Digital SoundDigital Sound Digital Audio Basics Portable Audio Players MIDI Music Speech Recognition and Synthesis
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 5
Digital Audio Basics Sampling rate refers to number of times per second that a
sound is measured
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 6
Digital Audio Basics The most popular digital audio formats include AAC, AIFF,
MP3, RealAudio, Wave, and WMA Audio or media player software allows you to record and
play digital audio files You can embed digital audio files into a Web page
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 7
Portable Audio Players Pocket-sized, battery-powered device that stores digital
music– Zune
Digital music is available from a wide variety of sources– Formats include MP3, AAC,
and WMA
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 8
Speech Recognition and Synthesis
Speech synthesis is the process by which machines produce sound resembling spoken words– Text-to-speech software
Speech recognition refers to the ability of a machine to understand spoken words– Speech recognition software

Bitmap GraphicsBitmap Graphics Bitmap Basics Scanners and Cameras Image Resolution Color Depth and Palettes Image Compression Bitmap Graphics Formats
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 11
Bitmap Graphics Composed of a grid of dots
– Color of each dot is stored as a binary number
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 12
Scanners and Cameras
To scan an image, turn on thescanner and start your scannersoftware. Place the image facedown on the scanner glass, anduse the scanner software to initiate the scan. The scanned image is saved in RAM and can then be saved on your computer’s hard disk.
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 13
Scanners and Cameras
The controls for a digital camera are very similar to those for an analog, or film, camera. To take a photo, simply point and shoot.
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 14
Scanners and Cameras Digital cameras use storage medium
– Solid state storage Transfer images using:
– Card readers– Direct cable transfer– Infrared port– Docking station– E-mail
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 15
Scanners and Cameras Graphics software is used to modify or edit bitmap graphics
– Modify individual pixels to• Retouch photographs• Wipe out red eye• Erase rabbit ears
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 16
Image Resolution Expressed as the number of horizontal and vertical pixels
– Higher resolutions contain more data (larger file size) and are higher quality
Bitmaps do not have a fixed physical size
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 17
Image Resolution File size of bitmaps can be reduced by cropping Bitmaps are resolution dependent
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 18
Image Resolution When you increase the resolution of a bitmap, pixel
interpolation may occur– Some images may appear pixilated
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 19
Color Depth and Palettes Color depth is the number of colors available for use in an
image– Monochrome bitmap
Increasing color depth increases file size– True Color bitmap (24-bit bitmap)– 32-bit bitmap
Color palettes are used to control color depth– Grayscale palette– System palette– Web palette
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 21
Image Compression Any technique that recodes data in an image file so it
contains fewer bits– Lossless compression– Lossy compression
File compression utility
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 22
Image Compression
File compression utilities, such as open source 7-Zip, zip one or more files into a new compressed file with a .zip extension.

Vector and 3-D GraphicsVector and 3-D Graphics Vector Graphics Basics Vector-to-Bitmap Conversion Vector Graphics on the Web 3-D Graphics
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 26
Vector Graphic Basics Vector graphics resize better than bitmaps Vector graphics usually require less storage space than
bitmaps Vector graphics are not usually as realistic as bitmap images It is easier to edit an object in a vector graphic than an object
in a bitmap graphic
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 28
Vector-to-Bitmap Conversion Rasterization superimposes
a grid over a vector image and determines the color for each pixel
Tracing software locates the edges of objects in a bitmap image and converts the resulting shapes into vector graphic objects
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 29
Vector Graphics on the Web SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and Flash are vector
graphic formats for the Web Advantages of using
vector graphics– Consistent quality– Searchable– Compact file size
Flash Animated GIF
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 30
3-D Graphics Stored as a set of instructions
– Contain locations and lengths of lines forming a wireframe Rendering covers a wireframe with surface color and texture Ray tracing adds light and shadows to a 3-D image
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 31
3-D Graphics
3-D graphics are based on a wireframe, which can be rendered into a bitmap image that looks three-dimensional.

Digital VideoDigital Video Digital Video Basics Producing Video Footage Video Transfer Video Editing Video Output Desktop, PDA, and Web Video DVD-Video
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 33
Digital Video Basics Uses bits to store color and brightness data for each video
frame Different kinds of digital videos:
– Desktop video– Web-based video– DVD-video– PDA video
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 35
Producing Video Footage Use digital or analog video camera to shoot video footage
– Digital video cameras store footage as a series of bits
– Analog video cameras store video signals as a continuous track of magnetic patterns
– Videoconferencing cameras (Web cam) attach directly to a computer
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 37
Video Transfer Transfer video footage by connecting a cable between a
video camera and computer Video capture converts analog video signals into digital
format
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 39
Video Transfer Raw, uncompressed formats are ideal for editing Video capture software can:
– Decrease video display size– Reduce the frame rate– Compress data
8 Video Editing Linear editing
– Requires at least two VCRs
Nonlinear editing– Requires a computer
hard disk and video editing software

Chapter 8: Digital Media 43
Desktop, PDA, and Web Video Desktop videos are usually displayed on a computer screen Some PDAs and smartphones can be configured to play
digital video Web-based videos
– Streaming video
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 44
Desktop, PDA, and Web Video You can add external or internet videos to a Web page
Internet connection speed affects Web videos Web video formats include Flash Video, MPEG4, QuickTime
Movie, Windows Movie, and RealMedia
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 45
DVD-Video Incorporate digital videos onto DVDs with interactive menus
– DVD authoring software
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 46
DVD-Video With advance planning, menus are easy to create Output video in DVD-video format A DVD image is a prototype of your DVD
– Stored on your computer’s hard disk Thoroughly test DVD on your computer before you burn it Recordable vs. rewritable DVDs

Digital Rights ManagementDigital Rights Management DRM Basics Signal Scrambling and Digital Watermarks CD Copy Protection DVD DRM DRM for Digital Downloads
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 48
DRM Basics Digital rights management (DRM) is a collection of
techniques used by copyright holders to limit access and use of digital content– Time shifting– Place shifting– Format shifting
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 49
Signal Scrambling and Digital Watermarks
A digital watermark is a pattern of bits inserted at various places in an image or a content stream that can be used to track, identify, verify, and control content use
Signal scrambling is a term commonly used for obscuring cable or satellite television images until they are unscrambled by a set-top box or other authorized mechanism
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 50
CD Copy Protection Copy protection refers to technologies designed to prohibit
consumers from copying content
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 51
DVD DRM Copy generation management is a digital watermark that
specifies the number of times a content stream can be duplicated
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 52
DVD DRM An analog protection system is any DRM technology that
interjects signals into the video stream to prevent analog output from being copied
CSS (Content Scramble System) is a DRM technology designed to encrypt and control the use of content stored on DVDs
8
Chapter 8: Digital Media 54
DVD DRM A DVD region code
specifies geographical area of legitimate use for DVD disks and players
AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is a DRM technology designed to encrypt and protect content on optical disks
