Multimedia Technologies [open]

The course is an introduction to multimedia and the technologies applied to the development and operation of these systems. The course taught the basic concepts and terms of multimedia technology and the techniques and standards relating to coding, compression, storage, and representation of different media : hypertext , graphics , sound , and video. It describes the hardware (hardware) and software (software) used in creating, editing and playback of different media and presents basic multimedia authoring tools. Finally are the design principles and development of multimedia applications . In the laboratory part of the course, students become familiar with multimedia authoring tools mainly free software .

Objectives

At the end of this lesson the students will be able to: know the basic principles of digital signals ( differences in analog and digital signal, digitize signals , basic concepts and digitization parameters). report accurately the basic principles and theorems sampling for the purpose of digitization. recognize the kinds of digital signals ( a two -dimensional signals ) . define the basic parameters of the digital image , the digital video, computer graphics and hypertext markup language (HTML). know the basic signal processing techniques ( filtering techniques , coding and decoding and signal transfer ) . know about objects such as: definition multimedia , hypermedia , historical data and general use multimedia , color theory, color models , transformations between color models. be aware of the new technologies in TV (digital transmission of television signals , communication protocols , transfer to the internet) . describe the basic principles of compression of digital signals . know the possibilities of interactive media and what are the new opportunities for user interaction with the H / PC, according to the latest technological developments. compose algorithmic processes for producing , managing and storing images or videos using modern software packages. transmit the acquired knowledge for the course in a creative way to fellow workers in order to create cultural informatics applications.
