Multimedia presentations. Fixed media

Multimedia is one of those software areas in which the "national character" is manifested as much as possible, therefore in this special issue we devote a separate article to it.

The concept of multimedia is very broad, this article will focus exclusively on home products. Home multimedia discs can be roughly divided into entertainment and educational. In turn, educational products can be implemented in the form of encyclopedic and reference publications, training programs or educational games. Platforms for the creation of educational programs are allocated to a separate class. These are a kind of universal constructors, on the basis of which the teacher creates his own set of lessons and tests. More details about training programs and tools for their development can be found in the article "Computer training programs and tools for their development" published in this issue of the journal.

In this article, along with a review of educational multimedia products, we will dwell in detail on domestic games.

It should be noted that in the development of games in our country in the last two years, there has literally been a breakthrough. Russian developments are becoming popular in the Western market, even though it is extremely saturated. Our developers manage to captivate the Western spoiled user. Projects "IL-2 Sturmovik" (developer - "1C: MaddoxGames", publisher - "1C"), "Corsairs" (developer - "Akella", publisher - "1C", "Truckers-2" (developer - SoftLab-Nsk , publisher - "1C") - all these are examples of projects that occupy the first lines of hit parades on Western sites. games will have as many episodes as the popular TV series. But, despite the successes in the western market, our developers do not forget about domestic game lovers. Obviously, projects such as the animated quest "12 chairs", which is being prepared by a well-known team developers from Voronezh - by Saturn Plus, new games about the Pilot brothers, which are being developed by 1C, or games about the Wolf and the Hare that have recently appeared on our market from the popular cartoon "Well, wait a minute!", are targeted specifically at the Russian user. okay about everything dku: as always, first of all, let's talk about new products and those projects that are just getting ready for release.

Multimedia Systems Laboratory. Mari State Technical University

On the pages of our magazine, we often talk about the products of well-known Moscow companies. However, in other cities of our country there are quite a few development centers where they create products of very high quality. We would like to draw your attention to the products of the Laboratory of Multimedia Systems of the Mari State Technical University.

In this center, a multimedia chemistry course was created, which was awarded the prize of an international exhibition. The course includes the following discs:

• "General and Inorganic Chemistry";
• "Organic chemistry";
• "Chemistry. Basic course".

The developers' approach to creating educational multimedia discs is unusual and based on 3D metaphors. The basic idea is that the computer screen is like a window to a new world. The metaphors of "theater" and "circus", represented by means of 3D graphics and elements of virtual reality, are the basis for the presentation of educational material and the organization of navigation on the CD-ROM.

Educational CD-ROMs should be no less interesting and attractive for children than computer games. The approach taken in the Chemistry multimedia course narrows the existing gap between educational CD-ROMs and games. At the Milia-2000 International Exhibition in Cannes (France), the Organic Chemistry CD-ROM won the New Talent Competition, in which 110 universities of the world took part. We will tell you about this product in more detail.

ComputerPress 7 "2002

Computer presentations- one of the types of multimedia projects that are used in advertising, during speeches, at conferences and meetings, used in the classroom in the process of explaining new material. When creating presentations, multimedia technologies are used that allow you to simultaneously use various ways of presenting information: numbers, text, graphics, animation, video and sound.

An important feature of multimedia technology is its interactivity , that is, the fact that in the dialogue with the computer, the user is assigned an active role. The graphical interface of multimedia projects usually contains controls (buttons, text boxes, and so on).

Lately, many multimedia software products have been created. These are encyclopedias from various areas of life (history, art, geography, biology, music) and educational programs (in foreign languages, physics, chemistry), and so on.

You should start studying new material by watching the presentations created earlier and pay attention not only to the semantic content of the presentations, but also to the design, animation, multimedia effects, soundtrack.

If you are preparing an extensive report, you need to keep in mind that listening to it may be too difficult for some listeners, and accompanying it with the necessary notes, drawings, schedules, which you will follow on the board during the report, may stretch the report too far in time. In this case, it is often useful to create an outline of the report and material in advance for distribution or demonstration to the audience. This is all called a presentation, and you've probably used it more than once. A multimedia presentation is the preparation of such material using certain software. On personal computers running Windows, Microsoft PowerPoint and Lotus Freelance Graphics are most commonly used for this purpose. The basic techniques of working with these programs are very similar, and all of them will be demonstrated below using the example of MS PowerPoint. Using this program, we can prepare a presentation using slides, which can then be printed on transparencies, paper, 35 mm slides, or simply demonstrated on a computer screen or projection screen or on the Internet, you can also create a summary of the report and material for distribution to listeners ... The presentation can be used as an accompanying material for the report, study guide or commercial etc.

