Could someone explain about the multimedia q's, a but worried about that :s

What do you mean?
Adv/disadv of compressing video: reduces file size and reduces quality of overall video
Online games can be used in education and training: interactivity/detailed visuals keep user's interest so that they learn and enables them to learn at their own pace. Ability to share ideas with one another, etc.
Distinguish between authoring software and HTML editors: authoring softwares combine multiple aspects of application software to provide a "one-stop" program to design a multimedia product. HTML editors edit and create HTML code, but rely on other software to create a complete multimedia product.
Explain how bit-depth and representation of colour data place demands on hardware: increased bit-depth and representation of colour data results in increased processing needs > faster processor, increased file size, greater need for storage space.
Identify suitable file formats: MP3, JPEG - use lossy compression so smaller file size that can be easily stored on system - the reduction in quality won't be noticed on such a small screen. Also most common file formats so there can be an interchange of messages later on with no compatibility issues.
Discuss alternative use: This system could be used as an information kiosk at shopping centres, providing entertainment for shoppers while they wait or children, provide navigation around the building, etc.

In on the bus and I got the paper with me. So sorry for any spelling mistakes. I have bag autocorrect.
Multimedia
A)I) identify an advantage and disadvantage of compressing video in multimedia (mm for ease)
ii ) describe how online games can be used in education and training

B)I) distinguish between authoring software and HTML editor for creating mm
ii) explain how bit depth and the representation of colour data place demands on hardware in mm

C)I) identify suitable file formats for storing images and audio data in this mm and justify
ii) discuss an Shetland use of this mm

*alternative I

I don't know how that turned into Shetland XD

I pretty much wrote the same!

Guys did anyone else find the RFID tag 5 marker in TPS quite ambiguous?

"Describe an alternative use of this type of transaction processing system"
I started talking about manual paper-based system for the Pet resort but my friends talked about a library (due to the RFID tag)

I'm not sure whether i misinterpreted it or not hahahaha

 

[trapizi]

Is the topology question in MP using bus topology ?

It's alright. I just wrote how RFID tag can be used similarly in other business services, e.g. retail store.

holy shit me too !!!

*prayeremoji*

 

[tknight]

I talked about RFID payment methods

 

[tknight]

It was bus topology. They drew it in a ring to throw people off, like in the 2012 exam.

 

[olimoli123]

Dammnit, wasnt thinking straight when i talked about paper based method for that q hahahaha fuark, Hopefully they dont take my beautiful 5 marks away

for both the option topic questions like that i linked it to the army. how these RFID tags/multimedia system could work in the army so yeah i think it was like how could you use this system in a different context

Q1.
A.(i) same idea
(ii) didn't see this so lost 3 marks
B. (i) authoring software allows user to be creative while HTML standardise the text, limit user's creativity and less user friendly
(ii) higher bit-depth= higher-tech hardware required
C. (i) same idea
(ii) the developer could use the same system and develop an artificial intelligent (AI) for the system, making it become an advanced artificial assistant and can be used on smartphone, computer, kiosk or robotic puspose.

8/10 of my class picked other topology.

i laughed to myself so much when i saw that, idk why. It just brightened up the entire exam

 

[tknight]

They always do it, so whenever I see a question like that I double check.

2012 exam:

Ring, Star, Bus, Hybrid

 

[Kittyrules]

also for higher bit depth question the hardware included display devices, so you need better display devices for higher bit depth.

 

[Nukeboy]

What was the answer to the multiple choice where they wanted you to identify the hardware component X?
Switch or WAP.?

Also wondering this. Someone else pls post their multiple choice answers, I wanna know if I got 20/20
