Practice Assignment 7

Exercise 7-1
Lab
How much disk space would be occupied by a 100-minute feature film if it was stored as uncompressed
video in PAL format and to be displayed at a frame rate of 30 frames/sec? State any assumptions you
make in your calculations.

Exercise 7-2
Lab
Compare two video display formats: one using progressive scanning and the other using interlaced scan-
ning. The progressive format (Format A) has a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels and displays at a rate of 60
frames per second. The interlaced format (Format B) has a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, and updates
the screen at 60 fields per second. Calculate and compare the number of pixels displayed per frame and
per second for each format. Finally, state how many full frames per second are effectively shown in each
case.

Exercise 7-3
Lab
In a high-definition (HD) video utilizing 1080i resolution with an aspect ratio of 16:9 interlaced at 60
fields per second.

a) Calculate the frame rate of this video.


b) Calculate the number of columns per frame.
c) If the video is to be displayed at 244 resolution on the same container, what will be changed in
terms of lines representation in the new displayed frame.

Exercise 7-4
A user starts to download a 30 second video over a connection operating at 512 Kbps. If the movie starts
playing after 60 seconds of starting the download and ends without stopping, compute the minimum and
the maximum size of the video in KBytes.

Exercise 7-5
Lab
A user starts to download a 30 second video using progressive download that has been compressed at a
data rate of 2 Mbps over a connection operating at 512 Kbps. If the video starts playing after 30 seconds
of starting the download, when would it stop because of not receiving enough data?

Exercise 7-6
A user starts to download a 10 seconds video. The video is to be downloaded using progressive download
that has been compressed at a data rate of 1 Mbps over a connection operating at 250 Kbps. If the video
player used by the user plays the video once 2 Mb are received, draw on the figure below the curve that
shows the frames played (1 Mb = 1000 × 1000 bits, 1 Kb = 1000 bits) indicating when it stops because
of not enough data and when it continues once enough data is received.
Show your calculations.
Note: You are required to draw the curve to scale.