PowerPoint creates a presentation file that has a name extension PPT or PPS and contains a set of slides. The program provides the user with a large number of presentation templates on various topics. These templates contain slides designed in a certain way. In the field of the slide, we can insert our text, graphics, as well as a table and diagram. In addition, we can change the artwork of any presentation template by choosing a design to our liking. In this case, only appearance presentation, not its content. And finally, we have enough time and feel the ability of a designer, we can start working on the presentation "from scratch" - PowerPoint has all the tools for this.

Presentations can be created for any school discipline or class hours and then demonstrate in the classroom using a multimedia projector.

Basic definitions on the topic:

- Computer presentation - a set of slides, united thematically using multimedia effects.
- Slide- the electronic page of the presentation.
- Interactivity- the ability for a person to control the course of the presentation while viewing it.
- Hyperlink- any slide object (picture, title, text, etc.), when used (mouse click), there is a transition to another slide, object, file, Internet page, etc.
- Animation- movement of any object within the slide.
- Project- creating a multimedia presentation.
- Multimedia- "multimedia", various types of information (sound, text, video, animation, etc.)
- Multimedia technology- techniques and methods for the creation, preservation and reproduction of multimedia information using computer technology.

Fixed media

Multimedia is a complex concept... Translated from Latin - "multimedia" (Multum - a lot, Media - environment). On the one hand, it means a special type of documents, and on the other hand, a special class of software and hardware.

Multimedia documents differ from ordinary ones in that, in addition to traditional text and graphic data, they can contain sound and musical objects, animated graphics (animation), video fragments. Multimedia software are software tools for creating and / or playing multimedia documents and objects.

Multimedia hardware is the equipment needed to create, store and play multimedia software. Historically, this includes a sound card, CD-ROM drive, and speakers (or headphones). This group of equipment is also called the basic multimedia kit. This means that multimedia is a complex of software and hardware that allows a person to interact with a computer using various media such as sound, video, text, graphics, animation, etc.

In recent years, the multimedia hardware class has been booming. So, it includes devices for processing television signals and playing TV programs (TV tuners), hardware for processing compressed video information (MPEG decoders), drives for playing digital video discs (DVD), equipment for recording CDs (CD-R and CD-RW) and much more.

With multimedia hardware (at least in the amount of a basic multimedia kit), the Windows operating system allows you to create, store and use multimedia objects and documents. Software tools designed for this purpose are in the category Programs Standard Entertainment.

The main standard multimedia tools include Volume Control, Laser Player, Media Player, and Sound Recorder.

Volume control program is the basic volume control for the entire computer system. This means that it plays a central role, and all volume adjustments of other software or hardware only operate within the limits initially set by the Volume Control. After installing the Volume control, an icon is created on the display panel. Left-clicking on this icon opens a master slider that affects all audio devices installed on your computer. By right-clicking the mouse, you can open an extended window in which you can set the volume, stereo balance and tone settings for each device separately.

Laser Player Program is designed to play music audio discs using a CD-ROM drive. The program allows you to control the playback mode (continuous play, shuffle play, introductory play) of audio tracks, has on-screen controls corresponding to the controls of CD-players, and allows you to create and edit playlists.

Universal player program can also be used to play audio CDs, although it does not have as wide a range of functions as the Laser Player (in particular, it does not have tools for working with playlists). On the other hand, it is highly versatile and allows you to reproduce not only sound recordings, but also video recordings presented in numerous formats. Automatically connects the codecs required to play compressed recordings. In cases where multimedia objects are found in electronic text documents, they are reproduced by this standard Windows tool.

Sound Recorder is intended for self-creation of sound recording files. The sound source can be a microphone, CD-ROM drive, or an external device. The program has graphical controls equivalent to those of a conventional household tape recorder. The created sound files can undergo limited editing with the imposition of some effects (changing the speed of sound recording, volume, "Echo" effect, reversed sound recording). The program allows you to create audio clips of small size, which can be used in sound schemes for the design of system events. It is also used as an OLE server when it is necessary to insert a sound object into a text document.

Examples of software systems that widely use multimedia tools are presentation preparation systems, training systems, including computer simulators and virtual laboratories, computer encyclopedias, sound and video libraries, and games.

Currently, the main objects of multimedia are recordings of sound and dynamic images, presented in various digital formats.

