  • B.Com – 6Th Semester Multimedia Unit-5 Multimedia
    RCUB, B.Com – 6th Semester Multimedia RANI CHANNAMMA UNIVERSITY B.Com – 6th Semester Multimedia Unit-5 Multimedia Multimedia: ‘Multi’ – means many and ‘media’ – means medium. We need a suitable medium to exchange our thoughts and express our feelings. The term multimedia refers to combination of more than one such medium for communication and conveying of information. Definition Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (i.e., text, graphics drawings, images). 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 can be recorded and played, displayed, interacted with or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Multimedia devices are electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in fine art; for example, by including audio it has a broader scope. In the early years of multimedia the term "rich media" was synonymous with interactive multimedia, and "hypermedia" was an application of multimedia. Multimedia is the field concerned with the computer-controlled integration of text, graphics, drawings, still and moving images (Video), animation, audio, and any other media where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and processed digitally. Applications of Multimedia: Nowadays the application of multimedia are observed in various fields such as Education, Entertainment, Business and so on.

  • Streaming Networks with VLC
    Streaming networks with VLC Streaming networks with VLC By Jean-Paul Saman, <[email protected]> Introduction The VideoLAN project started at L'Ecole Central des Paris in 1996. Its goal was to develop high quality streaming for the Campus network. In 2001 the project went Open Source providing a complete High Quality Streaming solution available under the GPL. Today the VideoLAN project is know for its adherence to international streaming standards. The multimedia client and server known as VLC is used as test tool, by Universities, R&D departments, Mobile-, Cable modem-, Settopbox- and Streaming Server manufacturers. VLC is also used in commercial products (Freebox, Di.com). A common misconception is that ªVLC media playerº is only a client, but it is also a multimedia streamer. Originally it was only a client, but since it gained multimedia streaming capabilities the difference between client and server functionality has vanished and the name was changed from VideoLAN Client to VLC media player. The naming contributes to the confusion that some new users experience. The VideoLAN project provides a complete streaming solution that is ready to be deployed in an enterprise or home streaming system. It includes a streaming server, client and mini-SAP server for multiple platforms. (C) 2006, Jean-Paul Saman Page 1/17 Streaming networks with VLC Figure 1: VideoLAN network architecture Figure 1 shows that VLC can use different types of hardware as input. To name a few: DVD-, VCD-, SVCD drives, Acquisition-, Encoding cards (PVR 250/350), Satellite dish (DVB-S/C) and Terrestrial TV (DVB-T).

  • SAFARI Montage® Videolan VLC Media Player Compatibility • C:\Program Files (X86)\SAFARI Montage\SAFARI Montage Media Player\ for Workstations Running Apple® OS X A
    ® SAFARI Montage VideoLAN VLC Media Player Compatibility Review any questions with Technical Support before continuing. Please note that SAFARI Montage Technical Support is available Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time, and they may be contacted by telephone at 800-782-7230 or online via http://www.safarimontage.com/support. Overview: When installed on client computers, the SAFARI Montage® Media Player is compatible with the use of the VideoLAN VLC media player for streaming media playback. Please note that the SAFARI Montage Media Player does not contain the VLC media player files and that the customer is solely responsible for the distribution of, and obtaining any licensing for, the use of VLC Media Player files. With the introduction of SAFARI Montage v5.9, the SAFARI Montage Media Player (SMMP) now accommodates the use of a specific version of VLC libraries when placed in the SMMP program directory. VLC libraries need only to be copied to the SMMP program folder and it’s expected that most districts will simply include VLC libraries as part of their imaging process or push out as part of their normal workstation update process. If the VLC libraries are not found in the SMMP subdirectory, SMMP will attempt to use a full version of VLC if installed on client computers. SAFARI Montage tests the compatibility of specific versions of the VLC media player libraries, and strongly recommends that districts deploy a specific set of VLC libraries in the SAFARI Montage Media Player subdirectory to avoid conflict with a separately installed full version of VLC.

The video player plays a vital role in presenting the streaming video which is utmost important for content providers. It has a huge impact on user experience. Wireless networks are vulnerable to noise, interface and have bandwidth limitations. Due to the intrinsic vulnerability of the communication channel and large number of variables involved, simulations alone are not enough in the evaluation of the performance of the wireless networks and performance of the video in the player is to be considered. When there are disturbances or shortages of capacity in the network, network disconnection or sender failure, the video player stops.

  • Video Encoding with Open Source Tools
    Video Encoding with Open Source Tools Steffen Bauer, 26/1/2010 LUG Linux User Group Frankfurt am Main Overview Basic concepts of video compression Video formats and codecs How to do it with Open Source and Linux 1. Basic concepts of video compression Characteristics of video streams Framerate Number of still pictures per unit of time of video; up to 120 frames/s for professional equipment. PAL video specifies 25 frames/s. Interlacing / Progressive Video Interlaced: Lines of one frame are drawn alternatively in two half-frames Progressive: All lines of one frame are drawn in sequence Resolution Size of a video image (measured in pixels for digital video) 768/720×576 for PAL resolution Up to 1920×1080p for HDTV resolution Aspect Ratio Dimensions of the video screen; ratio between width and height. Pixels used in digital video can have non-square aspect ratios! Usual ratios are 4:3 (traditional TV) and 16:9 (anamorphic widescreen) Why video encoding?

  • Ubuntu Releases
    APPENDIX A Ubuntu Releases Ubuntu is the result of tens of thousands of software projects coming together and receiving polish and integration. From the incredible work done by the Debian project to the focused effort by the Ubuntu community, this takes time and care. Canonical drives much of the design for the Unity interface and the foundational work done to support cloud, server, phone, and embedded platforms. But the bulk of the actual development and coding is done by the greater Free Software community. Release Schedule Every six months, Ubuntu syncs its software repositories with Debian and works to polish and improve the software, sending general fixes back “upstream” to Debian whenever possible. After another couple of months, the software has improved and a new Ubuntu release is made. When the Ubuntu project officially launched in 2004, it promised a new release every 6 months, with security and maintenance support for 18 months. Each release was given a version number matching the year and month of its release, so the first version of Ubuntu which was released in October 2004 was called Ubuntu 4.10. After only six months of development, the release was very promising but still had some rough edges. The developers jokingly gave it the code name “warty warthog.” The software repository was named “warty.” Ubuntu 5.04 followed six months later in April and was a marked improvement. To celebrate the extra maturity of the software, it was code-named “hoary hedgehog.” Ubuntu releases are typically referred to by their release number or the adjective part of the code name.
