issues on non-Apple devices.

5. State advantage of Virtual Learning.

Virtual learning allows students to access learning materials from any location using

digital platforms. It supports interactive lessons, flexible timing, personalized learning

paths, and can include multimedia content like videos and simulations for deeper

understanding.

6. What is real-time simulation?

Real-time simulation is a type of simulation where the model operates at the same rate

as the actual process or system. It is commonly used in training environments like flight

simulators, military operations, and medical procedures to mimic real-world behavior

accurately.

7. What is rotoscoping?

Rotoscoping is an animation technique where animators trace over live-action video

footage frame-by-frame to produce realistic movements or to isolate elements for

visual effects. It is often used in film production and video post-processing.


8. What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital content such as images,

sounds, or data onto the physical world through devices like smartphones, AR glasses,

or tablets. It enhances the user's real-world experience by adding interactive digital

layers.

9. What is multimedia ontology?

Multimedia ontology is a structured framework that defines relationships and concepts

used to describe multimedia content. It helps in semantic understanding, content-

based retrieval, and intelligent content organization in multimedia systems.

10. What is multimedia cloud computing?

Multimedia cloud computing refers to using cloud services to store, process, and

deliver multimedia content. It enables scalable and efficient delivery of services like

video streaming, editing, gaming, and media analytics without heavy local

infrastructure.

11. List two challenges in multimedia database.

- Storage Complexity: Multimedia files are large and require efficient storage and

compression techniques.

- Retrieval Difficulty: Searching non-textual content like images, video, and audio is

more challenging due to the need for content-based retrieval and metadata tagging.
12. List out the five classes of BMP.

1. Monochrome Bitmap: Uses 1-bit for black and white images.

2. Grayscale Bitmap: Contains varying shades of gray, usually 8-bit.

3. Indexed Color Bitmap: Uses a color palette (up to 256 colors).

4. True Color Bitmap: 24-bit depth with 8 bits for each RGB component. 5. High Color

Bitmap: Typically 16 or 32 bits per pixel, may include transparency (alpha channel).

13. What are Subtractive colors?

Subtractive colors are colors formed by absorbing (subtracting) light. They are used in

color printing and pigment mixing. The primary subtractive colors are Cyan, Magenta,

and Yellow (CMY), and combining them can create black.

14. What is Virtual Learning?

Virtual learning is a learning method that uses digital tools and internet-based platforms

to deliver educational content. It enables remote access, self-paced learning, and the

inclusion of multimedia content like videos, simulations, and interactive quizzes.

15. State the advantages of simulation.

- Safe Testing: Complex or hazardous situations can be simulated without risks.

- Cost-Effective: Reduces expenses by eliminating the need for physical


prototypes.

- Repeatability: Scenarios can be replayed multiple times for training or analysis.

16. What is Tweening?

Tweening is the animation process of generating intermediate frames between two

keyframes. It helps in creating smooth transitions and is widely used in 2D/3D

animation software for motion interpolation.

17. What is Rigging?

Rigging is the process of creating a digital skeleton for a 3D model. It enables

animators to move and pose characters through a system of bones and joints, allowing

complex animations like walking, facial expressions, and body movement.