Almost all software systems using multimedia objects are interactive, that is, they conduct an intensive dialogue with the user, therefore, the ability to not only high-quality, but also quickly reproduce sound and images is very important for them.

Programs for playing multimedia objects are widespread. Such programs are called players or players (from the English "player").

Securing new material.

We carry out the following actions.

1) Open the Volume control, set the normal sound parameters.

2) Open the program Laser Player and listen to music from a CD - disc through headphones.

3) View any video files from the hard disk using the Universal Player.

4) Open the Sound Recorder, record your voice with a microphone, save it as a file on your Desktop under the name Training. View the addition of various effects to the sound file (changing the speed of sound, adding an echo, reverting sound)

5) Take a CD - discs containing photographs, pictures, drawings (preferably in different formats), sound files, video and animation files. Learn to view all these files, copy pictures into a text document.

Independent work.

Complete the following mission:

1) Create folders Pictures, Music, Videos on the Desktop.

2) Copy 3 photos from the CD to the Pictures folder, 3 sound files to the Music folder, and 3 animation files to the Video folder.

3) In the environment Microsoft Word create a photo gallery from any photos and captions to them (about 10 pieces). Photos are taken from the issued CD.

4) Record 3 sound files using the Sound Recorder and microphone. The first spells out the concept of multimedia, the second lists the standard multimedia tools, and the third lists the main features of multimedia. The first file is normal sound, the second file is with increased speed and echo, the third file is sound reversibility. Save files under the name Sound1, Sound2, Sound3.

5) Delete the files and folders created on the Desktop.

After studying this topic, you will learn and repeat:

♦ The Slide Design task pane displays the design templates used in the current presentation, the most recently used templates, and all templates available for use, including on the Internet. Design templates can be viewed at a large scale directly in the task pane. To do this, just click on the arrow icon on the selected template and select Show Large Thumbnails from the menu that opens. In the new version of Microsoft PowerPoint, a design template can be applied to one or more selected slides. To select templates not shown in the task pane, click the Browse button at the bottom of the task pane.

Task Pane Slide Design also offers a variety of color and animation schemes to suit different audiences, themes, and materials. Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 allows you to apply predefined sets of animation and slide transition effects to individual slides or to the entire presentation. There are new animation effects, more control over timing, and new paths for moving objects that are listed in the order in which animation effects are executed. Animation effects are categorized by difficulty: simple, medium, complex.

Working with graphics

Microsoft Office XP applications use Graphics Enhanced (GDI +). This allows shapes and WordArt objects to have smooth outlines and adjustable transparency levels with color mixing. Drawings remain sharp and crisp when resized.

There are additional options for working with drawings. For example, when inserting pictures from files on your hard drive, you can select and insert multiple pictures at the same time.

For pictures in a presentation, you can select the desired resolution depending on where they will be used (for example, on web pages on the Internet or in printed documents), and specify other parameters to achieve a better balance between picture quality and file size (the Compress to (in the Picture Format window).

Pictures, including bitmaps, can be rotated and flipped.

In the new version of Microsoft PowerPoint 2003, you can save the background texture or background image of a slide as a file of one of the graphic types, making it easier to reuse those graphic elements.

The program also includes a collection of common organization charts to which you can add text, animation effects, and various formatting styles. Organization charts now use drawing tools to make them easier to edit.

Photo Album Mode

In Microsoft PowerPoint 2003, of particular interest is the new mode of creating a presentation - Photo Album (command Insert Picture Create Photo Album). With its help, the ability to easily and quickly move photos and drawings from a hard drive, scanner or digital camera into a presentation is realized.

The photo album has special layout options: various frames, captions, slide titles, and many others (Fig. 4.5).

Rice. 4.5. Photo album settings window

Automatic tuning

Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 introduces new AutoFit features. Depending on the size of the frame, the text settings can automatically change. For example, if long text is to be placed in a frame, the font size is automatically reduced. Auto-fitting text within each frame can be turned on or off, which allows better control of the process (Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoFormat As You Type).

The slide layout automatically changes to accommodate pictures, charts, organization charts, and other embeddable elements. When you select a new slide layout, Microsoft PowerPoint automatically repositions the elements already on the slide to match the new layout.

You can display a grid while drawing to make it easier to align frames, shapes, and pictures in Microsoft PowerPoint. The distance between the grid lines can be changed.

Preview

In Microsoft PowerPoint 2003, you can preview the presentation before printing. Dedicated preview options let you view and print slides, notes, and other types of handouts.

