2. Outline Consider the implications of using digital video in multimedia
Discuss video analog and digital technologies and displays
Work with digital video containers and codecs to select the best video recording formats for multimedia projects
Find and acquire video clips
Shoot and edit video for use in multimedia

3. video
Of all the multimedia elements, video places the highest performance demand on your computer or device—and its memory and storage.

4. How video works
When light reflected from an object passes through a video camera lens, that light is converted into an electronic signal by a special sensor called a
charge-coupled device (CCD)

5. ANALOG video
Analog video has a resolution measured in the number of horizontal scan lines (due to the nature of early cathode-tube cameras).

6. Video standards (Component)
Component: Separates the Red, Green, Blue channels on different CCDs as separate signals on its own conductor.
Component is used for high quality video.

7. S-video S-Video: (Separate Video) uses two channels:
Luminance: sometimes referred as Y (greyscale).
Chrominance: sometimes referred as C (color)

8. composite
Composite: when all the signals are mixed together and carried on a single cable as a composite of the three color channels and the sync signal. The composite signal yields less-precise color definition.

9. Helical scan
A single video frame is made up of two fields that are interlaced.
Tracking is the fine adjustment of the tape during playback so that the tracks are properly aligned as the tape moves across the playback head.

10. Analog Broadcast Standards
NTSC
National Television Standards Committee
a single frame of video was made up of 525 horizontal scan lines drawn onto the inside face of a phosphor-coated picture tube every 1/30th of a second by a fast-moving electron beam.
Odd lines than even lines (60 lines per second= 60Hz)

11. Flickering

12. Analog broadcast standards
PAL
Phase Alternate Line (PAL)
increased the screen resolution to 625 horizontal lines, but slowed the scan rate to 25 frames per second.
50 lines per second = 50Hz

13. Analog broadcast standards
SECAM
Sequential Color and Memory (SECAM)
a 625-line, 50 Hz system.
SECAM transmits only one color at a time, it is free of the color artifacts present in NTSC and PAL resulting from the combined transmission of both signals.

14. Analog broadcast standards

15. Digital video

16. hdtv HDTV provides high resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
The broadcast industry promulgated an ultra-high-resolution, 1920 × 1080 interlaced format (1080i).
BUT the computer industry wanted a 1280 × 720 progressive-scan system (720p) for HDTV.
Both formats have been included in the HDTV standard by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC).

17. Displays

18. displays
cathode ray tube (CRT): Colored phosphors screen glow red, green, or blue when they are energized by an electron beam.

19. degaussing

20. Flat screen
Liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display, electronic visual display, or video display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly.
Plasma: the technology utilizes small cells containing electrically charged ionized gases, or what are in essence chambers more commonly known as fluorescent lamps.

21. interlacing

22. comparison

23. OVerscan/ underscan

24. MPEG MPEG-1 MPEG-2 MPEG-4 1.2 Mbps of video
250 Kbps of two-channel stereo audio using CD-ROM technology.
higher data rates (3 to 15 Mbps).
higher image resolution.
multiresolution scalability.
Standard for Digital TV and DVDs.
It offers indexing, hyperlinking, querying, browsing,
uploading, downloading.
Virtual Reality

25. Shooting and editing video
Fast processor(s)
Plenty of RAM
Computer with FireWire (IEEE 1394 or i.Link) or USB connection and cables
Fast and big hard disk(s)
A second display to allow for more real estate for your editing software
External speakers
Nonlinear editing (NLE) software

26. Shooting platform

27. storyboard

28. Chroma key
Chroma keys allow you to choose a color or range of colors that become transparent, allowing the video image to be seen “through” the computer image.

29. White balance

30. Linear editing

31. Non linear editing
