Outline. Consider the implications of using digital video in multimedia Discuss video analog and digital technologies and displays Work with digital video containers and codecs to select the best video recording formats for multimedia projects Find and acquire video clips Shoot and edit video for use in multimedia.

video. Of all the multimedia elements, video places the highest performance demand on your computer or device—and its memory and storage..

When light reflected from an object passes through a video camera lens, that light is converted into an electronic signal by a special sensor called a charge-coupled device (CCD).

Analog video has a resolution measured in the number of horizontal scan lines (due to the nature of early cathode-tube cameras)..

Component: Separates the Red, Green, Blue channels on different CCDs as separate signals on its own conductor. Component is used for high quality video..

S-Video: (Separate Video) uses two channels: Luminance: sometimes referred as Y (greyscale). Chrominance: sometimes referred as C (color).

Composite: when all the signals are mixed together and carried on a single cable as a composite of the three color channels and the sync signal. The composite signal yields less-precise color definition..

A single video frame is made up of two fields that are interlaced. Tracking is the fine adjustment of the tape during playback so that the tracks are properly aligned as the tape moves across the playback head..

NTSC. Analog Broadcast Standards. National Television Standards Committee a single frame of video was made up of 525 horizontal scan lines drawn onto the inside face of a phosphor-coated picture tube every 1/30th of a second by a fast-moving electron beam. Odd lines than even lines (60 lines per second= 60Hz).

Flickering.

PAL. Analog broadcast standards. Phase Alternate Line (PAL) increased the screen resolution to 625 horizontal lines, but slowed the scan rate to 25 frames per second. 50 lines per second = 50Hz.

SECAM. Analog broadcast standards. Sequential Color and Memory (SECAM) a 625-line, 50 Hz system. SECAM transmits only one color at a time, it is free of the color artifacts present in NTSC and PAL resulting from the combined transmission of both signals..

Analog broadcast standards. O NTSC O SECAM PAL or PAL/SECAM O no info.

hdtv. HDTV provides high resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio. The broadcast industry promulgated an ultra-high-resolution, 1920 × 1080 interlaced format (1080i). BUT the computer industry wanted a 1280 × 720 progressive-scan system (720p) for HDTV. Both formats have been included in the HDTV standard by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC)..

Displays.

displays. cathode ray tube (CRT): Colored phosphors screen glow red, green, or blue when they are energized by an electron beam..

degaussing.

Flat screen. Liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display, electronic visual display, or video display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly. Plasma: the technology utilizes small cells containing electrically charged ionized gases, or what are in essence chambers more commonly known as fluorescent lamps..

MPEG. MPEG-1 MPEG-2 MPEG-4 1.2 Mbps of video 250 Kbps of two-channel stereo audio using CD-ROM technology. higher data rates (3 to 15 Mbps). higher image resolution. multiresolution scalability. Standard for Digital TV and DVDs. It offers indexing, hyperlinking, querying, browsing, uploading, downloading. Virtual Reality.

Shooting and editing video. Fast processor(s) Plenty of RAM Computer with FireWire (IEEE 1394 or i.Link) or USB connection and cables Fast and big hard disk(s) A second display to allow for more real estate for your editing software External speakers Nonlinear editing (NLE) software.