Security

Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 introduces a number of security measures:

♦ The presentation can be password protected. A password must be entered to change the content of the presentation, otherwise it will be read-only.
♦ If the application encounters an error or stops responding, open documents can be restored the next time the program is started. These documents will be displayed in the Document Recovery task pane.
♦ Application abnormal termination information can be sent to your organization's IT department or Microsoft Corporation.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 Presentation Program

Practical work
Introduction to the basic concepts of Microsoft PowerPoint 2003
and techniques for creating and designing presentations "

After completing the tasks of this topic, you will learn:

How to create a presentation using PowerPoint;
- Format and edit slides.

Activity: Designing a presentation. Application of design templates.

As the topic of the first presentation, we will take an electronic illustration of a speech concerning the structure of building a course of lectures on learning Microsoft Office.

This presentation preparation process will have to be broken down in two stages:

1. direct development of the presentation, that is, the design of each slide;
2. demonstration, that is, the process of showing finished slides, which may be accompanied by explanations of the lecturer, some graphic notes during the demonstration.

Presentation development

First you need to formulate a topic future presentation, at least roughly determine the number of slides and their structure. Think over the options for the design of the slides.

Let's prepare six slides.

On the first one, we will reflect the name of the course and its duration (title page of the presentation).
On the second, we will graphically display the structure of the course.
On the rest - the content of the classes, respectively by topics:

Microsoft Word;
Microsoft Excel;
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003;

Organization of work with documentation.

Presentation creation

Slide number 1

Start PowerPoint 2003. Start-Programs-PowerPoint 2003. You will see a PowerPoint 2003 window.

In the Create New Presentation selection box group, select New Presentation.

The next step will be the appearance of the Slide Layout window, which presents various options for the layout of the slides (Figure 1). Choose the very first type - Title Slide.

Finally, you will see the first slide with the markup for entering text (placeholders).

Placeholders are dotted-outline boxes that appear when you create a new slide. These frames serve as placeholders for objects such as slide title, text, charts, tables, organization charts, and graphs. You can simply click to add text to a placeholder, or double-click to add a predefined object. However, the white background is unimpressive.

Start by choosing a color for your slide. PowerPoint 2003 provides the ability to take advantage of design templates that allow you to create presentations in a specific style.

The design template contains color schemes, slide and title swatches with customizable formats, and stylized fonts. After applying the design template, each newly added slide is designed in the same style.

From the Format menu, select Apply Design Template (Slide Design) ... and then a very pleasant "browse and select" process awaits you.

When the markup is selected, all that remains is to enter the title and subtitle text from the keyboard. To do this, just click on the placeholder and enter the text, which will be automatically formatted in accordance with the settings of the selected design template.

The first slide is ready. Slide number 2

The most difficult and intense slide to make. We will start preparing it as the last step. Immediately after developing the first slide, let's move on to the third. Slide number 3

To insert a new slide, choose Insert – New Slide ... The familiar New Slide window appears. Select the slide layout Title and text in two columns.

• Clicking on the title placeholder allows you to enter a new title.
• Clicking in the placeholder in the left column allows you to enter text.
• The transition to a new paragraph within the column is carried out using the (Enter) key.
• Before you is a friend from text editor bulleted list. The size, color and appearance of the marker are determined by the parameters of the selected design template.
• When the first column is filled with text, click the second column's placeholder.

Slide number 4

Designed in the same way as the previous slide. Do this job yourself.

• Insert a new slide;
• select the appropriate markup;
• enter text;
• place text on multiple lines as needed;
• distribute the text evenly across the columns;
• move the placeholders if necessary;
• choose the alignment of the text as you see fit.

Slide number 5

The main difference from the previous two slides is that in the New Slide window you need to select the Title and Text markup.

However, this option uses a hierarchical (or multilevel) list (two levels of paragraphs - different bullets and indents).

In order to "decrease" or "increase" the level of a paragraph, use the buttons on the toolbar. You can first type all the text in one level (a regular bulleted list), and then select the paragraphs of the next level and click the corresponding button on the toolbar. The marker will automatically be changed when you move the paragraph to the next level.

When working with bulleted lists, take extra care when selecting items in the list. The result largely depends on this.

Since, depending on the length of the lines of text you enter, you have a chance to get both a "wide" and a "narrow" list, after typing, you may need to move the entire list so that it is visually located in the center of the slide.

Slide number 6

It is carried out in the same way as the previous slide.

Slide number 2

Now let's start developing the second slide - the most difficult and most effective one to complete.

