...Computer-delivered electronic system that allows the user to control, combine, and manipulate different types of media, such as text, audio, video, graphic and animation. The most common multimedia machine consists of a personal computer with a sound card, modem, digital speaker unit, and CD-ROM. Long time as the future revolution in computing, multimedia applications were, until the mid-90s, uncommon due to the expensive hardware required. With increases in performance and decreases in price, however, multimedia is now commonplace. Nearly all PCs are capable of displaying video, though the resolution available depends on the power of the computer's video adapter and CPU. One of the multimedia elements is audio. Audio include music, speech ,or any other sound. Audio and digital music are different from other multimedia elements. This is because the audio and digital music is not related to visual .Audio cannot be seen but can only be heard with the ears only. Computer will result in vibration of air through the speakers or sound box, while our ears detect vibrations in the air. As the sound wave moves away from the vibrating object, the individual molecules do not advance with the wave, they vibrate at what is termed their average resting place until their motion still or they are set in motion are the component that make up a sound wave, frequency, amplitude, velocity, wavelenght, and phrase. Before the continuous wave analog audio can be stored in a computer...

...Multimedia refers to any application that combined several elements of multimedia such as text, graphics, animation, audio and video. A combination of text, audio, animation, video, images/graphics, and interactivity define multimedia. Each appeals to a human sense. The degree and manner to which each is used has the potential to increase learning. The mix of video, audio, and high quality graphics afforded by multimedia may grab the attention of students, particularly poor readers, in ways that traditional approaches to instruction would not (Kenworthy, 1993). In multimedia environments, learners construct meaningful knowledge by "selecting words and selecting images from the presented material, organizing words and organizing images into coherent mental representations, and integrating the resulting verbal and visual representations with one another" (Mayer, 1997, p. 4). Sound The sound is used to provide emphasis or highlight the transition from one page to another. Sound synchronization screen, so that teachers can submit a lot of information. Creative use of sounds to become imaginative stimulus; improper use, it has become an obstacle or an annoyance. The distance between the two properties amount - the acoustic frequency in each peak height of these wave patterns - (sometimes referred to as pitch) peaks. The greater the distance, low voice. Representatives, through video visualization capabilities can be direct and powerful. While this is no doubt, it is how we see...

Introduction to Multimedia Multimedia is a combination of text, art, sound, animation, and video. Text Graphic/ Image Animation Video Audio/ Sound It is delivered to the user by electronic or digitally manipulated means. A multimedia project development requires creative, technical, organizational, and business skills. Introduction to Multimedia Multimedia becomes interactive multimedia when a user is given the option of controlling the elements. Interactive multimedia is called hypermedia when a user is provided a structure of linked elements for navigation. Multimedia developers develop multimedia projects. Introduction to Multimedia The software vehicle, the messages, and the content together constitute a multimedia project. A multimedia project shipped to end-users with or without instructions is called a multimedia title. A project can be Stand-alone or launched on the Web. Introduction to Multimedia Multimedia projects can be linear or nonlinear. Projects that are not interactive are called linear. Example: Power Point Slides, Watching a movie, listening to a story etc., Projects where users are given navigational control are called non-linear and user-interactive. Introduction to Multimedia Authoring tools are used to merge multimedia elements into a project. The software used for building multimedia content. Example:...

...List and briefly discuss the stages of a multimedia project. Be sure to define the milestones that mark the completion of the phase. Firstly, you must develop a sense of its scope and content, having a rough idea in your head on how to design your project. Then I have to develop an organized outline and a plan that is rational in terms of the skills, time, budget, tools, and resources that I have in hand. Scheduling, once I have worked out with my plan that include the phases, tasks and work items that I feel will be required. I have to layout these elements along a timeline. This will usually include milestones at which certain deliverables are to be done. To create a schedule I must estimate the total time required for each task. After scheduling, estimating the cost of the project will be relevant to estimate the entire cost after the project has been completed. It is relatively simple matter to estimate cost and effort, For example, the manufacturing industry. Having a progressive accounts and billing will be saved to review the financial part of the project, for example preparing a cost sheet. Finally, write and structure the elements of the multimedia project. Potential clients do not have a clue about how to make multimedia, but they do have a vision on their project. As a project designer, I will know what, my clients want and how to satisfy them. I occasionally may encounter a more formal request of proposal. This are typically detailed documents from large corporation...

