...video content and the economics of video content delivery. Every time a digital video disc is played, a video is watched on YouTube, an NFL clip is viewed on a Sprint-based cellular phone, or a movie is ordered through an on-demand cable television video service, the viewer is watching data that is not in the state it which it originated. Video in an unmodified state is comprised of vast quantities of data (Apostopoulos & Wee, 2000). In order to make effective and efficient usage of video data, some method of reducing the quantity of data is necessary. Apostopoulos and Wee, in their 2000 paper, “Video Compression Standards” explain this succinctly and well, “For example, consider the problem of video transmission within high-definition television (HDTV). A popular HDTV video format is progressively scanned 720x1280 pixels/frame, 60 frames/s video signal, with 24-bits/pixel (8 bits for red, green, and blue), which corresponds to a raw data rate of about 1.3 Gbits/sec. Modern digital communication systems can only transmit approximately 20 Mb/s in the 6MHz bandwidth allocated for each terrestrial (over-the-air) television broadcast channel. Therefore, powerful video compression techniques are applied to compress the video by a factor of about 70 in order to send the video, with a raw data rate of 1.3 Gb/s, through the available 20 Mb/s channel (as well as to save some bits for the audio and other data...

...Bringing Video Gaming and BD-Live from being an Entertainment Tool to a becoming a Distance Learning Tool: A Concept Paper 1 Choo-Hong Loo School of Business and Administration ,Wawasan Open University 54, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah 10050 Penang,Malaysia. chloo@wou.edu.my, telephone +604-2180 333 and fax +604-2269 323 Accepted Sub-theme: Technology-enhanced teaching and learning Abstract: To some parents and educationist, video gaming has long been associated with wasting time. The interactivity and connectivity of the sixth and seventh generation video console has resulted in the introduction of the use of motion as input, and IR tracking and wireless controllers and 3D together with connectivity among the different console users in a network. This paper discusses the application on how the sixth and seventh generation video game console can be adapted to deliver vocational instruction through the gaming consoles. Apart from the video game console we would also be discussing on the use of the BD-Live feature on the BluRay disc. Using the case studies of Xbox 360, WII, Play Station 3 and BD-Live, we would like propose how video game and BluRay consoles can be used to deliver vocational education through the distance learning mode. The advent of the internet, motion technology and 3D technology, would mean enhanced educational content can be delivered to students in a more effective, expansive and entertaining manner. The discussion of this paper will benefit the makers...

...Engl 503 S.M. Rabillard Term Paper Dec 6 2001 Exchanging the Currency of Authenticity: Live Performance and Mediatization in Hiphop Culture Baba Brinkman 0135748 Welcome to the wonderful World of entertainment Where art imitates life And people get famous Welcome to the world Of show-biz arrangements Where "lights, camera, action" Is the language. -Jurrasic 5 Performance studies in the last few years has begun to reject essentialist notions of live performance as ontologically distinct from the influence of recorded media, or mediatization. Philip Auslander deconstructs the traditional binary of live versus mediatized forms in his recent study, Liveness: Live Performance in a Mediatized Culture. Since hiphop culture and rap music originated in a post-industrial urban setting, they have always been inherently mediatized to some degree. However, if there is no unmediatized performance in hiphop culture, a huge premium is still placed on immediacy. Since the appearance of rap records in the late seventies and MTV rap music videos in the mid-eighties it has become increasingly easier for rap artists to achieve success without having to first build a local following. In response to this phenomenon, music critic Nelson George has made a political analogy: recorded media "has made rap more democratic--but is democracy good for art? Hiphop was, at one point, a true meritocracy"(George 113).i Hiphop culture struggles between its status as meritocracy ...