• Since this slide needs to be inserted after the first, it means that you should go to the first slide. Moving between slides is carried out using the buttons (arrows) located on the vertical scroll bar or the PageUp, PageDown keys.
• When the first slide appears on the screen, run the Insert-New Slide ... command.
• Select the Header Only markup.
• Enter your title text.
• Next, fill out the headings of the course sections placed in the boxes. To do this, you need to use the Draw panel.

If the Drawing panel is not on the screen, you can activate it by executing the View-Toolbars command. The Toolbars dialog box appears on the screen. In the list of toolbars, activate the Draw switch.

The Draw panel can be moved around the screen with the mouse so that it does not obscure the part of the slide with which you are going to work.

So, the Drawing panel is active, select the Text Box tool on it. The mouse pointer changes to a text cursor, position it in the desired location and enter the name of the first section, for example, WORD. A frame (placeholder) appears around the text (similar to the situation when you used the Text frame tool in the Word editor).

The heading of the first section is ready. The remaining three are decorated in the same way. The most convenient way is to replicate the existing one (move the mouse with the Ctrl key pressed, then set the text cursor in the new heading and change the text WORD to EXCEL, etc. Thus, in a short period of time, you can prepare the headings of all sections.

The list of lessons was prepared using the same techniques, only a simpler design was chosen (there is no fill, only the color of the line is selected). Do it yourself. In order for the text inside the frame to be in two lines, type it in two paragraphs (after the first line, use the Enter key) or in two lines (Shift + Enter).

4. Design a text document and make a reference to it in the presentation as a more detailed source.

Task 4.4. Filling slides with text

Explanation of the technology for completing the task

You can fill slides with text in both outline view and slide view. When using ready-made materials, it is preferable to use the slide mode. To switch to this mode, click on the Slide tab on the left side of the PowerPoint window (see Figure 4.1).

You can work directly with a slide not only in slide mode, but also in normal mode by clicking on the tab with a slide thumbnail.

Slide texts are typed inside text frames. Such frames are created by the Auto Content Wizard. If necessary, you can delete an unnecessary frame or create an additional frame directly on the slide using the Text Box tool. Borders of the frame as created

The wizard and the one drawn with the Label tool can be changed with the mouse by dragging any of the size handles.

Task execution technology

2. Fill in the missing points of the structure that require your opinion or conclusions by entering the text directly from the keyboard. Along the way, customize the font, size and style of the text.

3. If one slide, highlighted by the Auto Content Wizard on the theme indicated in the plan, is not enough, add new slides, keeping the content lines of the presentation.

Task 4.5. Decorating slides with drawings and photographs

The presentation should not be overloaded with text, so as not to resemble a text document read from the screen. She must have a good video sequence. To bring dry material to life, safety instructions come in handy with pictures, photographs of a computer class, or even animated miniatures. The only design requirement is the thematic validity of the illustrations.

Comic illustrations for computer-themed slides can be found on the Internet at:

Express test registration

The name of the test itself suggests limited quantity questions. Questions in such a test should be focused not on the exact knowledge of the instructions, but on the understanding of the general meaning. As an example, we will limit ourselves to three questions, each of which will be given three options for answers. Choose one from the suggested answers.

The entire test will take three slides:

Slide with questions;
- the slide that the respondent goes to if the answer is correct;
- the slide that the respondent switches to if the answer is incorrect.

Its main advantages are the versatility inherent in a computer, among the shortcomings can be noted the absence of the possibility of replenishing information - its "addition" to the disk, not always satisfactory reproduction of video and audio information.

CD-i (CD-Interactive) is a special CD format developed by Philips for TV set-top boxes. Among its advantages is high quality playback of dynamic video information and sound. The main disadvantages are the lack of multifunctionality, the unsatisfactory quality of reproduction of static visual information, associated with the quality of TV monitors.

Video-CD (TV format compact discs) - replacement of videotapes with much higher picture quality. Among the shortcomings is the lack of multifunctionality and interactivity (for which it was not designed when it was created). DVD - i (Digital Video Disk Interactive) - the format of the near future, representing "interactive TV" or cinema. In general, a DVD is nothing more than a compact disc (CD), only more speedy and much larger capacity. In addition, applied new format sectors, more reliable error correction code, improved channel modulation. The video signal stored on a DVD-video disc is obtained by compressing the CCIR - 601 studio video signal using the MPEG - 2 algorithm (60 fields per second with a resolution of 720 x 480). If the image is complex or changes rapidly, there may be noticeable defects in compression and its magnitude (data rate). Compression defects are sometimes noticeable at 3.5 MB? S. At 6 Mbps, the compressed signal is almost identical to the original. The main disadvantage of DVD video as a format is that it has a complex copy protection and regional locking scheme (a disc purchased in one part of the world may not play on a DVD device purchased in another part of the world.

