Introduction to Multimedia

 

 

1.      Give your definition of Multimedia

2.      Answer:

a.       Which is easier to ensure for a data stream: Isochronous transmission or Asynchronous transmission?  Why?

b.      Give two examples for each:

                                                   i.      Static, time-independent discrete media

                                                 ii.      Dynamic, time-dependent continuous media.

3.      Give a simple example to show how differential coding of a data stream results in irregular packet sizes.

4.      Answer true or false

a.       An unconnected stream (of continuous media) gives 100% utilization.

b.      A live feed from a camera (without compression) is strongly regular.

c.       In synchronous data streams, there exists a bound on the minimum end-to-end delay.

d.      Strongly periodic always implies strongly regular.
