Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of compression in multimedia technology?

  • To increase the storage space required for multimedia data
  • To increase the bandwidth required for multimedia data
  • To reduce the total number of bits needed to represent multimedia information (correct)
  • To slow down the transmission of multimedia data

    • In the context of compression, what does a lossless compression scheme mean?

  • It reduces the resolution of multimedia files
  • It increases the entropy of the multimedia source
  • It only works with raw media files
  • It induces no information loss during the compression and decompression processes (correct)

    • How is the compression ratio (B0 compression ratio) calculated?

  • (B0 - B1) / B0
  • B0 / B1 (correct)
  • (B1 - B0) / B1
  • (B1 + B0) / 2
