Digital video has replaced analog video as the preferred method for delivering multimedia content. Video files can be extremely large due to factors like frame rate, image size, and color depth. Common file formats for digital video include AVI, QuickTime, and MP4. Video editing software allows for nonlinear editing with features like transitions, effects, and sound synchronization. Compression techniques help reduce large file sizes, though some quality is lost with lossy compression.

• Video is an excellent tool for delivering multimedia.
• Video places the highest performance demand on
computer and its memory and storage.
• Digital video has replaced analog video as the
method of choice for making and delivering video
for multimedia.

• Digital video device produces excellent finished products at
a fraction of the cost of analog.
• Digital video eliminates the image-degrading analog-to-
digital conversion.
• Many digital video sources exist, but getting the rights can
be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.

6.2 Analogue Video6.2 Analogue Video
• Video information that is stored using television video
signals, film, videotape or other non-computer media
• Each frame is represented by a fluctuating voltage signal
known as an analogue wave form or composite video.

6.2 Analogue Video6.2 Analogue Video
• Composite analogue video has all the video
components:
– brightness, colour and synchronization
• Then combined into one signal for delivery
• Example : traditional television signal

6.3 Video Display6.3 Video Display
1. Progressive scan :
• used in computer monitors and digital televisions.
• displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one
time as a single frame.
2. Interlaced scan :
• used in standard television formats
• displays only half of the horizontal lines at a time (the
first field, containing the odd-numbered lines, is
displayed, followed by the second field, containing
the even-numbered lines)

6.6 Digitizing Video6.6 Digitizing Video
• Digital video is often used to capture content from movies and
television to be used in multimedia.
• A video source (video camera ,VCR, TV or videodisc) is connected to a
video capture card in a computer.
• As the video source is played, the analog signal is sent to the video card
and converted into a digital file (including sound from the video).

6.7 Digital Video6.7 Digital Video
• Digital video is the digitisation of analogue video signals into numerical
format
• It creates the illusion of full motion by displaying a rapid sequence of
changing images on a display device.
• Conversion from analogue to digital format requires the use on an ADC
(Analogue to Digital Converter)
• A Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) can be used to output digital video
on analogue equipment

Digital VideoDigital Video
• Video clip stored on any mass-storage device can be played back on a
computer’s monitor without special hardware.
• Setting up a production environment for making digital video, requires
some hardware specifications.
• Some specifications include computer with FireWire connection and
cables, fast processor, plenty of RAM, fast and big hard disk.

• There is an important consideration:
– file size in digitized video which included
1. frame rate
2. image size
3. color depth.

1.1. Frame RateFrame Rate
– animation is an illusion caused by the rapid display of
still images.
– television and movies play at 30 fps but acceptable
playback can be achieved with 15 fps.

2.2. Image SizeImage Size
– A standard full screen resolution is 640x480 pixels but to safe
storing space a video with 320x240 for a computer display is still
acceptable.
– New high-definition televisions (HDTV) are capable of resolutions
up to 1920×1080p60,
• 1920 pixels per scan line by 1080 scan lines, progressive, at 60
frames per second.

– The color depth below 256 colors is poorer-quality image.
– The frame rate to below 15 fps causes a noticeable and
distracting jerkiness that unacceptable.
– Changing the image size and compressing the file therefore become
primary ways of reducing file size.

Video CompressionVideo Compression
• Two types of COMPRESSION:
– Lossless compression.Lossless compression.
• Preserves the exact image throughout the
compression and decompression process.
• E.g: text images is to identify repeating words and
assign them a code.

Video CompressionVideo Compression
– Lossy compression.Lossy compression.
• Eliminates some of the data in the image and
therefore provides greater compression ratios than
lossless compression.
• Applied to video because some drop in the quality is
not noticeable in moving images.

internet, and for saving movie and video files.
• The format contains one or more tracks storing
video, audio, text or effects. . It is compatible

• MP4 Format (.mp4)
This format is mostly used to store audio and visual streams online,
most commonly those defined by MPEG. It Expands MPEG-1 to
support video/audio "objects", 3D content, low bit rate encoding
and support for Digital Rights Management.
• The MPEG-4 video format uses separate compression for audio and
video tracks; video is compressed with MPEG-4 video encoding;
audio is compressed using AAC compression, the same type of audio
compression used in .AAC files.
• The mp4 can most commonly be played on the Apple QuickTime
Player or other movie players. Devices that play p4 are also known
as mp4 players.
