Synopsis
It has taken four centuries for book printing to become a mass communication tool. It will take no more than one or two generations for multimedia to entirely reshape the way in which we communicate and work.
The multimedia explosion has brought forth new concepts and techniques. Together with these is born a new jargon that mixes terms for existing media such as printing, photography, film, video, animation, and sound.
The Multimedia Dictionary defines the equipment, concepts, and techniques of multimedia production. More than 2000 definitions clarify terms and other information about this highly technical field. In addition, a special section deals with the jungle of abbreviations and acronyms. Fully cross-referenced with more than 100 illustrations The Dictionary is the simplest way of looking up everything that you need to know about multimedia.
This reference is designed with both the professional and student in mind. It emphasizes practical information, making it a valuable addition to any bookshelf. The author, Hans Sleurink is director of Data Scripta, an information center focusing on new media.
