Introduction to Multimedia
 The shared digital representation that combines different media together can
be loosely called Multimedia.

 Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through


audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (i.e., text,
graphics/drawings, images).
Basic Elements of Multimedia
Types of Multimedia
• Linear active content progresses often without any
navigational control for the viewer such as a cinema
presentation

• Non-linear uses interactivity to control progress as with


a video game or self-paced computer based training.

Linear
Applications of Multimedia
• In education, teachers can use
multimedia presentations to
make lessons more interesting
by using animations to highlight
or demonstrate key points.
Applications of Multimedia
• A multimedia presentation can
also make it easier for pupils to
read text rather than trying to
read a teacher’s writing on the
board.
• Programs which show pictures
and text whilst children are
reading a story can help them
learn to read; these too are a
form of multimedia
presentation.
Applications of Multimedia
• The Internet has many
multimedia elements
embedded in web pages and
web browsers support a variety
of multimedia formats.
• Many computer games use
soundtracks, 3D graphics and
video clips
Applications of
Multimedia
• Video Conferencing

• Video-on-demand

• Interactive TV

• Home Shopping

• Games

• Virtual Reality

• Digital video editing and production systems


Visualization
How to represent a particular data, information etc..
 Pie Charts/Bar Charts generated from a spread sheet
 Three-Dimensional Data Representations
 Time Varying Presentations for complex dynamic system

Linear or Non-Linear Behaviors


 Block Buster Movies
 Web Sites
 TV Programs

Creativity
 Keen Observations
 Target Audience
 Lots of exposure to similar area
 In-depth Analysis
 Re Creation in a better way
 Open to Criticism
Delivery of Multimedia
• Online Delivery
 Uses a network to send information from computer, often server
machine providing centralized storage of bulky data, to another,
usually a personal computer on somebody’s desk.
 The network can be LAN, Internet (World Wide Web)

• Offline Delivery
 Uses some removable storage medium
 CD ROMs/DVDs
Multimedia Production
• Making of Multimedia requires software not only for preparation of individual media
elements, but for their integration in to finished production.
• Authoring Systems
 Programs that allow a designer to assemble different media elements in space and
time and add interactive behavior to them.
 Multimedia authoring involves organising, structuring and presenting information in
the form of a digital multimedia, which can incorporate text, audio, and still and
moving images.
 Story Boards
 Mean of making and communicating multimedia designs.
 Used in large animation studios, and by music videos and advertisement producers, to
plan the construction of a piece of work, and to communicate its structure among the
team producing it.
 A sequence of still picture showing the composition of shots at key points in
production.
 So it plans the work, which can be used to organize its subsequent development.
 Linear in behavior like a comic strip.
• Initial Storing Board
• After Multimedia Production
User Interface
Terminology
• What do we call a mixture of media under software control?

• Multimedia Production
- Where the display and presentation of media elements is a sole purpose - Web
Page or an encyclopedia on CD-ROM

• Multimedia Application
- Where the display of the multimedia is more closely bound up with
computation.
- Any Computer application that contain or use Multimedia elements.
