Multimedia allows the users to combine and change data from various sources like image, text, graphics, video, audio and video to a single platform. Multimedia has become the latest enriching experience in the field of information sector. The fast growing of multimedia technology over the last decade has brought a lot of changes to computing, entertainment and education. Hence, there is an ever increasing interest in the subject academically and otherwise.
More and more Universities have remodeled the course contents of BAMMC, keeping in view, the demands of industry. Computers Multimedia has been included as a subject for studying BAMMC program courses.
The growing discipline of Computers Multimedia has limited books at basic level. My association with the teaching and training on the subject at Mumbai, since the last 12 years, has inspired me to bring out a handy reference book on the subject which can meet the requirements at the introductory level. I am thankful to the good support received for the earlier editions of my same title. This is written as per the syllabus of S.Y. BAMMC, Semester III of Mumbai University.
The objective of the book is to meet the academic requirements of undergraduate students of the above course. The book provides conceptual clarity on the subject of Computers Multimedia. While writing the book, the Indian context is kept in mind and adequate examples are chosen from the Indian industry. This book is written in simple and lucid style to make the subject easily understandable. I hope that the book will meet the expectations of both teachers and students of Computers Multimedia.
