Class Description
Analog to digital… audio and video encoded from waves to bits and
bytes. Streaming music and movies has become an art form in and of
itself, and allows our generation to disseminate world-wide our most
creative and cultural works in an instant. This class will teach students
how to convert sounds, movies, and pictures into the language of the
Internet. We will discuss different methods for manipulating, digitally
enhancing, and streaming digital media as well as issues surrounding
stream quality, reliability, compression, and copy protection. Students
are asked to please bring a camera (standard, video, or digital),
film and/or tape, and a desire to digitally document their Satori
experience. There is a $5 lab fee associated with this class.
