As memory prices decline, however, buffering of multimedia data allows fast processors to compensate for many performance problems in digital storage media. 3 VIDEO COMPRESSION TV-quality video requires 720 KB per frame displayed at 30 fps to obtain a fullmotion effect, which means that 1 second of digitised video consumes approximately 22 MB of storage. A standard CD-ROM disc with 648 MB capacity and data transfer rate of 150 KBps could only provide a total of 30 seconds of video and would take 5 seconds to display a single frame.
3 Output and presentation devices The most obvious output device for development and delivery of interactive multimedia applications is the well-established VGA monitor. There are many choices to be made depending on image resolution in particular. Keep in mind that this aspect of multimedia applications is much more critical than the more limited output requirements of applications that involve only text, numbers and simple graphics. Depending on the ultimate end-user delivery, multimedia developers must be prepared to deliver applications on large screens, multiple screen video-walls, or laptop and notebook computers.
