This document discusses analog and digital representation of multimedia. [1] It explains that analog representation involves continuous phenomena like sound being converted to electrical signals, while digital uses discrete values like 1s and 0s. [2] The processes of analog to digital conversion involve sampling, quantization and code generation, while digital to analog conversion reconstructs the signal. [3] Digital representation allows storage, transmission and processing of multimedia but can result in data loss during sampling and requires more storage and bandwidth than analog.

Analog and digital representation:

Analog representation
What is analog ?
 Meaning of analog is continuous . Real life
examples of continuous phenomenon are light,
heat , sound , electricity etc. which appears
without break .
Analog Representation( cont.)
 Phenomenon which are continuous in nature have
physical value that varies continuously over space
and time.
 The continuous phenomenon is measured by
instrument called sensor which transfers the
captured physical variable into another space per
time quantity called signal.
Example :
 A microphone converts the environment sound
into electrical signal .
Digital representation
 Digital quantities are not same as Analog waves
(i.e They are not continuous in nature ).
 Digital quantity have value only at certain points
in a space or instance in time.
 In general different set of points are generated at
different time.
Example
 Eg. The electrical switch having on(1) and off(0)
state represents the two digital values
Different conversion process:
ANALOG – TO – DIGITAL:-
Analog-to-digital conversion is an electronic
process in which a continuously variable (analog)
signal is changed, without altering its essential
content, into a multi-level (digital) signal.
ANALOG – TO – DIGITAL CONVERSION
PROCESS INCLUDES:-
 SAMPLING:-This process involves
breaking the continuous wave
into discrete set of points.

 QUANTIZATION:-It is the process


of approximation or rounding off
of sampled values.

 CODE WORD GENERATION:-It


involves expressing these
amplitude levels in terms of
binary code or numbers.
DIGITAL - TO - ANALOG CONVERSION
 Digital-to-analog conversion is a process in which
signals having a few (usually two) defined levels or
states (digital) are converted into signals having a
theoretically infinite number of states (analog).

 This conversion requires when picture is displayed on


the screen or audio clip is played on the screen.
DIGITAL – TO – ANALOG CONVERSION
PROCESS INCLUDES:-

 DIGITAL TO ANALOG
CONVERTER:-The binary code
fed to DAC generates digital
pulse,the amplitude of each level
being determined by the code
word.Then the DAC generates a
corresponding analog waveform.

 LOW PASS FILTER:-It filters out


any high frequency components.
DIGITAL – TO – DIGITAL CONVERSION

 In digital to digital conversion , At the sender,


digital data are encoded into a digital signal & at
the receiver, the digital data are recreated by
decoding the digital signal.
Importance and drawbacks of digital
representation:
IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL REPRESENTATION

 Universal Representation: Any media element for


example text, image, and sound can be represented
using uniform sequence of binary digits.

 Storage: Storage devices like memory chips, hard


disk, floppy etc. can be used for all media files.
Importance (Cont.)
 Transmission: Digital signals are less sensitive to
noise as compared to analog signals.During
transmission the encryption process maintains
confidentiality.
 Processing: Software program can be used to
analyze, modify, alter and manipulate multimedia
data to improve the quality by removal of noises
and errors.
Drawbacks :

 Sampling Error : The process of first sampling


and then quantizing and coding the sampled
values introduces distortions.
 Data Loss : Since a continuous signal is broken
into a discrete form , a part of the signal is
actually lost & cannot be recovered.
Drawbacks (Cont.)
 Requirement of large digital storage capacity
required for files.
 Require greater bandwidth than analog to
transmit the same information.
 Detection of digital signals requires the
communications system
