6.1 Video Concept
Video is an excellent tool for delivering multimedia. Video places the highest performance demand on
computer and its memory and storage. Digital video has replaced analog video as the method
of choice for making and delivering video for multimedia.
4
6.1 Video Concept
Digital video device produces excellent finished products at a fraction of the cost of analog.
Digital video eliminates the image-degrading analog-to-digital conversion.
Many digital video sources exist, but getting the rights can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.

6.2 Analogue Video
Video information that is stored using television video signals, film, videotape or other non-computer media
Each frame is represented by a fluctuating voltage signal known as an analogue wave form or composite video.
6
6.2 Analogue Video Composite analogue video has all the video
components: brightness, colour and synchronization
Then combined into one signal for delivery Example : traditional television Problems: colour blending, low clarity, high generation
lost, difficult to edit.

Digitizing Video
Digital video combines features of graphics and audio to create dynamic content for multimedia products.
Video is simply moving pictures. Digitized video can be edited more easily. Digitized video files can be extremely large.
8
Digitizing Video
Digital video is often used to capture content from movies and television to be used in multimedia.
A video source (video camera ,VCR, TV or videodisc) is connected to a video capture card in a computer.
As the video source is played, the analog signal is sent to the video card and converted into a digital file (including sound from the video).

6.3 Digital Video
Digital video is the digitisation of analogue video signals into numerical format
It creates the illusion of full motion by displaying a rapid sequence of changing images on a display device.
Conversion from analogue to digital format requires the use on an ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter)
A Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) can be used to output digital video on analogue equipment
11
6.3 Digital Video
Video clip stored on any mass-storage device can be played back on a computer’s monitor without special hardware.
Setting up a production environment for making digital video, requires some hardware specifications.
Some specifications include computer with FireWire connection and cables, fast processor, plenty of RAM, fast and big hard disk.
12
File Size and Formats
There is an important consideration: file size in digitized video which included
1. frame rate
2. image size
3. color depth.
13
File Size and Formats
1. Frame Rate animation is an illusion caused by the rapid
display of still images. television and movies play at 30 fps but
acceptable playback can be achieved with 15 fps.
14
File Size and Formats
2. Image Size A standard full screen resolution is 640x480 pixels but to
safe storing space a video with 320x240 for a computer display is still acceptable.
New high-definition televisions (HDTV) are capable of resolutions up to 1920×1080p60, 1920 pixels per scan line by 1080 scan lines,
progressive, at 60 frames per second.
15
File Size and Formats
3. Color Depth The quality of video is dependent on the color quality
(related to the number of colors) for each bitmap in the frame sequence.
16
3. Color Depth The color depth below 256 colors is poorer-quality image. The frame rate to below 15 fps causes a noticeable and
distracting jerkiness that unacceptable. Changing the image size and compressing the file therefore
become primary ways of reducing file size.
File Size and Formats
24 bit 8 bit (256 colors)16 bit

Video Editing Terminology
Linear It plays end to end in one direction, usually
pertains to videotape editing specifically the editing of linear tape segments into one final master tape.
18
Video Editing Terminology
Non-linear Refers to the editing of disk-based digital video. The software provides an on screen map of what
the final video sequences should look like incorporating the edits, splices, special effects, transitions and sound tracks.
19
Special Effects
Transitions Such as fading, wiping, splatters, scrolling, stipple and many
more are available by simply dragging and dropping that transition between the two video clips.
20
Special Effects
Superimposing The ability to superimpose one clip over another is a valuable
technique. The technique of green screening is identical except that the
color green is used for the screen and later digitally removed. The blue screen and green screen superimposing are just two
of the superimposing technique available.
21
Special Effects
Superimposing Digital video editing applications provide special effect filters
to create lens flares and emboss, tint, pan, twist and zoom the video image.
These special effects can often be set up to change over the duration of the video clip.
22
6.4 Video Compression The video compression/decompression programs are used so that video can fit on a single
CD and the speed of transferring video from a CD to the computer can be increased. Let us say that a sequence of 25fps video is about 25MB. CD-ROM transfer rate is calculated as follows:
1X= 150KB per second 10X=1.5 MB per second 100X= 15 MB per secondt
To overcome large video size, CODECS were developed.

File format used such as: Avi, Mpeg, Mov
Decompresses when needed

6.4 Video Compression
Digital video compression schemes or codecs is the algorithm used to compress (code) a video for delivery.
The codec then decodes the compressed video in real-time for fast playback.
Streaming audio and video starts playback as soon as enough data has transferred to the user’s computer to sustain this playback.

6.4 Video Compression
Two types of COMPRESSION:Lossless compression.
Preserves the exact image throughout the compression and decompression process. E.g: text images is to identify repeating words and assign them a code.
25
6.4 Video Compression
Two types of COMPRESSION:Lossy compression.
Eliminates some of the data in the image and therefore provides greater compression ratios than lossless compression.
Applied to video because some drop in the quality is not noticeable in moving images.
26
6.4 Video Compression
Two types of CODEC (lossy):Spatial compression
a digital compression of video data that compresses the size of the video file by compressing the image data of each frame
Compression is done by removing redundancy from data in the same frame.
27
6.4 Video Compression
Two types of CODEC:Temporal compression
a digital compression of video data that uses similarities of sequential frames over time to determine and store only the image data that differs from frame to frame.
Compression is done by removing similarity between successive video frames
28
6.4 Video Compression
Flavors of file formats brand to choose:Microsoft’s AVI formatQuickTimeMPEGDiv-XWmv (Windows Media Video)
29
6.4 Video Compression
Standards have been established for compression programs, including JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) and MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group).
30
JPEG (Spatial)
Often areas of an image (especially backgrounds) contain similar information.
JPEG compression identifies these area and stores them as blocks of pixels instead of pixel by pixel reducing the amount of information needed to store the image.
These program reduce the file size of graphic images by eliminating redundant information.
31
MPEG (Temporal)
The changes in the image from frame to frame.
Key frames are identified every few frames the changes that occur from key frame.
Provide greater compression ratios than JPEG.
Initially, it requires extra hardware for multimedia.

Video Editing Software Incorporating transitions such as dissolves, wipes and spin. Superimposing titles and animating them, such as fly-in logo. Applying special effects to various images, such as twisting,
zooming, rotating and distorting. Synchronizing sound with the video. Apply filters that control color balance, brightness & contrast,
blurring, distortions and morphing.

Advantages of using Video
Captures interestIncrease retentionClarifies complex physical actions and
relationshipsCan incorporate other media
35
Disadvantages of using Video
Is expensive to produceRequires extensive memory and storageRequires special equipmentDoes not effectively illustrate abstract
concepts and static situations

Summary
Digital video method is used for making and delivering video for multimedia.
Compression techniques help to reduce the file sizes to more manageable levels
Two types of compression lossless and lossy.
Standards for compression program are JPEG and MPEG.
