  1. Topic 9 Video Introduction to Multimedia

  2. Lecture Objectives • Implication of using digital video in multimedia • Discuss video recording and how it relates to multimedia production • Describe digital video and images for conversion to television • Select the best video recording formats for your multimedia project • Begin preparing video for the Web and CD-ROM

  3. How Video Works? • When light reflected from an object passes through a video camera lens, that light is converted into an electronic signal by a special sensor called charge-coupled device(CCD). • Signal output (RGB) is the preferred method for higher-quality and professional video work.

  4. Definitions • Tracking • Fine adjustments of the tape so the tracks are properly aligned as the tape moves across the playback head. • Degaussing • An electronic process that readjusts the magnets that guide the electrons

  5. Analog Display Standards • NTSC • System for broadcasting set by 1952 National Television Standards Committee • Defines a method for encoding information into the electronic signal that ultimately created a television picture. • Interlacing – technique helps to prevent flicker on television screens. • Computer monitor uses different progressive-scan technology

  6. Analog Display Standards • PAL • Phase Alternate Line • Used in the UK, Western Europe, Australia, South Africa, China and South America • Increase screen resolution to 625 horizontal lines • SECAM • Sequential Color and Memory (SECAM) • Used in France, Eastern Europe, former USSR • Differ in basic technology and broadcast method

  7. Analog Display Standards • ATSC DTV • Advanced Television Systems Committee • Provides high resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio • Allows viewing of Cinemascope and Panavision movies.

  8. Digital Display Standards • Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) • Boasts theater quality because it uses Dolby Digital AC-3 format to provide 5.1 channel surround sound. • Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) • Defines physical layer and data link layer of distribution system • Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB) • Allow radio and television stations to convert to digital format.

  9. Overscan • Common practice in television industry to broadcast an image larger than will fit on a standard TV screen so that the ‘edge’ of the image seen by a viewer is always bounded by the TV’s physical frame, or BEZEL • In contrast, computer monitor displays a smaller image on the picture tube (underscan) leaving a black border inside the BEZEL.

  10. Digital Video – Setting up Production Environment • Computer with FireWire connection and cables • Fast processors • Plenty of RAM • Hard disk storage • Second display to allow for more real estate • Audio mixer to adjust sound output from the camcorder • External speakers • Television monitor

  11. Digital Video Architecture • Made up of a format for encoding and playing back video files by a computer and includes a player that can recognize and play files created for that format. • Major digital video architectures are Apple’s QuickTime, Microsoft’s Windows Media Format and RealNetwork’s RealMedia

  12. What is a CoDec? • Algorithm used to compress (code) a video for delivery and then decode it in real time for fast playback. • Real time compression includes MPEG, Indeo, JPEG, Cinepak and Sorenson • Streaming technologies include Adobe Flash, Windows Media, QuickTime and RealPlayer

  13. MPEG • Developed by Moving Picture Experts Group • MPEG1- MPEG7 Release • MPEG21- under development • Provide Rights Expression Language

  14. Video Recording and Tape Formats • Composite Analog Video • Combines luminance and chroma information from the video signal • Produces lowest quality video and most susceptible to generation loss – loss of quality that occurs as you move from original footage to edit master to copy. • Used for VHS • Component Analog Video • Similar function to the above, but to decrease generation loss.

  15. Optimizing Video Files for CD-ROM • Flattening – interleave audio and video segments together. Limit amount of synchronization between video and audio. • Use regularly spaced key frames, 10 to 15 frames apart to correct seek time delays. Seek time – how long it takes the CD-ROM player to locate specific data on the CD-ROM disc. • Video window’s size and frame rate affect performance. The more data that has to be decompressed and transferred from the CD-ROM to the screen, the slower the playback.

  16. Optimizing Video Files for CD-ROM • Lower sampling rate and sample size to reduce quantity of audio data • Software compression algorithm • Defragment your files before burning the master

  17. Topic 10 Hardware

  18. Lecture Objectives • Discuss the two computer platforms most often used in multimedia and choose an appropriate platform for a project • Understand how computers are networked and select the appropriate tools to connect workstations • Select the appropriate output devices for project during development and deployment • Understand communications devices and protocols that are used in multimedia development

  19. Macintosh vs. Windows Macintosh • All Macintoshes can record and play sound • Many include hardware and software for digitizing and editing video and producing DVD discs. • Mostly requires a computer mouse Windows • Basic system configuration

  20. Connections • SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) - installed and connecting external peripherals such as hard disk, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, printers, scanners, etc - connect both INTERNAL and EXTERNAL devices • IDE,IEDE, Ultra IDE, ATA, Ultra ATA - internal connections (hard disk, drives) • USB - Compaq, IBM, MS, Intel, NEC formed to promote USB. • FireWire (IEEE1394)

  21. Images

  22. Memory and Storage Devices • RAM (Random Access Memory) • ROM (Read Only Memory) • Floppy and Hard disks • Zip, Jaz, Syquest, and Optical Storage Devices • Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) • Flash or Thumb drives • CD-ROM Players • CD Recorders • CD-RW

  23. Input Devices • Keyboards • Mice • Trackballs • Touchscreens • Magnetic Card Encoders and Readers • Graphic Tablets • Scanners • OCR Devices • Infrared Remotes • Voice Recognition Systems • Digital Cameras
