MM Hardware
Each hardware has its own functions.
1) Scanners are used to convert conventional
images, texts, drawings and photos into digital form
that can be understood by the computer.
2) Video cameras: analog video camera and digital
video camera (DV).
An analog video camera records video in analog
signals on a magnetic video tape.
A digital video camera records video in digital signals,
which can be stored in various forms of media, such
as digital video tape or memory cards.

MM Hardware
Each hardware has its own functions.
3) Camera An ordinary camera, images are captured on
a roll of film.
In a digital camera, images are captured and
stored in a media card.
4) Audio devices - are needed to record
analog sound.
The sounds are then changed into digital
sound.

5)

Video capture devices help to

convert analog video to digital video.
The fire wire helps to transfer the video
from video camera to the computer.
They also transfer digital video to the
computer so that the data can be edited
or stored.

17

Authoring Tools
is a program that helps you write multimedia
applications.
usually enable you to create a final application
by linking together objects such as a
paragraph of text, graphic or a video.
By sequencing them in an appropriate order,
authoring tools can produce attractive and
useful multimedia applications.

Time Frame
Concept

20

Time Frame
Concept

With time frame concept authoring tools, the

multimedia elements or events are presented
and organised along a time line.
This type of tool helps users coordinate when
each multimedia element (text, graphics,
audio, video or animation) plays.
In time frame concept authoring tools, a
timeline consists of layers which span several
frames.

Icon Concept

12/20/15

22

Icon Concept
The

icon concept in authoring tools

provides the multimedia developer with
a visual programming approach to
sequencing events in the multimedia
application.
In this concept, elements and events
are organised in a structural framework.

24

Card Concept
The

card concept in authoring tools are

based on the idea of card stacks
containing graphics, audio, video, text
and animation.
Elements and events in card concept
authoring tools are organised as pages
in a book or a stack of cards.
