Multimedia Development and System Support Tools
Stages of a Multimedia Project
-
Planning and costing
-
Design and production
-
Testing
-
Delivery
-
Requirements for a multimedia project • Hardware • Software • Creativity and organizational skills
Planning and Costing
-
Analyze project needs by outlining objectives.
-
Outline required multimedia expertise.
-
Develop a graphic template, structure, and navigation system.
-
Estimate project time and create a budget.
-
Prepare a prototype or proof-of-concept.
-
Task planning involves:
-
Designing the instructional framework.
-
Holding creative idea sessions.
-
Determining the delivery and authoring platforms.
-
Assembling the team.
-
Building a prototype, producing audio/video, testing functionality, and delivering the final product.
- The planned tasks are performed to create a finished product.
- The product is revised based on continuous client feedback. -Designing requires knowledge of computers, graphics, arts, video, music, and ability to conceptualize logical pathways.
- Designing involves thinking, choosing, making, and doing.
Designing a Multimedia Project (Continued)
- Designing the structure
- Designing the user interface
Testing and Delivering
- Test program to ensure it meets objectives, works on proposed platforms, and meets client requirements (Alpha and Beta testing).
- Package and deliver final project to the end user.
Software
- Macintosh platform (launched in 1984: good audio/graphics, hardware/software for digitizing & video/DVD production, easier multimedia project development)
- Windows platform (collection of vendor-neutral components, initially focused on business computing, now easier to find multimedia software/hardware than with Macintosh)
Networking
-
Networking is essential for direct communication and sharing of resources across platforms.
-
Local Area Network (LAN): workstations located within a short distance, relatively less expensive.
-
Wide Area Network (WAN): communication systems span great distances, typically managed by corporations, expensive to install/maintain.
-
Dial-up connection to the internet (ISP) enables communication.
-
To establish communication between a Macintosh and Windows PC, install Ethernet system and client-server software.
-
Ethernet is a method of wiring up computers.
-
Client/server software is required for communication and file transfer.
-
Macintosh computers have built-in Ethernet networking, Windows PCs require an additional Ethernet card.
Hardware
- Connections: Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE), Universal Serial Bus (USB), FireWire, HDMI.
Storage Devices
- Floppy disk
- Hard disk
- Syquest cartridge
- Zip cartridge
- Jaz cartridge
- Magneto-optical drive
- Digital Versatile Disc (DVD):
- Compact disc (CD):
Input Devices
- Keyboard, mouse, trackball, touchscreen
- Magnetic card encoder and reader
- Graphic tablet
- Scanner
- Voice recognition system
- Digital camera
Output Devices
- Projectors, printers
Communication Devices
