Concept of Video
Video is an excellent tool for delivering multimedia.
Video places the highest performance demand on computer
and its memory and storage.
Digital video has replaced analog as the method of choice
for making and delivering video for multimedia.
Concept of Video
Digital video device produces excellent finished products at
a fraction of the cost of analog.
Digital video eliminates the image-degrading analog-todigital conversion.
Many digital video sources exist, but getting the rights can
be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.
Analog Video
Video information that is stored using television
video signals, film, videotape or other noncomputer media
Each frame is represented by a fluctuating
voltage signal known as an analogue wave form
or composite video.
Analog Video
Composite analogue video has all the video
components:
brightness, colour and synchronization

Analog Video
Video color:
Television sets use composite input. Hence colors are
less pure and less accurate than computers using RGB
component.
NTSC television uses a limited color palette and
restricted luminance (brightness) levels and black levels.
Some colors generated by a computer that display fine
on a RGB monitor may be illegal for display on a NTSC
TV.
Analog Video
Interlacing effects:
In television, the electron beam makes two passes on the
screen while drawing a single video frame.
It first lays down all the odd-numbered lines, and then all the
even-numbered lines, hence they are interlaced.
While capturing images from a video signal, they can be
filtered through a de-interlacing filter provided by imageediting applications.
Analog Video
Text and titles for television and taking care of analog tapes:
Titles for video productions can be created with an analog
character generator.
Computers can create titles digitally using video and imageediting software.
New tapes should always be fast-forwarded to the end and
then rewound, to ensure even tape tension.
Digital Video
Digital video is the digitisation of analogue video signals
into numerical format
It creates the illusion of full motion by displaying a rapid
sequence of changing images on a display device.
Conversion from analogue to digital format requires the use
on an ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter)
Digital Video
Video clip stored on any mass-storage device can be played
back on a computers monitor without special hardware.
Video Digitizing
Digital video is often used to capture content from movies
and television to be used in multimedia.
A video source (video camera ,VCR, TV or videodisc) is
connected to a video capture card in a computer.
As the video source is played, the analog signal is sent to
the video card and converted into a digital file (including
sound from the video).

Special Effects
Superimposing
The ability to superimpose one clip over another is a
valuable technique.
The technique of green screening is identical except that
the color green is used for the screen and later digitally
removed.
Special Effects
Digital video editing applications provide special effect
filters to create lens flares and emboss, tint, pan, twist
and zoom the video image.
These special effects can often be set up to change over
the duration of the video clip.
