edited by Borko Furht and Milan Milenkovic

Looks into the integration of digital audio and full motion video in addition to the more traditional data types, such as text, graphics, animation, and still images. This book presents a representative collection of papers that explore the techniques, standards, and applications behind today's advances in multimedia systems. The first chapter provides an overview of the basic principles involved in multimedia technology. The other chapters cover multimedia compression techniques and standards, multimedia communication and synchronization, storage and retrieval, and tools and applications. 512 pages. March 1995. Softcover.
