The best audio boards are designed with digital signal processor chips that provide more efficient sampling and contain separate circuits to bring in synthesized digital sound directly through a MIDI interface. In many cases audio boards are integrated with full-motion video boards... All audio boards offered for multimedia applications record and play back sounds by digital sampling but may have different sampling rate ranges. Most also include separate engines for music synthesis, MIDI ports, and a software mixer to adjust relative volumes of sampled sounds, CD-Audio, external audio and microphone input.  5, record 1, English, - sound%20board

Although real motion video is the holy grail of multimedia, it still is impractical using today's technology. The current method for working with video is by capturing and converting the analog signal from a video source and either manipulating the image's data(which is written to video tape) or compressing the data using compression techniques(either software-only compression or a combination of hardware and software compression). To display or capture a single screen of an NTSC [National Television System Committee] signal, you must have a video frame grabber.... Real-time frame grabbers capture full-motion video at a rate between 15 and 30 frames-per-second using video compression...  4, record 3, English, - full%2Dmotion%20video

Le CD-I fait appel à des techniques très sophistiquées de compression d'images pour pouvoir stocker des images animées, très consommatrices d'espace. L'algorithme de compression est baptisé «Full Motion Video» (FMV). C'est la mise au point de cet algorithme qui a permis au CD-I de pouvoir afficher jusqu'à 72 minutes d'images animées plein écran. La qualité de l'image ainsi traitée est équivalente à celle d'un magnétoscope VHS mais inférieure à celle d'un LaserDisc.  4, record 3, French, - vid%C3%A9o%20plein%20%C3%A9cran

still picture : image fixe, image arrêtée. Les différents procédés utilisés pour la reproduction de séquences d'images animées permettent généralement de reproduire une image fixe extraite de la succession des images enregistrées. En arrêtant le défilement de la pellicule lors de la reproduction d'un film (projection de cinéma ou télécinéma), il est possible de visualiser isolément une image particulière. En présence d'un enregistrement vidéo, il est possible sur certains magnétoscopes de stopper le défilement du ruban magnétique. Les têtes vidéo de lecture restent cependant actives puisqu'elles sont entraînées en rotation par le tambour de tête. Un dispositif de lecture à suivi de piste dynamique permet alors de reproduire une image correcte sur toute la surface de l'écran.  2, record 8, French, - image%20fixe%20d%27un%20film

These are lowest on the rungs of the video ladder, in that they have less capability than boards that capture streaming video. These cards enable you to grab a single frame of video from a Laser Disk or a VCR. Video frame grabbers come in two varieties : single-frame capture and real-time capture. Single-frame capture boards enable you to freeze a selected frame and record it to your hard disk. In this function, single-frame boards are similar to scanners-they provide a means of capturing an image and saving it for use in a multimedia title.... Real-time frame grabbers capture full-motion video at a rate between 15 and 30 frames-per-second using video compression....  1, record 9, English, - real%2Dtime%20capture%20frame%20grabber

Video compression ratios available from various vendors of full-motion video boards range up to 160 : 1 and perform adequately on standalone multimedia desktop platforms transmitting image data from CD-ROM or videodisk peripherals. However, these compression ratios will not be sufficient for effective transmission of complex videos and renderings that are being produced by engineering designers or even simpler videos in highly interactive multiuser networked environments. The solution, however, is already on the horizon in the form of fractional dimensional compression techniques(fractals) that can reach astonishing compression ratios of 10, 000 : 1. This is possible because fractals, despite their apparent complexity, have a very low information content and can be specified as relatively simple expressions. Fractal compression is obtained via mathematical functions that describe a sequence of transformations of an image and when applied repeatedly, converge on a unique fractal. Fractal compression algorithms can be incorporated in software or VLSI microchips and, if applied to a typical CD-ROM disk, should provide nearly seven hours of full-motion.  2, record 10, English, - fractal%20compression

Le principe de la compression fractale réside dans la recherche de formes ou de motifs répétitifs dans une image, et dans le codage mathématique sous forme d'équations de ces motifs. Il est également possible de définir et d'exploiter des bibliothèques de motifs, afin d'améliorer la compression sur des séries d'images identiques.  1, record 10, French, - compression%20fractale