Another problem is that not all DVD - ROM drives on the market today read movie discs recorded for consumer players.

Purposes of Application of Products Created in Multimedia Technologies

The main purposes of using products created in multimedia technologies (CD - ROMs with information recorded on them) are: popularization and entertainment (CDs are used as home libraries for art or literature);

scientific and educational or educational (used as teaching aids);

research - in museums and archives, etc. (used as one of the most advanced carriers and "repositories" of information).

Promotional goal. Perhaps the widest use of multimedia products for this purpose is not in doubt, especially since popularization has now become a kind of equivalent of advertising. Unfortunately, many developers sometimes do not realize that the simple use of well-known media (CD - ROMa) and software does not yet provide a truly multimedia nature of the product. Nevertheless, we have to admit that the "color" of the works presented is a reflection of the existing social consciousness and humanitarian fields.

Scientific and educational or educational purpose. The use of multimedia products for this purpose goes in two directions:

1. Selection by means of an extremely rigorous analysis from the existing market products of those that can be used in the framework of the respective courses. As practice shows, the task of selection is extremely difficult, since only a few finished products can correspond to the topics of the taught courses and the high requirements for reliability, representativeness and completeness of the material, which, as a rule, are presented by teachers. This is due to the fact that the creation of products does not involve specialists - "subject matter experts" who have the necessary knowledge in the field being represented.

2. Development of a multimedia product by teachers in accordance with the goals and objectives training courses and disciplines.

Research goals. There is clearly a confusion in terminology here. In "pure" scientific development, software is really actively used, which is also used in products created on the basis of multimedia technology. However, the sum of this technology can hardly satisfy the conditions and process of scientific research, implying the dynamic development of the cognition process, since it fixes a one-time state or an achieved result, without giving the opportunity to change anything in it. In this sense, these tools can be used only at the stage of publication of the research results, when instead of the usual "hard" printed editions we get a multimedia product. The most obvious and almost automatically remembered area of ​​application of multimedia products in the research field is electronic archives and libraries - for documenting collections of sources and exhibits, cataloging and scientific descriptions, for creating "insurance copies", automating search and storage, for storing data on the location of sources, for storing reference information, for providing access to databases outside the museum, etc. Activities for the development and implementation of these areas of archival research are coordinated by the International Committee on Documentation (CIDOC) of the International Council of Museums, the Museum Computer Network of the Committee for Computer Interchange of Museum Information (CIMI), and the Getty International Art History Program (AHIP) ). In addition, these organizations are engaged in the development of uniform international standards for documenting and cataloging museum and archival values, the implementation of opportunities for the exchange of information components of research systems.

MULTIMEDIA (multimedia) is a buzzword in computer world, translated from English means "multimedia" and this term defines the cherished dream of most computer users. This concept defines information technology based on a software and hardware complex that has a core in the form of a computer with means of connecting audio and video equipment to it. A computer equipped with a multimedia card immediately becomes a universal teaching or information tool for almost any field of knowledge and human activity... There are very great prospects for multimedia in medicine: knowledge bases, surgical techniques, drug catalogs, etc. In business, real estate firms are already using multimedia technology to create catalogs of homes for sale. Technological multimedia enjoys great attention of the military: for example, the Pentagon is implementing a program for transferring to interactive video discs all technical, operational and training documentation for all weapons systems, creating and mass use of simulators based on such discs. Firms specializing in the production of hypermedia publications - books, encyclopedias, travel guides - quickly emerged. In addition to "informational" applications, there should also be "creative" applications, allowing the creation of new works of art. The multimedia station is already becoming an irreplaceable authoring tool in cinema and video art. The work on the introduction of elements looks very promising. artificial intelligence in the multimedia system. They have the ability to "feel" the communication environment, adapt to it and optimize the process of communication with the user; they adapt to readers, analyze additional or clarifying information. Systems that understand natural language, speech recognizers further expand the range of interaction with a computer.

Another rapidly developing field of application of computers that is absolutely fantastic for us, in which important role multimedia technology plays - these are systems of virtual, or alternative reality, as well as systems "telepresence" close to them. With the help of special equipment - a system with two miniature stereo displays, quad-headphones, special touch gloves and even a suit, you can "enter" a computer-generated or simulated world by turning your head, look left or right, go further, stretching your hand forward - and see it in this virtual world; you can even take some virtual object and rearrange it to another place; you can thus build, create this world from the inside.

