The term “media” generally refers to various means of communication. Television, radio, and the newspaper for instance are its different types. It can also be used as a collective noun for the press and news reporting agencies. In computer terminology, this term refers to the different types of data storage options.
Computer media includes hard drives, removable drives, CD-ROM or CD-R discs, DVDs, flash memory, USB drives and floppy disks.
On a daily basis, in so many ways, these media forms are part of our lives. When you read the newspaper, you utilize the print media. Watch tv, listen to the radio with your favorite music station, surf the net and watch videos on YouTube, among many others.
Now, how do these types of media affect you? There just are countless of ways which may also include deciding to subscribe or not to this blog.
On bigger perspective, this has a lot to do with information dissemination. Information coming from an enormous source across the different channels. It’s like choosing between tootsie roll and m&m but before you even do so, you might still find yourself eating a bar of Butterfinger in the end.
It’s a competitive world out there, much to talk about but in return, we all go down to how such an information affect us, (our choices, beliefs, etc.) and how did these information reach us that made us decide or do some things. Makes sense?
Now, going back to the previous example cited above, how did you (lets just say for instance) end up eating a bar of Butterfinger instead of choosing between m&m and tootsie roll?
The bottom line is that you have been affected by an effective advertisement that came from a certain source, of which the majority include visual media – print, tv, internet, etc. All eye-catching forms since how can you appreciate a chocolate by listening to an ad on the radio without even knowing what it looks like.
Visual media are those that focus on vision centric information. Large businesses cater to visual media in advertising. What else is more catchy?
Media presentation is an intangible part that plays the trick in successful media marketing and information dissemination. An effective media campaign can boost any type of business in so many ways that is certainly unimaginable. With the advent of the web driven world, accessibility to information is most likely a thing of the past.
Information is created and passed on in so many ways but more than anything, a computer does most of the job. Media presentation can be constructed using certain types of software to create a visually creative media more than a solid content.
When Microsoft Powerpoint was born, most media presentation were made using this application.
Now, a certain trend in visual media presentation came into place. Software developers and publishers came up with Screen Capture Softwares.
A Screen Capture Software is a type of software used to capture any part of your screen from your desktop, the image taken from which is known as a screenshot. Captured images can be sent to the software’s own editor or through a graphic editor, clipboard, file, printer, fax, email and even through instant messaging applications like ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger and MSN. Images can be inserted or used to make Word or Powerpoint documents and can be uploaded to a website using a built-in FTP upload tool.
Images can also be edited in some similar type of software. Annotations, watermarks, shadow effects, frames, arrows, shapes, and other objects can be added to create professional looking presentations that can be used for online tutorials, promotional materials, and many other forms of documents. Prior to editing, images can be saved in various graphic formats such as JPG, JPEG 2000, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PCX, WFF, ICO, TGA and BMP while some can even capture those hard-to-grab DirectX, Direct 3D, 3dfx Glide mode games. Parsing a list of URLs and automatically saving webpages in the graphic formats mentioned above is also possible.
Some advanced type of software can even capture scrolling windows and web pages more than just static screenshots which means it can record desktop activity functioning as a video screen recorder. Recordings can be saved as an AVI video, MPEG1/2/4(DVD, VCD, SVCD), SWF clip(Flash clips) for web publishing or as standalone(.exe) player also known as projector exe file type that is readily playable. Conversions among of those formats can be mabe depending on what is supported by the software. Some software allow creation of java based software demos that can be played through a browser and to complete the total media experience, audio sound can also be integrated.
Given the features mentioned show us the various ways, information on a visual media perspertive, our capability of doing just about anything. With the right tools and knowledge, impossible is nothing.
No wonder why this type of software is widely used and is constantly gaining attention to various end-users worldwide. If your not yet familiar with this, try to surf YouTube. You’ll see.
Software overview:
“Screen Capture Software, in deed, has caught the eye of many users. There are various types of similar software available in the market yet all there is to know leads us to the fact that not most of us are accustomed nor have ever tried using this type of software. It all leads us to the importance of user interface, or plainly easy to use. Functionality comes second since we’re looking for something that can be used for its purpose. Lastly, the cost. Who would want something expensive when an affordable one functions the same?
If you are just about thinking of adopting this software, I would recommend that you try first those easy-to-use ones. Grab the trial version first, and see if it suits you. Based on my thorough research, (although I’m not really paid to do it, I just love sharing information) just a handful of these software types are easy to use and not too complicated, of course, unless you get used to it. The choice is yours.”
In line with this post, I have included my own projection exe file (readily playable, no need to install) and all you have to do is download and open it.
It talks about “How to setup Undisclosed email recipients in Yahoo!Mail”.
