Introduction of Multimedia
Multimedia is content that uses a combination of
different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations,
video and interactive content. Multimedia contrasts with media that
use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms
of printed or hand-produced material.
Multimedia can be recorded and played, displayed,
interacted with or accessed by information content processing
devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a
live performance. Multimedia devices are electronic media devices
used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is distinguished
from mixed media in fine art; for example, by including audio it
has a broader scope. In the early years of multimedia the term "rich
media" was synonymous with interactive multimedia, and
"hypermedia" was an application of multimedia.
