Lecture 8: Video SE Fundamentals Questions? How did you spend 6-8 hours on this course last week? This week?

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Assessment Process  Submit all assignments via Blackboard in the Learning Hub  Assignment 1due 11.59pm Sunday 1 st April  Assignment 2due 11.59pm Sunday 6 th May  Assignment 3 due 11.59pm Sunday 27 th May  Late assignments attract a penalty of 10% per day late, up to a maximum of 50%

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Assignment  Assignment will be in three parts  Overall task is to produce a video  Groups of up to 3  Assessed by final video and group blog  Part 1: images and audio (end of week 5)  Part2: hardware (end of week 9)  Part 3: reflection, research (end of week 12)

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Assignment 1  Use GIMP (or a similar tool) to perform some manipulations on an image  Use Audacity to perform some manipulations on sound  Use a movie making tool to produce something like (and much better than!) ‘Lord of the Controllers 1 & 2’  me your group and its name so that I can set up a blog on the Learning Hub

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Overview …

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Images and Perspective … Frame rate is often 30 per second COOL! BORING!

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Time codes and all that … Time for videos HH:MM:SS:FF HH hours MM minutes SS seconds FF frames Often 30 frames per second (nice and neat!) NTSC colour uses frames per second (!!) This means there are two timecode systems ….

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Non-drop-frame timecode HH:MM:SS:FF Behaves as expected FramesMinutes (30 fps) Non-drop-frame timecode :00:59: :01:00: :09:59: :09:59: :10:00:00

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Video file size Video files can be big! How much space is need for 1 second of HDTV? 1440 x 1080 pixels 24-bit colour 30 fps Stereo (2 audio channels) Audio sampling 48 kHz and 16-bit depth

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Video file size Audio: 48,000 samples/s x 1s x 16 bits/sample x 2 = 1,536,000 bits = 192,000 byes ≈ 188 KB Video: 1440 x 1080 pixels/frame x 24 bits/pixel = 37,324,800 bits/frame 37,324,800 bits/frame x 30 fps x 1s = 1,119,744,000 bits = 139,968,000 bytes = 133 MB (!!) This takes 133MB per second! Need to compress

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Colour Sampling Eye more sensitive to brightness than colour YUV model: Y luminance U,V chrominance 3 samples per pixel, so 12 samples per 4 pixels NameYUVSizeSaving 4:4:44Y, 4U, 4V120% 4:2:24Y, 2U, 2V833% 4:2:04Y, 2 (U or V)650% YUV YYYY YYYY UV UU

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT File size and Data rate Overall file size is one thing 133MB x 60 minutes/second x 60 minutes/hour x x 2 hours = 957,600 MB ≈ 935 GB (!!) Still need to be able to extract data at 133MB per second, even for only 1 second … 48x CD is about 7MB per second …

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Compressing Video Files  Lower frame size  Lower frame rate  Lower picture quality (ie data rate)  Lower colour depth (not often done …)  Lower audio quality (not much effect)  Compression methods (lossy vs lossless) compressor/decompressor or codec

Lecture 8: VideoIntro to IT Conclusion  Get Assignment and WebTest done this week, if possible  Submit early!  Keep reading! (book particularly)
