Information Technology Practicals related

General Instructions
There are in all 20 Practical Expweriments in all three streams.

Distribution
Practical numbers 1 to 9 are common for Arts, Science and Commerce Streams. These
9 Practicals form Group A for Arts, Commerce and Science.

Practical numbers 10 to 20 are different for Arts, Science and Commerce Streams.
These 11 Practicals independently form Group B for Science, Group B for Arts and
Group B for Commerce.

Journal
The Journal has to be in form of a file. The journal will include either
• Hardcopies or print-outs of the code or document or presentation etc. depending
upon the specific requirement of the particular practical performed.
OR
• Handwritten code/reports written by the students depending upon the specific
requirement of the particular practical performed.
OR
• BOTH depending upon the specific requirement of the particular practical
performed.

Besides this, the Journal will have an Index Sheet and a Certificate Page.

Every student must perform and document in the Journal a minimum of at least 12
practicals; considering a minimum of 6 experiments from Group A and 6 a minimum of
6 experiments from Group B. A performance of 8 or more experiments per Group is
recommended.

Most practicals have two different experiments having the same number listed. If any
student has entered two different experiments having the same number in the Journal,
then the same shouldn’t be counted as two separate experiments for the sake of
counting the minimum requirement. It must be considered as a single experiment.
Practical Examination
The Final Practical Examination will be for 20 marks. Every student will have to
perform TWO experiments; one from Group A and the other from Group B. Each
experiment will carry 9 marks and the Journal will carry 2 marks. The total time given
for an experiment including performance time is 1½ hour. Candidates are expected to
finish 2 experiments in 3 hours without any in-between break. A hardcopy (print-out)
of the code is necessary. Additional time may be granted to candidates in situations
where a resource such as a printer has to be shared and used.

At the time of examination, the Practical slips must not be attached beforehand to the
answer sheets. Instead, examiners must first write the experiment number and
heading on the answer paper, make the student pick up any answer sheet without
seeing the experiment number and heading, make the student write his/her roll
number there itself and finally hand over the corresponding slips to candidates only
after all candidates have selected the answer papers.

General
Students must not be allowed to use any HTML Editor such as Expression
Web/FrontPage or Dreamweaver in order to create the Web Pages during the regular
Practical or Practical Exam. Web Pages as well as code have to be created in a Text
Editor such as Notepad only.

Experiment 10 Audio File Conversion

Obtain an audio wave file recorded in the PCM format having a Sampling Rate of
44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo. This corresponds to a data transfer rate of 172
kb/sec for “CD-Quality Sound”. The duration of this file may preferably be
short if required, but not lesser than 15 seconds, to limit file size and processing
time. Such a file if not readily available can be easily created using any Audio
CD and Windows component Sound Recorder or Media Player.

Name this file as 44.1k_16bit_Stereo_Original.wav and attribute it as Read-

only. Using Sound Recorder File Menu Properties Format conversion option,
create at least 16 wave files in the following manner. (8)
Choose at least 4 different sampling Rates such as 8 kHz, 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz
and 44.1 kHz. For each sampling rate, create 4 files with the 16-bit stereo, 16-
bit mono, 8-bit stereo and 8-bit mono options.
Remember the following points in the process:
• For creation of a new format, always use the Use the
44.1k_16bit_Stereo_Original.wav original file every time.
• Use the ‘Save As’ option to create these wave files and save different
formats with different filenames to avoid overwriting the original file.
• For ease in understanding, use filenames that explain all possible options
used. For example a file may be named as “24k_16bit_mono.wav”
corresponding to its Properties.
• Use the PCM Wave File format only for all created files.
Compare these files in terms of file size and note down the same against their (1)
sampling rate and other properties. Now play them beginning from the highest
sampling rate used and comment on the quality of the recorded sound.

Experiment 11 Image Conversion

Obtain a 24-bit Bitmap image having dimensions 800 by 600 pixels or greater.
Preferably use an image which contains a variety of colours such as Natural
Landscapes, Flora and Fauna etc. Name this file as Original.bmp and attribute
it as Read-only to avoid accidental overwriting.

Using any imaging utility such as Windows Paint with Microsoft Picture (2)
Manager OR Microsoft Photo Editor, create 3 more bitmap copies of the
above image in other formats such as 256 colour bitmap, 16 colour bitmap and
monochrome bitmap.

Also create a GIF Image out of the same and create four copies in the JPEG (3)
format using compression factors of 90, 70, 50 and 30 respectively.

Further Create 24 bit bitmap as well as 90 compression factor JPEG copies from (2)
the original image where the copies have height and width dimensions reduced
by 50%.

Remember the following points in the process:

• For creation of an image file, always use the Use the Original.bmp file
every time.
• Use the ‘Save As’ option to create these image files and save them with
different filenames to avoid overwriting the original image.
• Give all created files unique filenames. For ease in understanding, use
filenames that make clear the options used. For example, files may be
named as “256colour.bmp”, “Compr70.jpg” and so on.

Compare these files in terms of file size and image quality and note down the (1)
same against their filename, file type and other properties.
Compare the two reduced images to each other and comment on their file size (1)
and reduced image clarity as well.
Note: Microsoft Picture Manager or Microsoft Photo Editor can be optionally installed
along with Microsoft Office custom setup
 Experiment 12 Video File Conversion

Locate an AVI Format Video File with sound. Encode the same into MPEG format (4)
using any free AVI to MPEG Encoding Utility. Observe the difference in file size
and image quality if any.

Ensure that the encoded MPEG file is correctly created by playing back the (1)
same.

Similarly use an MPEG format video sound. Encode the same into AVI format (4)
using any free MPEG to AVI Decoder. Observe the difference in file size. Ensure
that the decoded AVI file is correctly created by playing back the same.

Experiment 20 Conversion of a CorelDraw Image into PDF

Start the CorelDraw Program (Ver. 8.0 or higher required). Open the
Huntress.cdr file from the Samples folder. Export this file to the Encapsulated
PostScript Format using the following Options:

Open the PDF file created. Give the image some time to appear completely.
Observe the same.

Repeat the above Process of EPS and PDF creation for various settings of Image
Header Format-Bitsize and Resolution, Bitmap type and Fountain steps and
PostScript. Name the newly created files as Huntress2.PDf, Huntress3.PDf and
so on. Also note the settings for which EPS or PDF creation does not take place.

Note down your observations in a tabular form in each case recording size of (6)
the EPS and PDF files created, approximate time taken to open the PDF file fully
after creation, relative clarity of image on screen in terms of resolution and
color quality versus all the EPS export parameters chosen.
