Multimedia Services &/or Equipment

Multimedia services specialise in the development of innovative and effective marketing and communications resources. Multimedia companies in turn can offer expert advice, management, staff and equipment for all types of events including conferences, convention, corporate launches, seminars, exhibitions, training programs and indoor/outdoor events related to the hire or purchase of such equipment.

Multimedia is media and content that uses a combination of different content forms. This contrasts with media that use traditional forms, such as printed material. Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, or interactivity content forms. Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed, or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerised and electronic audio visual devices, but can also be part of a live performance.

Creative industries use multimedia for a variety of purposes ranging from fine arts, to entertainment, to commercial art, to journalism, to media and software services provided for many industries and purposes. Multimedia is heavily used in the entertainment industry, especially to develop special effects in movies and animations. Multimedia games are a popular pastime and are software programs available either as CD-ROMs or online.

In education, multimedia is used to produce computer-based training courses and reference books like encyclopaedia and almanacs. Computer based training lets the user go through a series of presentations, text about a particular topic, and associated illustrations in various information formats.
