Study Notes
Web Design and Multimedia - INTECH 2100
- Course focuses on multimedia, specifically video, including types, frame rates, and formats.
Types of Multimedia - Video
- Video is a visual multimedia application combining images and sound to create moving pictures.
- Videos allow viewers to see actual events rather than descriptions.
- A video is a sequence of images/pictures.
Frames Per Second (FPS)
- FPS measures how many images/frames appear per second.
- 60 FPS (frames per second) shows motion smoother than 24 FPS.
- 24 FPS is the standard for movies and TV shows.
- 15, 30 FPS are also common.
- Higher FPS (e.g., 60 FPS) creates slow-motion effects or captures fast-moving events like sports.
- 240 FPS and above capture very fast movements, ideal for slow-motion effects.
Video Formats and File Types
- Different formats and sizes (e.g., MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV) for video.
- File size and quality vary, and bit rate determines the quality of the video.
- Modern formats (MP4) support streaming.
- Older formats (AVI) tend to have larger file sizes.
Analog Video
- Analog video is a continuous signal, representing information as fluctuating electrical signals.
- Analog signals are susceptible to degradation and noise over time.
- Analog video uses tapes (e.g., VHS, S-VHS, Hi-8, Betacam SP).
- Analog video is harder to store, more prone to damage.
- Editing involves physical cuts to the tape, which is slower versus digital.
Digital Video
- Digital video stores information as discrete numerical values (0 and 1), thus resisting degradation and noise more effectively than analog video.
- Digital video can be easily transferred, edited, and copied without a loss of quality.
- Digital video formats include DVD, Blu-ray, and container formats (MP4).
- Digital video uses techniques, like adaptive streaming, to adjust video qualities for varying network conditions.
Video Resolution
- Video resolution refers to the number of pixels displayed on the screen horizontally and vertically, impacting clarity and detail (e.g., 480P, 720P, 1080P, 4K).
- Higher resolution (4K) creates sharper images.
Aspect Ratio
- Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and height of a video frame.
- Common aspect ratios include 4:3 (older format) and 16:9 (current standard for most high-definition content).
Frame Size
- Frame size is used to represent the dimensions (width x height) of each individual video frame.
- Higher resolution (e.g., 1920 x 1080) results in more pixels/sharper images.
Bit Depth
- Bit depth or colour depth is the number of bits used to represent each pixel in a video frame which determines the range of colours and level of detail each colour can have. Higher bit depths mean more colours and shades.
Video File Formats
- List of common video file formats (e.g., MPEG, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, MKV, MP4, ASF).
- Each format has specific characteristics or advantages in terms of size, streaming, ability to play on various digital devices.
Video for Web Design
- Short video clips can be played inline with webpages which are ideal for short-form content while longer videos are better suited for platforms providing playback functions (YouTube, Vimeo).
- Technical factors to consider include video formats, sizes, quality optimization, and considerations of viewer bandwidth, and user experience (autoplay video controls).
- Adaptive streaming allows users to see content even in cases where internet speeds are slower by delivering lower resolution videos that adjust with bandwidth.
Bitrate
- Bitrate measures data transferred per second which determines the quality of the video with a higher bit rate meaning better quality for the video. Bitrate also relates to the size of the video file or video, with a larger bit rate typically resulting in a larger or bigger file size or video.
- Various factors such as video resolution, frame rates, and compression impact a video file's bit rate.
