File FormatsDifferent applications (programs) store data in different formats. Applications support some file formats and not others.
File formats appear as a (usually) 3 letter suffix or “extension” after the name of the file, e.g., .psd, .doc, .jpg, .pct, .tif, .gif, .ppt, etc.

GIF• GIF standard (Graphics Interchange Format):
Limited to 8-bit (256) color images only, which, while producing acceptable color images, is best suited for images with few distinctive colors .
• GIF standard supports interlacing — successive display of pixels in widely-spaced rows by a 4-pass display process.

JPEG• JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): The most important
current standard for image compression (.jpg, .jpeg, .jpe).
• The human vision system has some specific limitations and JPEG takes advantage of these to achieve high rates of compression.

PNG• PNG format: standing for Portable Network Graphics — meant to
supersede the GIF standard, and extends it in important ways.
• Special features of PNG files include:
1. Support for up to 48 bits of color information — a large increase.
2. Files may contain gamma-correction information for correct display of color images, as well as alpha-channel information for such uses as control of transparency.
3. The display progressively displays pixels in a 2-dimensional fashion by showing a few pixels at a time over seven passes through each 8 8 block of an image.

Fundamentals of Multimedia, Chapter 3
TIFF• TIFF: stands for Tagged Image File Format.
• The support for attachment of additional information (referred to as “tags”) provides a great deal of flexibility.
1. The most important tag is a format signifier: what type of compression etc. is in use in the stored image.
2. TIFF can store many different types of image: 1-bit, grayscale, 8-bit color, 24-bit RGB, etc.
3. TIFF was originally a lossless format but now a new JPEG tag allows one to opt for JPEG compression.
4. The TIFF format was developed by the Aldus Corporation in the 1980's and was later supported by Microsoft.

• An input device one that, together with appropriate software, transforms informationinformation from the user into datadata that the computer application can process.
• Choice and method of use of an input device should contribute positively to usabilityusability of the system
• The usability of an input device depends greatly on the provision of appropriate feedbackfeedback

Choosing appropriate input devices
• Matching devices with workwork– The particular manipulations needed to accomplish a piece of work need
to be analyzed– Natural mappings between use, feedback, meaning of result and user’s
mental model are needed
• Matching devices with usersusers– e.g., eye and head input for the physically disabled
• Matching devices with environment of useenvironment of use– space– relation to other concurrent tasks etc.,

Multimedia Authoring Tools
• Multimedia authoring tools provide the important framework that Multimedia designers require to organises and edit the various elements of a multimedia projects including, Video, Sound, Animation, Graphics and Text.
• Authoring tools are used for designing interactivity and User Interface.
![Page 31: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Multimedia Authoring Tools II
• There are three general categories of Multimedia authoring tools.
• These are:
– Card or page-based tools
– Icon-based tools
– Time-based tools
![Page 32: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Multimedia Authoring Tools III
• Card - or Paged based tools– Are systems that are based on a book
or a page metaphor. This means that the way the elements are organized are similar to pages of a book or a card file.
– E.g. Hypercard
![Page 33: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

34
Multimedia Authoring Tools IV
• Icon-Based Tools– These authoring tools multimedia
elements are organised as objects in a structural framework. The programme typically displays flow diagram of activities along branching paths
– E.g Macromedia Authorware
![Page 35: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Multimedia Authoring Tools V
• Time-Based Tools– These authoring systems view the
development of a multimedia package as organising objects along a time line. Sequentially organised frames are then played back to the user.
– E.g Macromedia Director

HYPERTEXT and HYPERMEDIA
![Page 37: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Hypertext• Hypertext is a system of storing images,
text, and other computer files that allows direct links to related text, images, sound, and other data.
• Hypertext is the main basis of operation for the web.
![Page 38: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Hypermedia• Hypermedia is an updated extension of text
in hypertext.
• It is the connection between hypertext and multimedia.
• Hypermedia documents contain links to other pieces of text, sound, images, movies, and other forms of media.
![Page 39: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How Hypertext is Different From Hypermedia
• Like regular text, hypertext can be edited, stored, searched or read. Unlike regular text, it can also contain connections to other documents.
• Hypermedia documents are like hypertext, except that they also contain links to other forms of media like movies, sound, and images.
![Page 40: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Uses of Hypermedia/Hypertext
• As an educational tool
• As a way of navigating the internet.
• A way of organizing content in a database.
• As a way of allowing users with disabilities to learn.
• Entertainment.
• Making online purchases.
• Not just for the internet. Can be used in other applications such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, databases, and presentations.

Distributed Multimedia
What is Distributed Multimedia? Large quantities of distributed data Typically streamed out One or many receivers of the data Run over general purpose infrastructure Data is time sensitive, but not necessarily real
time
![Page 42: Unit 4 and 5](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062220/55cc7e75bb61eb06148b471a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
DMMS
• A simple architecture of DMMS
