Study Notes
- Output refers to processed information or data produced by a computer.
- Output devices are hardware components, like monitors or printers, that communicate information to users.
Interactive Whiteboards
- Interactive whiteboards are touch-sensitive devices that project an image using a data projector.
- Presenters can control the displayed image by touching it directly.
- Computers connected to interactive whiteboards can be controlled via remote controls or digital pens.
- Virtual keyboards can be used, freeing users from needing to sit at the computer.
Monitors
- Resolution is the number of pixels that can be displayed, with higher resolutions producing sharper images.
- Color depth refers to the number of colors a monitor can display.
Printers
- Print quality is measured in dots per inch (dpi), and higher dpi values equate to higher quality printouts.
Wireless Technology
- Output devices can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Device Drivers
- Device drivers are small programs facilitating communication between hardware devices and the operating system.
- Drivers can be found on CDs/DVDs included with hardware, manufacturer websites, or third-party websites.
- Some devices, like smartphones, store device drivers on a ROM chip internally.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is used with a scanner to read and convert text from scanned documents.
Stylus
