  • MT1: UNIT 2 AUTHORING SYSTEM – Multimedia Systems Technology Unlimited
  • In this module, we will focus on the different media Systems technology. We will equally consider the authoring system and the different authoring tools. 2.0 OBJECTIVES What you will study in this unit, would enable you: Define the term Authoring System List the Authoring Tools Identify the key role of the authoring system in the multimedia technology.
  • MT1: UNIT 1 MULTIMEDIA COMPRESSION – Multimedia Systems Technology Unlimited
  • Multimedia compression is a broad term that refers to the compression of any type of multimedia (i.e. combination of media and content forms), most notably graphics, audio, and video. In this unit, we shall treat the concepts of Multimedia Compression. We shall consider the different categories of compression and the similarities between them. 2.0 OBJECTIVES At the end of this unit, you should be able to: Describe the concept of Multimedia Compression Explain the differences in the different categories of Multimedia Compression Discuss the principle of video compression
  • MT1: UNIT 4 COLOUR -Elements of multimedia Unlimited
  • In this unit we will be learning about the basics of colour. We would also bring to light the benefits and challenges of using colour as well as the guidelines for using colours. Hope you will be able to grasp the key points. 2.0 OBJECTIVES What you would study in this unit, would enable you to: Explain the basics of Colours Discover the science of Colours Discuss the benefits and challenges of using Colour
  • MT1: UNIT 3 IMAGE-Elements of multimedia Unlimited
  • Now that you’ve been introduced to two elements of the multimedia system, we will now consider Images as another element of the multimedia systems. 2.0 OBJECTIVES At the end of this unit, you should be able to: Describe what a digital Image is?
