• MULTIMEDIA CAN BE DEFINED AS MULTI &MEDIUM.
• WHERE MULTI STANDS FOR MANY,MUCH,MULTIPLE.
• MEDIUM ACTS AS A PLATFORM THROUGH WHICH INTERVENING
SUBSTANCES ARE CARRIED.

• MEDIA CAN BE CLASSIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CRITERIAS.

• PRESENTATION MEDIUM
• PERCEPTION REPRESENTATION
• INFORMATION EXCHANGE
• STORAGE TRANSMISSION
• PERCEPTION MEDIUM : THIS MEDIUM HELPS HUMANS TO SENSE THE
ENVIRONMENT HUMANS MAINLY PERCEIVE INFORMATION THROUGH
SEEING AND HEARING VIUAL MEDIUM COMPRISES OF IMAGE &TEXT
AND HEARING WE USE MUSIC &NOISE.

• REPRESENTATION MEDIUM: SPECIFIES HOW THE INFORMATION IS

CODED THE VARIOUS FORMATS OF DATA CODING IS AS FOLLOWS:

• TEXT CHARACTERS ARE CODED IN ASCII/EBCDIC FORMATS.

• GRAPHIC IS CODED IN CEPT/CAPTAIN VIDEO TEXT STANDARD.
• AUDIO STREAM CAN BE REPRESENTED USING PULSE CODING METHOD
(PCM).

• IMAGE CAN BE REPRESENTED USING JPEG AND COMBINED AUDIO

VIDEO CAN BE REPRESENTED USING MPEG.
• PRESENTATION MEDIUM : REFERS TO THE TOOLS AND DEVICES FOR
THE INPUT AND OUTPUT OF INFORMATION.KEYBOARD ,SCANNERS
ARE THE INPUT MEDIA & SPEAKERS AND MONITORS ARE OUTPUT
MEDIA.

• STORAGE MEDIUM: REFERS TO HOW THE DATA IS STORED IT CAN BE

STORED IN PAPER,HARDISK,CD-ROM ETC.

• TRANSMISSION MEDIUM :SPECIFIES HOW THE DATA IS BEING

TRANSMITTED THROUGH NETWORKS.

• IT IS POSSIBLE BY USING CABLES SUCH AS COAIXBLE CABLES AND

FIBRE OPTICS.

• INFORMATION EXCHANGE MEDIUM: INCLUDES BOTH THE STORAGE

AND TRANSMISSION MEDIUM.HOW THE INFORMATION IS STORED AND
TRANSMITTED THROUGH NETWORKS.
MULTIMEDIA
• A MULTIMEDIA IS CHARACTERISED BY COMPUTER CONTROLLED
INTEGRATED PRODUCTION ,MANIPULATION PRESENTATION,STORAGE
AND COMMUNICATION OF INDEPENDENT INFORMATION.

• DATA STREAM CAN BE DEFINED AS A SEQUENCE OF INDIVIDUAL

PACKETS TRANSMITTED IN A TIME DEPENDENT WAY.

• PACKETS CAN TRANSFER DATA USING CONTINOUS OR DISCRETE

MEDIUM

• THE TRANSMISSION OF DATA IS DONE WITH DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION

MODES.
• ASYNHRONOUS TRANSMISSION MODE
• SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION MODE
• ISOCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION MODE
ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION MODE
• IN THIS MODE THE PACKETS ARE TRANSMITTED WITH NO TIMELY
RESTRICTIONS PACKETS ARE RECEIVED AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE.

• THE PROTOCOL FOR EMAIL TRANSMISSION IS AN EXAMPLE.

• IT CANNOT BE APPLIED FOR TIME RESTRICTIONS.
SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION MODE
• IN THIS MODE THE DATA IS TRANSMITTED AS CONTIONOUS DATA
SIGNALS WITH TIMING SIGNALS.

• THE PACKETS CAN BE RECEIVED TO THE RECEIVER AT AN EARLIER

TIME THAN THE SPECIFIED TIME.

ISOCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION MODE

• THIS MODE DEFINES A MINIMUM END TO END DELAY FOR EACH
PACKET OF A DATA STREAM

• THIS MEANS THAT THE DELAY JITTER OF THE INDIVIDUAL PACKETS

ARE BOUNDED .
