Since Multimedia technology and multimedia system are complementary part of each other ,so the difference between them is not so crucial. But one can pinpoint following differences:
1. Multimedia technology is computer based interactive applications having multiple media elements such as audio,video,text,image etc whereas multimedia system is the system that processes multimedia data and applications.
2. Multimedia system implements multimedia technologies and in turn it is used for enhancing multimedia technology whereas multimedia technology manages both the hardware and software to create and run multimedia system
A multimedia application refers to software designed to create, edit, or display various types of media content, such as text, audio, images, and video, often for specific tasks like presentations or entertainment. In contrast, a multimedia system encompasses the broader framework that includes hardware, software, and network components that work together to manage and deliver multimedia content. Essentially, an application is a component of a system, while a system integrates multiple applications and technologies to provide a cohesive multimedia experience.
Multimedia is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video and interactive content. Multimedia contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material
Multimedia is based on two key concepts; integration and interactivity while hypermedia is based on a relational database organisation

Files are generally stored in secondary storage devices, traditional file system employs contigious placement or non contigious placement in the disc space, however the challange in multimedia file systems are they are large and may have real time characterstics therefore they need separate paradiagm for file systems .some of them are Vedio servers , symphony, fellini .they support video , realtime multimedia parameters.
The difference between multimedia phones and smart phones are that smart phones run on an advanced mobile operating system. Multimedia phones do not and usually only have one or two major features such as high-quality sound or high resolution cameras.
Passive media does not require significant user activity or commands. Interactive multimedia in comparison is based on user control and manipulation. Interactive media includes gaming applications, where passive media can include the playback of audio files.
various classes of multimedia system
Multimedia system architecture is the designing of a system that can manipulate data. This data is in different forms such as sound, graphics and text.
