Question 1

In multimedia authoring systems, multimedia elements and events are often treated as __________ that live in a hierarchical order of parent and child relationships.
A) modifiers
B) objects
C) handlers
D) scripts

Accepted Answer

Multimedia elements and events in authoring systems are treated as objects, which can have parent and child relationships with other objects. Modifiers, handlers, and scripts may be used in conjunction with objects, but do not represent the objects themselves.

Question 2

Briefly describe what happens in each of the four primary stages of developing a multimedia project.
During the planning and costing stage, the objective is outlined, the skills and expertise needed for the project are identified, the duration of the project and budget are estimated, and a basic prototype is created. During the designing and producing stage, the plan is followed and the project is created. Next, testing is done to ensure functionality on all target platforms, and finally, the project is packaged and delivered.

Question 3

Sharing peripheral resources such as file servers, printers, scanners, and network routers is made possible by a(n) __________.
A) ATA
B) IDE
C) LAN
D) GPS

Accepted Answer

LAN stands for Local Area Network, which is a network of computers and devices connected within a limited area, such as a home, office, or building. LAN allows devices to share resources and communicate with each other, making it possible to share peripheral resources such as file servers, printers, scanners, and network routers. ATA and IDE are both types of hard drive interfaces, and GPS is a system for determining location on the earth's surface.

Question 7

Many __________ include export facilities for creating and saving a moving view or journey through a scene as a QuickTime or MPEG file, which is important for multimedia development.
A) 3-D modeling applications
B) 2-D vector programs
C) image-editing bitmap tools
D) card-based authoring systems

Accepted Answer

3-D modeling applications are the best choice for creating and saving a moving view or journey through a scene as a QuickTime or MPEG file, which is important for multimedia development. This feature is not typically found in 2-D vector programs, image-editing bitmap tools, or card-based authoring systems.

Question 8

With __________ and a scanner, you can convert paper documents into a word processing document on your computer without retyping or rekeying. D
A) QR codes
B) CRT projectors
C) GLV technology
D) OCR software

Accepted Answer

OCR software (Optical Character Recognition) is the tool that can recognize and convert text from scanned images into a digital format that can be edited on a computer. QR codes are used for storing information, CRT projectors are used for projecting images, and GLV technology is not a known or commonly used term in the field of document scanning and conversion.

Question 13

When you turn off your computer, which type of memory is not lost?
A) RAM
B) ROM
C) EIDE
D) SCSI

Accepted Answer

ROM (read-only memory) is a type of non-volatile memory that retains its contents even when the computer is turned off. RAM (random access memory), on the other hand, is a type of volatile memory that loses its contents when the power is turned off. EIDE (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics) and SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) are types of storage interfaces, not types of memory.

Question 14

Which of the following allows your project to play back without requiring the full authoring software and all its tools and editors?
A) run-time version
B) conditional branching tool
C) card-based authoring system
D) interpreted scripting environment

Accepted Answer

A run-time version allows the project to play back without requiring the full authoring software and all its tools and editors. It is essentially a stripped-down version of the authoring software that only includes the necessary components to run the project. Conditional branching tool, card-based authoring system, and interpreted scripting environment do not necessarily provide this functionality.