Introduction

Currently, a lot of attention is paid to the development of multimedia products, especially when it comes to the creation of computer encyclopedias, electronic textbooks, entertainment and educational programs, etc. What is a multimedia product? Firstly, it is a software product that necessarily provides the user with an interactive, that is, dialog, mode of operation, which involves the exchange of commands and answers between a person and a computer. Secondly, it is an environment where a variety of video and audio effects are used.

Relevance: thanks to the development of multimedia technologies, it became possible to combine a multicomponent environment (text, sound, graphics, video, photo) into a homogeneous digital representation and to store large amounts of information reliably and for a long time. The information is guaranteed to be stored for at least ten years. At the same time, information processing turns from routine to creative operations.

The main characteristic features these technologies are:

· Unification of a multicomponent information environment (text, sound, graphics, photo, video) in a homogeneous digital representation;

· Ensuring reliable (no distortion when copying) and durable storage (guaranteed storage period - tens of years) large amounts of information;

· Simplicity of information processing (from routine to creative operations).

Today we cannot help but think about what awaits our students. It is known that the future will require from them a huge stock of knowledge in the field of modern technologies... Today, 60% of job offers require minimal computer knowledge, and this percentage will increase.

Object research in this paper is information technology.

Subject studies are multimedia technology.

The purpose This work is to identify the features and capabilities of multimedia technology.

Tasks term paper :

1. Outline the stages of multimedia technology;

2. Describe the capabilities of multimedia technology;

3. Explain the application of multimedia technology.

Chapter 1 MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTS

Basic concepts, signs and classification

A multimedia product is an interactive computer development, which may include musical accompaniment, video clips, animation, picture and slide galleries, various databases, etc. Multimedia is the sum of technologies that enable a computer to input, process, store, transmit and display (output) data types such as text, graphics, animation, digitized still images, video, sound, speech.

According to GOST 7.83, the following main classes of information resources are distinguished (electronic documents that have undergone editorial processing and are intended for distribution), allocated for various reasons:

- by the presence of a non-electronic analogue:

An electronic analogue of a traditional document,

· Independent electronic publication;

- by the nature of the data:

· Text electronic edition,

· Fine electronic edition (including facsimile),

Sound electronic edition,

· software,

· Multimedia edition;

- on public use:

Official electronic publication,

Scientific electronic publication,

Popular scientific electronic edition,

Production and practical electronic edition,

Normative production and practical electronic edition,

Educational electronic edition,

Mass-political electronic publication,

Reference electronic edition,

· Electronic edition for leisure,

· Art electronic edition;

- on the technology of distribution:

Local electronic edition,

Online electronic publication,

· Electronic publication of combined distribution;

- by the nature of interaction with the user

Deterministic electronic edition,

· Interactive electronic edition;

- by frequency:

Non-periodical electronic publication,

Serial electronic edition,

Periodical electronic publication,

Continued electronic publication,

· Updated electronic edition;

- by structure:

One-volume electronic edition,

Multivolume electronic edition,

· Electronic series (272).

Classifiers of types and purposes of information resources (IR) are based or should be based on GOST 7.60–90 (Types of publications) and GOST 7.83–2001 (Electronic publications).

At the first level, IRs are classified according to the type of information carrier.

There are 4 classes of IR:

1 - IR on computer media;

2 - IR on non-computer carriers of audio information;

3 - IR on non-computer media of video information;

4 - IR on paper.

Subclasses are highlighted:

- information products;

- software products;

- software and information products;

- services rendered on the basis of networked information resources (mega-resources: electronic library, search service, etc.).

There are many features to describe, i.e. multidimensional classification of information arrays, each of which seems to be significant from a certain point of view.

Basic set signs that are essential for most tasks, and the classification of resources are considered:

Source of IR: for example, official information published, etc .;

The IR belongs to a certain organizational or information system: for example, archival, library, museum, NTI, etc. resources;

form of ownership of the IR: state (federal, subject of the federation), municipal, property of public organizations, joint-stock, private, as well as an indication of the owner;

The nature of the use of IR (purpose), IR are massive, interdepartmental, departmental, regional, in-house, personal, etc .;

The volume of the information array (expressed in comparable units of measurement);

Openness of information: open, secret, confidential;

Form of information presentation: text, digital, graphic, multimedia, etc .;

IR carrier: electronic, paper, etc .;

Information dissemination method: networks (global, local), publications, etc.

