3 output device

Output devices are hardware that convert computer data into human-readable forms, including text, graphics, audio, and video. Common types include monitors, printers, speakers, headsets, projectors, and plotters, each serving specific functions in data representation. The main difference between input and output devices is that input devices send data to the computer, while output devices receive data from it.

EXPERIMENT-3

OBJECT: What are output devices? Explain different types output devices.

OUTPUT DEVICE: An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment which
converts information into human readable form. It can be text, graphics, tactile, audio, and
video.

Some of the output devices are-

 Visual Display Units (VDU) i.e. a Monitor.


 Printer.
 Headphones or head set.
 Computer Speakers.
 Projector.
 GPS.
 Sound Card.
 Video Card.

MONITOR:
A Monitor consists of a screen, circuitry, a power supply, buttons
to adjust screen settings, and a casing that contains all of these
components. A monitor displays data from a computer onto a
screen so the user can interact with the data via a digital
interface.
 Popular Brands: Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, LG, Lenovo, Samsung.

PRINTER:

An output device is a piece of computer hardware that receives


data from a computer and then translates that data into another
form. That form may be audio, visual, textual, or hard copy such
as a printed document.
 Popular Brands: Brother, HP, Canon, Epson.

SPEAKERS:

Speakers are attached to computers to facilitate the output of


sound; sound cards are required in the computer for speakers to
function. The different kinds of speakers range from simple, two-
speaker output devices right the way up to surround-sound multi-
channel units.
HEAD SET:

This is a combination of speakers and microphone. It is mostly


used by gamers, and is also a great tool for communicating with
family and friends over the internet using some VOIP program or
other.

PROJECTOR:

This is a display device that projects a computer-created image


onto another surface: usually some sort of whiteboard or wall.
The computer transmits the image data to its video card, which
then sends the video image to the projector. It is most often
used for presentations, or for viewing videos.

PLOTTER:

This generates a hard copy of a digitally depicted design. The


design is sent to the plotter through a graphics card, and the
design is formed by using a pen. It is generally used with
engineering applications, and essentially draws a given image
using a series of straight lines.

The key distinction between an input device and an output device is that an
input device sends data to the computer, whereas an output
device receives data from the computer.