...Multimedia content is something that is presented thru video or audio image. It could be a video presentation or and image with sound in it. There are a lot of formats available to develop all sorts of multimedia content. Many of them are implemented to the current websites. Most of companies that advertise on the internet attach promotion videos or images of their products in order to be able to display them to the customer in the best possible way. Multimedia elements are necessary to deliver the best user experience which could often be the selling point. Multimedia elements can be either a still image or animation which is made of a series or still images. Another multimedia components can be a video footage captured with a camera. Interactivity in multimedia is when then media receives input from the user as form of communication and then interpreters that information to process calculations that create an output to be displayed back to the user. The two way communication between the user and media content allows the developers to create more advanced and user friendly interfaces. Major developments in multimedia technology was the release of laser disk technology that enabled the user to access high quality analogue image on the computer screen. The fall of the hardware costs made these technologies more widely available which led to massive expansion of the internet and video games industry that allowed this industry to develop rapidly and create competition to television...

...Aspects of Interactivity, Hypertext and Hypermedia, and Social Media: Facebook, Friendster, Blogs and Second Orality, Construction of Reality and Multimedia and Ideology Synopsis Paper by: 2000-54307 ARADA, Blancaflor P. The Media Construction of Reality As I read this article, I remembered the Manila hostage crisis last August 23, 2010. Because Philippine media wanted to report factual details and information, the news network became too involved with the hostage crisis. Based on Wikipedia entry, “TV5 news anchor Erwin Tulfo remained in permanent contact with Mendoza, while superintendent Orlando Yebra and chief inspector Romeo Salvador led the negotiations. By this time, several major television channels in Manila and Hong Kong had replaced their programmes with non-stop live coverage of the hostage situation, and live footage became available worldwide. The news networks were allowed to film police activity, and as the bus was equipped with a television, the gunman was able to watch and find out what the police were doing, and was even able to find the locations of snipers” (Wikipedia, 2013). What made Mendoza snapped out was when his brother and son were taken away by the police in the live television coverage. This resulted to a failed hostage rescue attempt because eight (8) hostages were killed. It may be the Philippine National Police’s fault, or Mayor Alfredo Lim’s or Vice-Mayor Isko Moreno’s, or even President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s, but there is no doubt that...

...and software that you haven't paid for. Not paying people for their creative work isn't just an ethical issue, it's illegal. Under U.S. copyright law, offenders could be punishable by up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines. We need to educate everyone on these issues and make sure you are downloading from authentic software from authorized sources to avoid pitfalls of piracy. We also need to lead by example with our kids today by letting them know cheap and easy downloads are not always better, they are usually illegal and can be harmful to your computer. How has education affected your views about the practice of downloading or copying multimedia content in these fields? Education has affected my view about the practice of downloading or copying multimedia content in these fields because downloading or copying multimedia content for free can cost the music or movie industry millions of dollars and the people who work or are involved in the industry like movie rental places and movie theaters could cost people jobs or put them out of business. Theoretically it has a negative effect on the whole economy. Illegal Downloads: When Sharing Becomes Stealing by Caroline...

People want to use the Internet not only for text and image communications, but also for audio and video services. We concentrate on applications that use the Internet for audio and video services. 1. INTRODUCTION Audio & video services is divided in 3 parts: * streaming stored audio/video, * streaming live audio/video, * interactive audio/video In the first category, streaming stored audio/video, the files are compressed and stored on a server. A client downloads the files through the Internet. This is sometimes referred to as on-demand audio/video. Examples of stored audio files are songs, symphonies, books on tape, and famous lectures. Examples of stored video files are movies, TV shows, and music video clips. In the second category, streaming live audio/video, a user listens to broadcast audio and video through the Internet. A good example of this type of application is the Internet radio. Some radio stations broadcast their programs only on the Internet; many broadcast them both on the Internet and on the air. Internet TV is not popular yet, but many people believe that TV stations will broadcast their programs on the Internet in the future. In the third category, interactive audio/video, people use the Internet to interactively communicate with one another. A good example of this application is Internet telephony and Internet teleconferencing...

...Multimedia, or mixed-media, systems offer presentations that integrate effects existing in a variety of formats, including text, graphics, animation, audio, and video. Such presentations first became commercially available in very primitive form in the early 1980s, as a result of advances that have been made in digital compression technology-- particularly the difficult area of image compression. Multimedia online services are obtainable through telephone/computer or television links, multimedia hardware and software exist for personal computers, networks, the internet, interactive kiosks and multimedia presentations are available on CD-ROMs and various other mediums. The use of multimedia in our society has it benefits and it’s drawbacks, most defiantly. Some of the more computer-related uses of multimedia, such as electronic publishing, the internet, and computers in education will be discussed in depth thought this paper. Electronic publishing is the publishing of material in a computer-accessible medium, such as on a CD-ROM or on the Internet. In a broader sense of the term it could also include paper products published with the aid of a desktop publishing program, or any form of printing that involves the use of a computer. Reference works became available in the mid-1980s both in CD-ROM format and online. Increasingly, in the 1990s, magazines, journals, books, and newspapers have become available in an electronic format, and some are ...
