Multimedia MCQs-1

Multimedia is the use of a computer to present and combine text, graphics, audio, and video with links and tools that let the user navigate, interact, create, and communicate.

A multimedia system is defined by its ability to be digitally processed (computer controlled) and its integration of various media types into a single structured delivery.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a technical standard that describes a communications protocol, digital interface, and electrical connectors that allow a wide variety of electronic musical instruments and computers to connect.

Text is considered the most basic and primary component of multimedia, used to convey specific information and labels within a project.

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is a standard way to send messages that include multimedia content (images, audio, video) to and from a mobile phone over a cellular network.

Rich text, unlike plain text, is formatted text that contains additional information such as font styles, sizes, colors, and other formatting attributes.

Multimedia files, particularly audio and video, are time-sensitive and must be processed and played back at a specific, constant bit rate to avoid jitter or lag.

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft; TIFF is a format for storing raster graphics (images).

Multimedia developers are the professionals responsible for the creative and technical integration of various media elements into a cohesive application.

A significant disadvantage of multimedia is the high cost associated with the specialized hardware, software, and production talent required to create it.

Video is essentially a rapid succession of individual still images called frames, which create the illusion of continuous motion when played back.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is a set of standards used for the lossy compression of digital video and digital audio data.

There are two fundamental types of compression: Lossy (which discards some data) and Lossless (which preserves all data).

JPEG uses lossy compression to reduce file size, which results in a slight loss of image quality. GIF and PNG are typically lossless formats.

SIP is a highly flexible signaling protocol used for initiating, maintaining, and terminating real-time sessions that include voice, video, and messaging.

In many streaming or relay scenarios, signals are re-encoded at a lower quality or bitrate to ensure they can be transmitted over networks with limited bandwidth.

A file server primarily needs processing power, storage, and a network connection; it does not require a monitor for its daily operations (headless operation).

The standard 3D animation pipeline typically involves three main stages: Pre-production (Modeling), Production (Layout and Animation), and Post-production (Rendering).

Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time, often used for training and analysis.

All these components—the microprocessor, motherboard, and memory—are essential hardware 'system devices' required for a computer to function.
