DEFINE HARDWARE & SOFTWARE

Computer hardware is a collective term used
to describe any of the physical components of
an analog or digital computer. The
term hardware distinguishes the tangible
aspects of a computing device from software,
which consists of written instructions that
tell physical components what to do.

SOFTWARE
Software is a set of instructions, data or programs used to
operate computers and execute specific tasks. Opposite of
hardware, which describes the physical aspects of a
computer, software is a generic term used to refer
to applications, scripts and programs that run on a
device. Software can be thought of as the variable part of
a computer and hardware the invariable part.

CPU
Central Processing Unit (CPU) is an essential part in any
computer. It is considered as the brain of computer, where
processing and synchronization of all activities takes
place. The efficiency of a computer is judged by the speed
of the CPU in processing of data. For a multimedia
computer a Pentium processor is preferred because of
higher efficiency.

Monitor
The monitor is used to see the computer output. Generally,
it displays 25 rows and 80 columns of text. The text or
graphics in a monitor is created as a result of an
arrangement of tiny dots, called pixels. Resolution is the
amount of details the monitor can render. Resolution is
defined in terms of horizontal and vertical pixel (picture
elements) displayed on the screen.

Video Grabbing Card
We need to convert the analog video signal to digital signal
for processing in a computer. Normal computer will not be
able to do it alone. It requires special equipment called
video grabbing card and software to this conversion
process. This card translates the analog signal it receives
from conventional sources such as a VCR or a video
camera, and converts them into digital format.

For the creation of multimedia on
the PC there are hundreds of software
packages that are available from
manufacturers all over the world.
