1st Cycle Interdisciplinary Academic Study Programme in Multimedia
Objectives and competences
The aim of the course is to introduce students to basic concepts and technologies in the field of multimedia. The subject deals with the analogue and digital principles of recording audio visual contents and upgrades them with descriptions of the architecture of modern multimedia systems, which are the basis for the technical implementation of multimedia services. Through the treatment of the properties of multimedia elements such as images, sound and video, students learn about their characteristics and specifics that are important for the processes of production, preparation and transfer of multimedia content to end users.
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures, demonstrations, practical laboratory work.
Intended learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course students should be able to:
- Describe the properties and specifics of individual multimedia building blocks
- Calculate the required bandwidth for transmitting AV signals in standard, high and ultra high resolution
- Understand and establish a technology chain from signal capture to signal processing and broadcasting
- To assess the advantages and disadvantages of individual ways of broadcasting multimedia content from source to end user
