Multimedia Systems

Abstract

Throughout the course (O.S) we generally concerned how O.S handled conventional data includes text files, programs, word processing documents, binaries and spread sheets. But O.S may handle other kinds of data as well. A   recent   trend   in   technology   is   the   incorporation   of Multimedia Data (MD) into computer systems. MD consist of continuous-media data (audio and video)data as well as conventional files. Conventional-media data differ from conventional data in that continuous-media data, such as frames of video, would be delivered (streamed) according to certain time restrictions.
