Fiends I have some information about Multimedia, so please read it.

Multimedia is the use of a combination of text, graphics and audio aids in presentation of information. It is the collection of different forms of communication, such as television, computer, printer and video recorder, connected to allow information to be presented in any combination of media, such as text, audio or video.

Definition:

The word multimedia is made up of two separate words, “multi” meaning many, and “media” meaning material through which information may be transmitted. Therefore, multimedia can be described as an integration of multiple media elements together to influence the given information so that it can be presented in an attractive manner.

Multimedia mainly concerned with the computer controlled integration of text, graphics, drawing, still and moving images (video), animation and audio where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and processed digitally.

Commonly used multimedia mediums :

Text- The on screen display of words, that is , text, is the base of the most applications. The use of different styles, fonts, and colors can be used to emphasis specific points.

Graphics- seeing a picture of an object has more impact than only reading about it. Graphics include conventional artwork, computer generated artwork and photographs or captured video frames.

Audio- This includes speech, audio effects, ambient sound and music.

Video- Anything that you see visually on the screen (digital movie) is a video.

Animation- Animation is the timed sequence of a series of graphics images or frames together give the appearance of continuous movement.
