Study Notes
Input and Output Devices
- Input devices allow users to enter data into a computer and interact with it, while output devices display the processed input in a way that is easy for humans to understand.
Output Devices
- Monitor/Display Screen:
- Types of display technologies: Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), and Light Emitting Diode (LED)
- Key features: Resolution (measured in pixels), Refresh Rate (measured in Hz), Response Time (measured in ms), and Aspect Ratio (width:height)
- Printer:
- Types of printers: Dot Matrix, Inkjet, and Laser
- Key features: Resolution (measured in DPI), Speed (measured in pages per minute)
- Speaker:
- Converts digital audio data into an analog signal using the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) in the sound card
Input Devices
- Keyboard:
- Components: Alphanumeric keys, Function keys, Special keys, and Navigation keys
- Connectivity: USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth
- Microphone:
- Captures and converts sound waves into an electrical signal
- Used for voice communication, recording, voice recognition, and more
- Digital Camera and Webcam:
- Both serve as imaging devices, but designed for different primary functions
- Webcam: used for video conferencing, live streaming, and online communication
- Digital Camera: used for photography and videography
- Touchscreen:
- A direct manipulation input device that allows users to interact with a digital display using touch gestures
- Scanner:
