The highest resolution for your desktoplaptop monitor is 128

The highest resolution for your desktop/laptop monitor is 1280 x 1024 pixels with 32-bit encoding. This means 8 bits for the R, G, and B channels plus 8 more for the alpha channel that is for effects like transparency. How many bits are needed to describe the total space on the screen? If the monitor refreshes at 60 Hz (60 times per second), how many bits must the graphics card draw every second? How does this compare to the lowest resolution, which is 800 x 600 with 16-bit encoding (4 bits for each color and 4 more for the alpha channel)?

A)

MM Framework is an open multimedia framework which may be used for dynamic cre

ation

of various multimedia applications and which could be extended by new multimedia devices.

The proposed framework\'s architecture consists of six layers. Its definition results from decomposition of the system into components with well-defined interfaces and internal implementation dedicated to the given hardware usage or applied policy of the system control and management. Each layer consists of a collection of components which are characterized by similar functionality. The structure and goals of the layers are the following The first layer called MMHardware and System Software Layer consists of multimedia hardware and software provided by vendors. This layer is represented by a wide spectrum of devices such as: video cameras, computers, audio/video encoders/compressors, media servers,etc. These devices are usually equipped with proprietary control software.

2.The second layer-MMHardware CORBA Server Layer packs up the vendor-provided software by CORBA interfaces. This layer introduces a uniform abstraction defined by an interface specified in IDL and standard communication mechanisms provided by the IIOP protocol. The IDL interfaces defined in this layer support all operations provided by the native software. The main goal of introduction of this layer is to establish a common base for the system development.
