multimedia
the use of multiple formats for the presentation of information, including, text, sound, video, images, and animation. Computer-based interactive multimedia includes hypermedia and hypertext

hypermedia
computer-based system that allows interactive

linking of multiple format information including text,

sound, video, images, and animation. Allow non-linear traversal

hypertext
non-linear organized and accessed screens of text and static diagrams, images, and tables

(non-linear text only)

By Prof. R K Kadu The relationship of multimedia, hypermedia, and hypertext.

Types of Multimedia

Linear : as user can sit back and watch it just as they do a movie or television Non-linear or interactive :When user are given navigational control and can wonder through the content called nonlinear

Multimedia Hardware Rules:

Upgrade to proven products that lie in the calm water slightly behind the leading edge of the wave Once youve tried it, you cant go back You never have enough memory or disk space

Multimedia Software Rules:

Making good multimedia is picking a successful route through the software swamp. The software in your multimedia toolkit, and your skill at using it determine what kind of multimedia work you can do and how fine and fancy you can render it.

Stravinskys Rite of Spring

Liebigs Law of Minimums: proposes that

the evolution of eyesight, hearing or other species trait will cease when that trait becomes sufficiently adequate to meet the survival requirements...

which leads to Vaughans Law of Multimedia Minimums: There is an acceptable minimal level
of adequacy that will satisfy the audience, even when that level may not be the best that technology, money, or time and effort can buy.

which leads to Audio recording

By Prof. R K Kadu

Audio Recording
Sampling Rate in Stereo Resolution Bytes Needed for 1 minute

44.1KHz 44.1KHz 22.05KHz 22.05KHz 11KHz

16 - bit 8 - bit 16 - bit 8 - bit 8 - bit

10.5MB 5.25MB 5.25MB 2.6MB 1.3MB

For Mono at the same sampling rate divide by 2

Images (tips)
Still images may be the most important element of your multimedia project. It is virtually impossible to paint a photo-realistic bitmap using a point program. For photo-realism, use images that are first scanned and then pasted into your paint or image program A good screen grabber is essential
By Prof. R K Kadu

Principles of Animation

Animation is possible because of a biological phenomenon known as persistence of motion

An object seen by the human eye remains mapped on the eyes retina for a brief time Therefore if a series of images are changed slightly and rapidly they blend together into a visual illusion of movement

By Prof. R K Kadu

Video

Resort to video only when all other methods pale by comparison.

David A. Ludwig, Interactive Learning Designs

Tips:
Know the difference between a TV and the Computer Screen A still image could require as much as a megabyte of memory. 1 Meg X 30 frames = Appearance of motion You need memory, memory, and more memory.
