Audio Video
Multimedia Computer Architecture
A computer system providing multiple processors or masters an architecture for highly concurrent processing and data throughput.
Audio Hardware
High Definition Audio, also known as HD Audio or by its codename, Azalia, is an audio standard created by Intel to be used on their chipsets, i.e., it is a standard for high-quality on-board audio. In this tutorial we will explain more about this feature.
Analog vs Digital
Analog and digital signals are used to transmit information, usually through electric signals. In both these technologies, the information, such as any audio or video, is transformed into electric signals. The difference between analog and digital technologies is that in analog technology, information is translated into electric pulses of varying amplitude. In digital technology, translation of information is into binary format (zero or one) where each bit is representative of two distinct amplitudes.
Input and Output
An input device sends information to a computer system for processing, and an output device reproduces or displays the results of that processing.
Input Devices:
a) Graphics Tablets
b) Cameras
c) Video Capture Hardware
d) Trackballs
e) Barcode reader
f) Digital camera

Stages of Production
The three main stages of production are:
Pre-production: Planning, scripting & storyboarding, etc.
Production: The actual shooting/recording.
Post-production: Everything between production and creating the final master copy.
Digital Audio and Video
is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form.
Video Hardware-HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a proprietary audio/video interface for transferring uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant source device, such as a display controller, to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device.
