Multimedia Hardware

It is very likely that most, if not all, of you use one or another kind of multimedia device almost daily in your lives. All of us use them as consumers and some use them for purposes of multimedia production.  It is not uncommon for Malaysians, especially during family occasions like weddings and birthdays to produce a multimedia show of an elder's life or the development of romance of a newly marrying couple. These have become so commonplace that few bother to pay attention to continuously rolling images with sweet music as a background. If you have produced these, you will be familiar with a number of computing hardware that comes into play in making these productions.
