Editor's Notes
- #10: Computer Controlled Producing the content of the information – e.g. by using the authoring tools, image editor, sound and video editor Storing the information – providing large and shared capacity for multimedia information. Transmitting the information – through the network. Presenting the information to the end user – make direct use of computer peripheral such as display device (monitor) or sound generator (speaker) Integrated All multimedia components (audio, video, text, graphics) used in the system must be somehow integrated. Every device, such as microphone and camera is connected to and controlled by a single computer. A single type of digital storage is used for all media type. Digitally Represented Digitization: process involved in transforming an analog signal to digital signal Interactivity Level 1: Users select the time at which the presentation starts, the order, the speed and the form of the presentation itself. Level 2: Users can modify or enrich the content of the information, and this modification is recorded. Level 3: Actual processing of users input and the computer generate genuine result based on the users input.