The natural language in which information is presented (274).

Besides, essential characteristics IR is such difficult to formalize parameters as completeness, reliability, relevance and significance of the information they contain.

In turn, multimedia products can be conditionally divided into several groups, depending on which categories of users they are focused on (76).

The most massive group of multimedia products is computer games.

The second group is made up of multimedia business applications.

The third group - educational programs most often distributed on computer CD-ROMs.

The fourth group includes special programs designed for the independent production of various multimedia products (both amateur and professional).

Technical implementation of the project, i.e. creating a full-fledged multimedia CD or DVD can be a rather laborious and time-consuming process. On this stage it is very important to choose the development environment that most fully meets the set goal, since the wrong solution will definitely lead to a loss of time and money.

Without going into details, it can be argued that there are two main ways to create a multimedia application: use specialized development tools or entrust this work to programmers to create a multimedia application from scratch. When it comes to presentation, the second method is too slow and expensive and the choice is unambiguous in favor of specialized preparation tools. In other cases, both options are possible. The best solution is often to use a ready-made package and expand its capabilities through the use of programming languages, but this solution is not possible for all specialized packages.

Most multimedia products fall into one of the following categories:

Web applications;

Presentations;

Application prototypes;

Training programs;

Hypertext / hypermedia applications;

Except for the last point, for the rest of the categories of applications, in most cases, you can choose a suitable specialized package.

Stages of multimedia product development

It is customary to distinguish several stages in the development of a multimedia product:

· Development of a concept, idea;

· Design;

· Creation of information objects;

· Standardization of the interface with the user;

· Integration of information elements into a linear (presentation) or nonlinear (interactive authoring applications) application;

· Testing, debugging;

· Publication.

Concept development, ideas

Logically, this stage can be divided into two components: expertise and planning. The result is a design decision and is sometimes referred to as the feasibility study phase. The expertise gives an answer to the question whether all the main components are available for the project, and planning - is it realistic to complete the project within the allotted time.

The feasibility study (or appraisal) phase begins the moment one of the future authors has an idea. Before embarking on a project, the author of the idea should have a good idea of ​​who will be interested in the project to such an extent to invest in it, how long it takes to complete the project, and how much it will cost, how long it will pay off. To conduct a feasibility study, you must:

1) Having a team. The team should include people who can write the script, develop graphic design(and this is the face of your publication), technicians who will undertake the implementation of the volume of work on the layout

2) The presence of a project manager, whose main task is to make sure that all work is completed on time and all project participants work harmoniously. To do this, he needs to know every day who, with what success and what is doing in the project, and to predict bottlenecks and critical points of the project.A typical development team includes:

Screenwriter - writer

· Programmer

· Artist - designer

Audio / video specialist (operator)

Interface designer

Project manager, director, producer

3) Outline the circle of future basic technical and software solutions. This category of issues to be analyzed at the feasibility stage includes the choice of hardware / software platform, data formats and software tools for development, while in the center is the authoring tool as key element development.

4) Availability of resources, which should include ordinary and specialized workplaces equipped with a CD-ROM burner, normal sound cards, a voice recorder, a video digitizing card, a scanner, etc.

5) Licenses. Availability of rights to the material that will be included in the publication. Rights must be necessarily secured by an agreement. You must use licensed software.

6) Availability of the budget (i.e. the expenditure side) and the schedule for the development of the entire project, from the start and ending with its publication. The budget and the plan are linked not only by money, but also by the fact that unplanned work will necessarily appear. Planning is done with the worst-case scenario in mind. It is customary to distinguish three categories of budgets for development: low-budget, medium-budget and high-budget projects. Table 3.6. an example of calculating labor costs for the main stages of developing a medium-budget project is given.

The process of creating multimedia information systems can be considered as consisting of two main phases:

Design phases

Implementation phases

Design phase

1. Designing a conceptual model of a scenario for a multimedia information system.

2. Designing media-dependent representations of information.

3. Designing information structures.

4. Designing media combinations and synchronizations (sound - video)

6. Designing Information Topologies (Shared Environment)

7. Designing the user interface

8. Designing the user interface

9. Designing navigation methods

1. Implementation must be accompanied by tools and methods of creation.

2. Primary integration

3. Creating fragments

4. Creation of structure

5. Full integration of multimedia product montage, i.e. connection of all elements into a single product, in accordance with a specific structure and specified navigation means.

6. Production of a multimedia product (determined by the carrier)

7. Distribution of a multimedia product
