  7. Principles of Communication • Communication is The transfer of information • The transfer needs A channel • Multimedia communication uses Multiple channels CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  8. Channels • Examples • Sound travels through the air • Air is the medium used there are many channels • Light and radio waves are electromagnetic radiation • the medium is the “ether” • Different frequencies give different channels CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  9. Choice of channel • Availability of channel • Availability of equipment • Ability to use channel • Ability to understand message • Economic considerations • Time problems CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  10. Matching the channel to the information Example • Tennis match • Score only - use text or speech • More precise information - pictures can illustrate (e.g. racket shape, players, logos etc) • Full transmission of all available information would need video multiple channels if including many camera angles CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  11. Media type and use • More complex information leads to bigger data objects • Communication of these requires bigger channels • i.e. more “capacity” or “bandwidth” CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  12. Information • Data is the “raw” quantity • Information is data with “meaning” and “structure” • Examples DataInformation 2343256 Telephone number of a friend 29WS157QQ UK House number and postcode 2894251992 Product code of a compact disc CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  13. Information structure • Data uses symbols Examples Name Symbols Binary numbers 0 1 Denary numbers 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 English alphabet a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z • Symbols can be different but represent similar information E.g Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic or English alphabets all represent sounds CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  14. In computer communication a message might be 234556671+25+23456673+100+23456688+10 This could be Order Part Number Quantity 234556671 25 23456673 100 23456688 10 Digital Information CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  15. Communication of Information • Communication may involve errors • In digital communication where binary is used errors cause • 1 to become 0 and • 0 to become 1 • To detect or correct errors requires extra information (redundancy) CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  16. Models of communication • Models are used to describe the process of communication • In ideal conditions CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  17. Models • Information transfer may be slightly faulty CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  18. Models • Noise affects information transfer CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  19. Models • Data encoding is used to transfer information • Process model CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  20. Models • Mostly multiple levels are used CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  21. Models • Multimedia uses multiple encodings CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  22. Example • Levels of encoding • An electronic mail message • High level • Language of the communication • Written symbols used • Computer representation of the symbols (ASCII) • Electronic binary signals (0 and 1) • Low level CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  23. Principles of communication • Standards • Protocols • Error control, redundancy and accuracy • Channel • Context • Coding CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  24. Standards • These can define a communication in some or all areas Example In an email message • The text will be in a standard language • Message format will be standard • Needs standard protocols for transfer CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  25. Digital communication • All information used by computers is digitally encoded • In multimedia these are Video Audio Speech Sound and music Image Graphics Picture Text Free format Structured information CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication

  26. Summary • Communication is about information • Information takes many forms • Multimedia communication is about encoding different forms of information on one or more channels with links between the different information types CP2022 - Multimedia Internet Communication
