Digital still cameras – Available in a wide variety of sizes and capabilities – Primary appeal is images immediately available – Camera quality is measured in megapixels – Typically use flash memory for storage 31 Digital Still Cameras 32  Online Video “How Mobile Deposit Works” (click below to start video) Courtesy of Mitek Systems Reminder: The complete set of online videos and video podcasts are available at: www.cengage.com/computerconcepts/np/uc13 33  Digital Cameras Digital video cameras – Digital camcorders – PC video cameras (PC cams, Web cam) – Store images on digital media (flash memory, DVDs, hard drives, etc.) Applications: – Surveillance video cameras – Video conferences and Webinars 34  Audio Input Audio input: The process of entering audio data into the computer Voice input: Inputting spoken words and converting them to digital form – Via microphone or headset – Recorded for narrations, podcasts, etc. – VoIP (Voice over IP systems) applications – To provide spoken instructions to computer (speech recognition systems) Music input systems are used to input music – Microphones, keyboard controllers, etc. 35 Voice Input Systems 36  Quick Quiz 1.
