MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY & APPLICATION
TUTORIAL 1: INTRODUCTION TO MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY
1. You have been asked to develop one multimedia application or learnin! purpose. The tar!et
audiences or these applications are amon! the secondar" school students. #s a sot$are
en!ineer% "ou need to identi" $hich tool $ill be used to develop this application and e&plain
at least THREE (3) capabilities in "our application should have.
'. ()C Compan" hired "ou to develop one social net$orkin! $eb based application. *ser can
interact $ith this application b" usin! online video% chat via orum% and upload their photos
to the $eb. You have to make sure the pro+ect that $ill !oin! to develop accordin! to
speciications determined b" the user. Besides% there are some possibilities issues ma" occur
throu!hout the application development process. #s a pro+ect leader% "ou have to predict
$hat the THREE (3) issues happen and ho$ "ou overcome this problem.
3. You have a di!ital ima!e in ei!ht,bit color that has block" areas o color% lackin! the subtle
!radations rom one color to the ne&t that "ou $ould like to see. -s this a matter o aliasin! or
.uanti/ation error0 E&plain.
4. - "ou are recordin! an audio ile and "ou e&pect that the hi!hest re.uenc" in the ile $ill be
11%112/% $hat is the minimum samplin! rate "ou can use to ensure that "ou $on3t !et audio
aliasin!0
4. True or 5alse0 You can3t represent as $ide a ran!e o colors $ith ei!ht bits as "ou can $ith
16 bits. E&plain "our ans$er.
6. 7ne o the solutions or the limited band$idth problem is usin! compression. 8hat is the
si/e o ile or uncompressed video and audio sample belo$ in (B 9me!ab"te:.
9i: 611 & 411 pi&els per rame% 34 rames per second% 4 minutes video.
9ii: 34'11 samples per second% 3' bits per sample% stereo sound% 4 minutes audio.
