DIGITAL MEDIA
(UNIT H)

Digital graphics are images that have been created

as or converted to a digital format. There are many
sources for digital graphics; for example, images
converted by a scanner, photos from a digital
camera or sent as an e-mail attachment, and most
Web page graphics

• Bitmap graphic, also called a raster graphic,

or simply a bitmap, is composed of a grid of
dots.
• Scanner can use to convert image into a bitmap
graphic

WORKING WITH COLOR

Color depth refers to the number of colors

available for use in an image.
• Monochrome bitmap graphic is displayed by
manipulating the pattern of on and off pixels
displayed on screen.
• 32 bit bitmap graphic displays 16.7 million
colors just like a 24-bit bitmap.

• Color Palette also called a color lookup table

or color map, holds the selection of colors and
allows you to select a group of colors to use
to use for a bitmap graphic

• Grayscale Palette displays an image using

shades of gray.

• System Palette is the selection of colors used

by the operating system for the graphics that
represent the desktop icons and controls.

• Web Palette contains a standard set of colors

used by internet web browser.

• Dithering uses patterns composed of two or more

colors to produce the illusion of additional
colors and shading

• VECTOR GRAPHICS consists of set of instructions

for creating a picture. It is also formed from
 lines and shapes, which can be colored or
shaded; this image was created with a series of
roughly rectangular objects for the stones and
circular object for the sun

• Gradient is a smooth blending of shades from

one color to another or from light to dark.

• Digitizing tablet provides a flat surface for a

paper-based drawing, and a pen or puck is used
to click the endpoints of each on the drawing.

• TRACING SOFTWARE locates the edges of objects

in a bitmap graphic and converts the resulting
shapes into vector graphic objects.

DIGITAL VIDEO is filmed sequences of images or

footage of real objects.

• Desktop video refers to videos that are

constructed and displayed using a personal
computer.
• Web-based video refers to digital video
incorporated in Web pages and accused with a
browser; it might use one of several different
formats.
• DVD-VIDEO refers to digital video used for
commercial DVDs that contain feature-length
films and that use a DVD format.

EXPLORING VIDEO EQUIPMENT

• Digital video camera stores footage as
digital data, that is, as a series of bits.
• Video Capture device converts the camera’s
analog signal into digital data.
• Analog video camera use to shoot the footage
for the desktop video
• Video capture software which allows starting
the transfer and selecting the display size,
frame rate, filename, and file format for
video footage.

INTRODUCING DIGITAL SOUND

• Waveform audio is a digital representation of
sound, music, and sound effects.
• MP3 encoder is used to convert the wave file
into mp3 format. MP3 files can be stored on
computer’s hard disk, transfer to a CD, or
relocated to portable MP3 player
• Digital signal processor transform digital bits
into analog waves when waveform audio file is
being played, transforms analog waves into
 digital bits when a sound recording is being
made, and handles compression

EXPLORING SYNTHESIZED SOUND

• MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
specifies a standard way to store music data
for synthesizers, electronic MIDI instruments,
and computers.
• Speech recognition software analyzes the sounds
of voice and breaks them down into phonemes.

TECH TALK DATA COMPRESSION

DATA COMPRESSION is the general term used to
describe the process of recording data so that it
requires fewer bytes of storage space; bytes are
removed, which reduces the file size.
• COMPRESSION RATIO OF 20:1 for example, means
that a compressed file is 20 times smaller than
the original file.
• LOSSLESS COMPRESSION provides the means to
compress a file and then reconstitute all the
data into its signal state.
• Lossy compression throws away some of the
original data during the compression process.
• Dictionary-based compression replaces common
sequences of characters with a single codeword,
or symbol, that points either to a dictionary
of the original characters or to the original
occurrence of the word.
• Statistical compression takes advantage of the
frequency of characters to reduce file size.
• Spatial compression takes advantage of
redundant data within the file by looking for
patterns of bytes and replacing them with a
message that describes the pattern.
