8 MIDI Music
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) specifies a
standard way to store music data for synthesizers, electronic
MIDI instruments, and computers
MIDI-capable sound cards contain a wavetable
– Set of prerecorded musical instrument sounds
Does not produce high-quality vocals
Does not have full resonance of “real” sound
Chapter 8: Digital Media

not to have the full
resonance of digital
audio.
Chapter 8: Digital Media

and saving
compositions in
formats
such as MIDI.

Chapter 8: Digital Media
14
8 Bitmap Graphics
Composed of a grid of dots
– Color of each dot is stored as a binary number
Chapter 8: Digital Media
15
8 Scanners and Cameras
To scan an image, turn on the
scanner and start your scanner
software. Place the image face
down on the scanner glass, and
use the scanner software to
initiate the scan. The scanned
image is saved in RAM and can
then be saved on your
computer’s hard disk.
Chapter 8: Digital Media
16
8 Scanners and Cameras
The controls for a digital
camera are very similar
to those for an analog,
or film, camera. To take
a photo, simply point
and shoot.
Chapter 8: Digital Media
17
8 Scanners and Cameras
Digital cameras use storage medium
– Solid state storage
Transfer images using:
– Card readers
– Direct cable transfer
– Infrared port
– Media transfer
– Docking station
– E-mail
Chapter 8: Digital Media
18
8 Scanners and Cameras
Graphics software is used to modify or edit bitmap graphics
– Modify individual pixels to
• Retouch photographs
• Wipe out red eye
• Erase rabbit ears
Require a bit of storage
space
Chapter 8: Digital Media
19
8 Image Resolution
Expressed as the number of horizontal and vertical pixels
– Higher resolutions contain more data (larger file size) and
are higher quality
Bitmaps do not have a fixed physical size
Chapter 8: Digital Media
20
8 Image Resolution
File size of bitmaps can be reduced by cropping
Bitmaps are resolution dependent
Chapter 8: Digital Media
21
8 Image Resolution
When you increase the resolution of a bitmap, pixel
interpolation may occur
– Some images may appear pixilated
Chapter 8: Digital Media
22
8 Color Depth and Palettes
Color depth is the number of colors available for use in an
image
– Monochrome bitmap
Increasing color depth increases file size
– True Color bitmap (24-bit bitmap)
– 32-bit bitmap
Color palettes are used to control color depth
– Grayscale palette
– System palette
– Web palette
Chapter 8: Digital Media

8 Color Depth and Palettes
Chapter 8: Digital Media
24
8 Image Compression
Any technique that recodes data in an image file so it
contains fewer bits
– Lossless compression
– Lossy compression
Run-length encoding
File compression utility
Chapter 8: Digital Media
25
8 Image Compression
File compression
utilities, such as
open source 7Zip, zip one or
more files into a
new compressed
file with a .zip
extension.

Vector and 3-D Graphics
Vector Graphics Basics
Vector-to-Bitmap Conversion
Vector Graphics on the Web
3-D Graphics
Chapter 8: Digital Media
28
8 Vector Graphic Basics
Contain instructions for re-creating a picture
Chapter 8: Digital Media
29
8 Vector Graphic Basics
Vector graphics resize better than bitmaps
Vector graphics usually require less storage space than
bitmaps
Vector graphics are not usually as realistic as bitmap images
It is easier to edit an object in a vector graphic than an object
in a bitmap graphic
Chapter 8: Digital Media

8 Vector Graphic Basics
Chapter 8: Digital Media
31
8 Vector-to-Bitmap Conversion
Rasterization superimposes
a grid over a vector image
and determines the color
for each pixel
Tracing software locates
the edges of objects in a
bitmap image and converts
the resulting shapes into
vector graphic objects
Chapter 8: Digital Media
32
8 Vector Graphics on the Web
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and Flash are vector
graphic formats for the Web
Flash
Animated GIF
Advantages of using
vector graphics
– Consistent quality
– Searchable
– Compact file size
Chapter 8: Digital Media
33
8 3-D Graphics
Stored as a set of instructions
– Contain locations and lengths of lines forming a
wireframe
Rendering covers a wireframe with surface color and texture
Ray tracing adds light and shadows to a 3-D image
Chapter 8: Digital Media
34
8 3-D Graphics
3-D graphics are
based on a
wireframe, which
can be rendered
into a bitmap image
that looks threedimensional.

8 Producing Video Footage
Use digital or analog video camera to shoot video footage
– Digital video cameras store
footage as a series of bits
– Analog video cameras store
video signals as a continuous
track of magnetic patterns
– Videoconferencing cameras
(Web cam) attach directly to
a computer

8 Video Transfer
Video capture software controls the transfer process
Chapter 8: Digital Media

8 Signal Scrambling
and Digital Watermarks
Signal scrambling is a term commonly used for obscuring
cable or satellite television images until they are
unscrambled by a set-top box or other authorized
mechanism
A digital watermark is a pattern of bits inserted at various
places in an image or a content stream that can be used to
track, identify, verify, and control content use
– Broadcast flag
– HDCP
