Intro to IT Assessment Process • Submit all assignments via Blackboard in the Learning Hub • Assignment 1 due 11.59pm Sunday 1st April • Assignment 2 due 11.59pm Sunday 6th May • Assignment 3 due 11.59pm Sunday 27th May • Late assignments attract a penalty of 10% per day late, up to a maximum of 50%
Intro to IT Assignment • Assignment will be in three parts • Overall task is to produce a video • Groups of up to 3 • Assessed by final video and group blog • Part 1: images and audio (end of week 5) • Part2: hardware (end of week 9) • Part 3: reflection, research (end of week 12)
Intro to IT Assignment 1 • Use GIMP (or a similar tool) to perform some manipulations on an image • Use Audacity to perform some manipulations on sound • Use a movie making tool to produce something like (and much better than!) ‘Lord of the Controllers 1 & 2’ • Email me your group and its name so that I can set up a blog on the Learning Hub

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Before “flat screens” (both and ) Draws horizontal lines Lecture 7: Video Intro to IT
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Top to bottom One pass (progressive scan) • Top to bottom • Two passes (interlaced scan) • 1st pass is even lines (lower field) • 2nd pass is odd lines (upper field) • Can create discontinuities in slow replays Lecture 7: Video Intro to IT
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Overscan: Not all the image is visible on the screen Allows ‘fuzzy’ edges not to be seen Means content cannot be placed at the very edges Safe action area:centre 90% Safe title area:centre 80% Lecture 7: Video Intro to IT
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Safe action area Safe title area Lecture 7: Video Intro to IT
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Black and white: only needs luminance (what shade of grey?) Colour: luminance + 2 x chrominance (brightness, 2 x colour or hue) WHY? Lecture 7: Video Intro to IT
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Black and white came first! Whencolour transmissionbecame possible, needed ability to receive colour with Black and white: luminance only Colour: luminance, hue, saturation YUV used in PAL, YIQ used in NTSC (!!) Can convert RGB to/from YUV and YIQ (see material for formulae) Lecture 7: Video Intro to IT
Sampling and Quantisation • Sampling • As in image (resolution, or # pixels) • As in audio, ie frames per second • Quantisation • As for images, ie bit depth per pixel • Frame aspect ratio • Viewing width to height 4:3 16:9 Lecture 7: Video Intro to IT
Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC DV frame is 720 x 480 pixels 720:480 = 3:2 ≠ 4:3 ≠ 16:9 (!!!) ????? DV frame screen Change pixel shape via pixel aspect ratio Lecture 7: Video Intro to IT
Intro to IT Conclusion • Web Test next week (week 5) • Do online quizzes later this week • Keep reading! (book particularly) • Notes for Video in Learning Hub
