Level 1: Interactivity strictly on information

delivery. Users select the time at which the
presentation starts, the order, the speed and
the form of the presentation itself.
Level 2: Users can modify or enrich the content
of the information, and this modification is
recorded.
Level 3: Actual processing of users input and
the computer generate genuine result based on
the users input.

process of converting a sampled signal into

a signal which can only consist of discreet
values.
E.g: only use positive and negative integers.

process of associating a group of binary

digits, called a code word to every quantized
value.
E.g: quantized value 18 is associated with
binary code-word 00010010.

The only difference lies in size requirement for each
media.
Images, sound and video require larger volumes than
text.
