We have features for every step of the way

 Desktop vs Laptop

Design and organize

What a Perfect HW and OS

Apple has tradiConally dominated

content creaCon with media

Apple plaHorm sCll maintains strong
presence due to quality soJware
(Power Cut and logic pro not
available in windows)

Changed over9me due to a larger

range of more powerful op9ons
with windows-based PC’s

 CPU

Central Processing Unit The brain of the computer.

Organize with Sec9ons

It’s component that does all the

heavily liJing (computaConal work)

The faster the processor , Faster the
computer can work

Speed -> MulC core

CPU Speed
Raw speed of CPU measured in Hertz
Data cycles through the CPU, the
higher the Hertz the faster it travels
Most MulCmedia System will have a
CPU speed over 3GB
Stylize, edit, and animate your media
Mul9core / Mul9 Threade Anywhere

»  These are CPUs that have more that 1 processor built in

Data is usually shared between them to reduce compu9ng
9me

»  Therefore a slower mulCcore CPU can (some instances)
perform be\er than a fast single core

»  ApplicaCon dependent – soJware must work with mulCcore
for the benefit
What beTer for mul9media
It’s not just about the visuals, but
strengthening

MulC-thread systems tends to suit
mulCmedia project more as long as
the soJware being used supports it

Major Apps Adobe, Autodesk All now
support mulCcore systems
 New Picture Effects

Picture Color, Correc9ons, Ar9s9c Filters,

and Background Removal allow you to customize images for your story

RAM

Temporary storage area

This is where project you are working
on reside unCl ou save to permanent
storage

Hold for CPU waiCng for it to be
processed

How important is RAM?

Very
The more Ram you have you can run
more apps at the same Cme
Faster your RAM is the more your
processor can do
Modern MulCmedia system will
generally have at least 8GB of DDR3
RAM

 Exci9ng new transi9ons

GPU is like CPU but designed for Graphic.

It will determine how fast image/graphics will move when
animated . Determines the computers max display
resoluCon. It can have more than 1 core
3

Graphic Cards
Have a processor to move graphics
(GPU)
Have RAM to store data being worked
on
It need cooling
EssenCal for mulCmedia workstaCon

 THE POWER OF GPU
As GPU performance is now outpacing CPU
performance, many organizaCon are relaying
on GPU’s for all their prosessing

nVidia CUDA has thousandsof small cores
that process data at the same Cme

 MOTHERBOARD
Component that connects everything together




Controller for moving data
Processor brand/type specific usually can not mix and
match between architecture
Some will contain built in components such as GPU and
sound processor


 SOUND CARDS
Needed So You Can Hear Sound From Your
Computer
Convert digital data into sound waves
Most System have a sound controller built
into the motherboard
Audiophiles and sound professional will have
dedicated DSP for this




DIGITAL SINGNAL PROCESSING
Just Like GPU but for Audio File
Handle mulCple channels simultaneously and
produce be\er quality audio


HDD

•  HDD-tradiConal strorage mediumfor nearly all

computers
•  Mechanical disk made up for metal pla\ers
that are magneCsed to hold data
SDD : Solid State Drive

•  A combinaCon of a flash USB drive and a Hrd

Disk Drive
•  No moving parts
•  Becoming far mon common
•  Popular with light weight, portable devices
SSD vs HDD

•  MulCmedia person need both, SDD for

performance and HDD for capacity
MONITORS

•  OJen overlooked but incredibly important

•  A good quality monitor will represent colours
correctly
•  Larger size are important as they will support
higher resoluCon
•  Most designers will usually have more than
one connected to their computer and have a
large screen capable of be\er that 1920x1080
resoluCon
Other devices

•  Drawing tablets – connect to your PC allow

you to draw using stylus/pen
•  Headphone/ speakers – essenCal with
mulCmedia presentaCons
•  External storage –
Typical Mul9media Designer’s System

Simultaneous edits on one single document.

No more waiCng your turn or managing
mulCple versions.

It’s about team work, and co-authoring will
get you there.
