I heard our teacher say “output” in
class yesterday.
What do you think that means?
I don’t know, let’s ask. Hey
Mac – What’s
Output??
That’s an easy one. Output is anything
that comes out of a
computer.
It could be a display on the computer
screen, hardcopy on printed pages, or even the audio
playback of music you composed on the computer. Let
me show you.
The first type of output is Visual
Output
ZvBox Broadcasts any Internet TV or
Computer Content to your HDTVs
Just like a television set (an older one, anyway) the CRT monitor contains a large
cathode ray tube that uses an electron beam of varying strength to “paint” a
picture onto the color phosphorescent dots on the inside of the screen.
The LCD consists of several thin layers that polarize the light passing
through them. A video projector
takes a video signal and
projects the corresponding
image on a projection screen
using a lens system.
WOW! Video Output is really
cool!
Hey Mac, what about audio. Is that an output
too?
It sure is! There are a
ton of different Audio
Output devices.
One type is voice recorders or TTS devices. These turn text into speech.
And of course you know about speakers. Those
are audio devices too, since they output sound
from the computer to your
ears!
Another type of output is Hard Copy Output.
The most common form being printers.
So I use output all the time
when I use my ink jet printer and I didn’t
even know it!
The most common type of printer for home systems is the
color ink jet printer. These printers form the image on the page by spraying tiny droplets
of ink from the print head.
A laser printer produces good quality images by the
same technology that photocopiers use. A drum coated with photosensitive
material is charged, then an image is written onto it by a
laser
Hey Kids. I bet you didn’t think of
your IPod as output either but it is. It’s just one type of Storage
Output
I get it! It’s because we “output” our
music onto it!
External hard drives and flash drives are other types of storage
output.
Thanks for telling us all
about output Mac!
It was so much fun!!
No problem
kids. Happy
Outputing!!
