What are Multimedia devcies ?

A multimedia input device is anything ranging from video cameras, web cams,
to iPods and flash drives it is basically a thing that can store or transmit sound,
pictures, or videos to another unit.

Web cams
A webcam is a video camera that feeds or streams its image in real time to or through
a computer to computer network. When "captured" by the computer, the video stream
may be saved, viewed or sent on to other networks via systems such as the internet, and
email as an attachment. When sent to a remote location, the video stream may be saved,
viewed or on sent there. Unlike an IP camera (which connects using Ethernet or Wi-Fi),
a webcam is generally connected by a USB cable, or similar cable, or built into
computer hardware, such as laptops.
The term 'webcam' (a clipped compound) may also be used in its original sense of
a video camera connected to the Web continuously for an indefinite time, rather than
for a particular session, generally supplying a view for anyone who visits its web
page over the Internet. Some of them, for example, those used as online traffic cameras,
are expensive, rugged professional

Video cameras
A video camera is a camera used for electronic motion picture acquisition (as
opposed to a movie camera, which records images on film), initially developed
for the television industry but now common in other applications as well.

Microphones
A microphone, colloquially nicknamed mic or mike, [1] is an acoustic-toelectric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal.
Electromagnetic transducers facilitate the conversion of acoustic signals into electrical
signals.[2] Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, hearing
aids, public address systems for concert halls and public events, motion
picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, two-way
radios, megaphones, radio and television broadcasting, and in computers for recording
voice, speech recognition, VoIP, and for non-acoustic purposes such as ultrasonic
checking or knock sensors.
Most microphones today use electromagnetic induction (dynamic microphones),
capacitance change (condenser microphones) or piezoelectricity (piezoelectric
microphones) to produce an electrical signal from air pressure variations. Microphones
typically need to be connected to a preamplifier before the signal can be amplified with
an audio power amplifier and a speaker or recorded.
