Introduction
All types of multimedia information are stored and processed within
a computer in a digital form
Digitization principles
Analog signals
As we can see in part (a) of the figure, the amplitude of such signals
varies continuously with time
In addition, a mathematical technique known as Fourier analysis
can be used to show that any time-varying analog signal is made up
of a possibly infinite number of single- frequency sinusoidal signals
whose amplitude and phase vary continuously with time relative to
each other
These relate to an audio signal, the first a speech signal and the
second a music signal produced by, say, an orchestra
If the bandwidth of the channel is less than this, then some of the low
find/or high frequency components will be lost thereby degrading the
quality of the received signal
The output of the filter is then fed to the sample and hold circuit
Low pass filter only passes those frequency components that made
up the original filtered signal and also known as recovery or
reconstruction filter
Text
There are three types of text that are used to produce pages of
documents :
1. Unformatted text
2. Formatted text
3. Hypertext
Bit 7 is the MSB and for example to represent a character ‘M’ the
codeword is 1001101
Example is videotext/teletext
2. Digitized documents
3. Digitized pictures
Considering 8-bits per pixel – each pixel to have one of 256 different
colors
Digitized documents
Scanner associated with Facsimile (fax)
Page scan – left to right (starts at the top of the page and end at the
bottom)
Fax machines – represent each pixel, a 0 for a white pel and a 1 for
a black pel
Digitized pictures
The three primary colors – Red, Green and Blue (R, G and B)
N = 525 (North and South America and most of Asia) individual scan
lines
The inside of the display screen of the picture tube is coated with a
light sensitive phosphor that emits light when energized by the
electron beam
Brightness depends on power in the electron beam
Color tube uses 3 phosphor triad, pixel has a shape of the spot and
spot size is 0.025 inches (0.635mm)
They are light sensitive cells called photo sites in digital cameras
The set of charges on the first row of photo sites are transferred to
the readout register
Photo sites in a row is coupled to the corresponding photo sites in the
two adjoining rows and, as each row is transferred to the readout
register, the set of charges on each of the other rows in the matrix
move down to the next row of photo site positions
Once in the read out register, the charge on each photo site position
is shifted out, amplified and digitized using an ADC
Audio
PCM speech
One of the application uses PCM speech is PSTN
The effect of this is that, the noise level is the same for both low
amplitude (quiet) signals and high amplitude (loud) signals
= 705.6kbps
Video
Each is known as a field, the first comprising of only odd scan lines
and the second even scan lines
525 line system – each field comprises of 262.5 lines – 240 visible
625 line system – each field comprises of 312.5 lines and 288 visible
White = 0.299R+0.587G+0.114B
Ys (luminance amplitude) = 0.299Rs+0.587Gs+0.114Bs
Cb = Bs – Ys and Cr = Rs – Ys
PAL : Y = 0.299R+0.587G+0.114B
U = 0.493 (B - Y)
V = 0.877 (R - Y)
Y = 0.299R+0.587G+0.114B
I = 0.74 (R - Y) – 0.27 (B - Y)
Q = 0.48 (R - Y) + 0.41 (B - Y)
Signal bandwidth
Digitization of video signals has been carried out in television studios for
many years
For example, to perform conversions from one video format into another
