What are the examples of the multimedia media classifications clearly showing their importance to multimedia?

Answer 1

The Multimedia PC, or MPC, was a recommended configuration for a PC with a http://www.answers.com/topic/cd-rom drive. The standard was set and named by the "Multimedia PC Marketing Council", which was a working group of the http://www.answers.com/topic/software-and-information-industry-association (now the Software and Information Industry Association). The MPMC comprised companies including http://www.answers.com/topic/microsoft, http://www.answers.com/topic/creative-technology, http://www.answers.com/topic/dell-technology, http://www.answers.com/topic/gateway-computers-1, and http://www.answers.com/topic/fujitsu. Any PC with the required standards could be called an "MPC" by licensing the use of the logo from the SPA. CD-ROM drives were just coming to market in http://www.answers.com/topic/1990, and it was difficult to concisely communicate to a consumer all the hardware requirements for using "multimedia software", which mostly meant "displaying video on a PC via a CD-ROM drive". The MPC standard was supposed to communicate this concisely, so a consumer buying hardware or software could simply look for the MPC logo and be assured of compatibility. The MPC program was never a success and it is rare today to see software or hardware labeled with the term "MPC". As the standardized term failed to catch on, and as the Software Publishers Association turned away from consumer software in the late http://www.answers.com/topic/ninety, interest in the MPC standard vanished. The problem of software labeling continues, especially in the field of http://www.answers.com/topic/personal-computer-game, where a plethora of 3D video cards has been manufactured with an extremely wide range of display capabilities, and no common industry labeling standard to let consumers know whether their card is powerful enough to let them play a particular game. The first MPC minimum standard, set in 1990, was: * 16 http://www.answers.com/topic/hertz http://www.answers.com/topic/386sx CPU * 2 http://www.answers.com/topic/megabyte http://www.answers.com/topic/ram-memory-device * 30 MB http://www.answers.com/topic/hard-disk-drive-1 * http://www.answers.com/topic/8-bit-color, 640×480 http://www.answers.com/topic/video-graphics-array video card * 1x (single speed) http://www.answers.com/topic/cd-rom drive using no more than 40% of CPU to read, with < 1 second http://www.answers.com/topic/seek-time * http://www.answers.com/topic/sound-card outputting 22 kHz, http://www.answers.com/topic/quantization-sound-processing; and inputting 11 kHz, 8-bit sound * http://www.answers.com/topic/windows-3-0 with Multimedia Extensions. In 1993, an MPC Level 2 minimum standard was announced: * 25 MHz http://www.answers.com/topic/intel-80486sx CPU * 4 MB RAM * 160 MB hard disk * http://www.answers.com/topic/16-bit-color, 640×480 VGA video card * 2x (double speed) CD-ROM drive using no more than 40% of CPU to read at 1x, with < 400 http://www.answers.com/topic/1-e-3-s seek time * Sound card outputting 44 kHz, 16-bit "http://www.answers.com/topic/compact-disc" sound. * Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions, or http://www.answers.com/topic/windows-3-1x In 1996, MPC Level 3 was announced: * 75 MHz http://www.answers.com/topic/pentium CPU * 8 MB RAM * 540 MB hard disk * Video system that can show 352×240 at 30 http://www.answers.com/topic/frame-rate, 16-bit color * http://www.answers.com/topic/mpeg-1 hardware or software video playback * 4x CD-ROM drive using no more than 40% of CPU to read, with < 250 ms http://www.answers.com/topic/seek-time * Sound card outputting 44 kHz, 16-bit "CD quality" sound. * http://www.answers.com/topic/windows-3-1x

Answer 2

Classification of media types:

Classification of media types

Captured Versus Synthesized Media:

Media Captured media refers to information types captured from the real world (e.g. Still pictures, moving pictures, and sound). Synthesized media refers to information types synthesized by the computers (e.g. Text, graphics and computer animation).

Discrete Versus Continuous Media:Discrete Versus Continuous Media Discrete media refers to media involving space dimension only (e.g. Still images, text and graphics). Discrete media is also referred to as static media or non-time-based media or non-temporal media or space-based media. Continuous (time based) media refers to time-based media (e.g. Sound, moving images, and animation). Continuous media is also referred to as dynamic media or time-based media or temporal media. Multi-sensory system:Multi-sensory system According to Dr. Albert Mehrabian, a specialist in interpersonal communication at the University of California, says: Multimedia allows for seeing, hearing and doing (multi-sensory system) People recall 20% of what they see 40% of what they see & hear 70% of what they see, hear & do
