This paper describes the technology behind the creation of multimedia presentations using a new IBM p r o gram product, the Audio Visual Connectiona (AVC"). The multimedia approach represents a major innova tion in computer technology involving new concepts such as the digitization of audio and video, the involvement of the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), and the creation of a mult...

This paper simulates and analyzes noise of multimedia transmission in a flexible optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) computer network with different quality of service (QoS) requirements. To achieve multimedia transmission in OCDMA, we have proposed strict variable-weight optical orthogonal codes (VW-OOCs), which can guarantee the smallest correlation value of one by the optimal desig...

background and aim: patients who receive hemodialysis need effective education in order to maintain their health. one of the effective methods for education is computer-assisted education. the aim of this study was to compare the impacts of computer-assisted multimedia education and traditional method on clinical parameters of patients receiving hemodialysis. methods: in this interventional stu...

Multimedia provides an immensely powerful tool for the dissemination of both information and entertainment. Current multimedia presentations consist of synchronised excerpts of media (such as sound, video & text) which are coordinated by an author to ensure a clear narrative is presented to the audience. However, each of the segments of the presentation consist of previously recorded footage, o...

Computer input and output has evolved from teletypewriters to text oriented CRTs to today's window oriented bit mapped displays. Beyond text and images, multimedia input and output must be concerned with constant rate continuous media such as digital video and audio. Today's multimedia applications are just beginning to explore the capabilities of multimedia computing. There is a growing unders...

The development of multimedia computer simulations in clinical pharmacy education enables students to be exposed to clinical patient management earlier in the education process and allows for the training of large numbers of students outside of conventional clinical practice sites. This manuscript describes what multimedia is and how this technology can be applied to clinical pharmacy training....

Nowadays, multimedia content has become the major content transferred on computer networks. Since the distribution of non-realtime (so called offline) multimedia content does not have special demands on the computer network infrastructure used, the realtime multimedia streams requirements differ from the offline ones’ requirements a lot. Realtime streams usually require stable and sometimes qui...
