High Bandwidth Acoustics – Transients/Phase/ and the Human Ear
Project Number: FB IQP HB10 HIGH BANDWIDTH ACOUSTICS – TRANSIENTS/PHASE/ AND THE HUMAN EAR An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Samir Zutshi 8/26/2010 Approved: Professor Frederick Bianchi, Major Advisor Daniel Foley, Co-Advisor Abstract Life over 20 kHz has been a debate that resides in the audio society today. The research presented in this paper claims and confirms the existence of data over 20 kHz. Through a series of experiments involving various microphone types, sampling rates and six instruments, a short-term Fourier transform was applied to the transient part of a single note of each instrument. The results are graphically shown in spectrum form alongside the wave file for comparison and analysis. As a result, the experiment has given fundamental evidence that may act as a base for many branches of its application and understanding, primarily being the effect of this lost data on the ears and the mind.

Define Multimedia 2. Define the scope and applications of multimedia 3. Distinguish between Multimedia Presentation and Production 4. Understand how a multimedia presentation is created 1.2 INTRODUCTION Multimedia refers to content that uses a combination of different content forms. This contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia includes a 2 combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, or interactivity content forms. Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed, 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; by including audio, for example, it has a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application.

Describing a Digital World
DESCRIBING A DIGITAL WORLD New Media Descriptors in the AAT ITWG: August 2017 Antonio Beecroft, Editor Getty Vocabulary Program AAT Expansion • The AAT is always expanding to accommodate new genres, media, standards, processes, and techniques. • New terms are determined by literary warrant. • New media diverges from traditional media regarding material (and even objecthood), and significantly in dimension. New Media Descriptors • New media works often exist in or use proprietary formats or standards not usually entered in the AAT: Flash Quicktime • Terminology is in flux: often there is no consensus, or terms for a single concept may have many slight variations. • Genre terms are not stabilized, and are coined haphazardly. • Terms are used interchangeably: DPI PPI Measurements, Standards, and Documented Sizes • Measurements per unit for traditional media: value (count) + extent (chain lines) + qualifier (per inch). • CONA Here you would note the count in the Dimensions field of a work record, not as an AAT term, the number of chain lines per inch. This is specific to the item being cataloged, not a standard measurement. Distinctions will be worked out as the hierarchy grows, regarding usage of “dots per inch” “pixels per inch” and units related to the resolution of digital images. Measurements: Traditional Media Title: Mosaic Floor Panel Artist/Maker: Unknown Culture: Roman Place: between Bacoli and Pozzuoli, Italy (Place found) Date: 4th century Medium: Stone tesserae Dimensions: 149.2 × 151.1 × 10.2 cm (58 3/4 ×59 1/2 ×4 in.)
