Personal Computer Objectives: 1. Describe a personal computer 2. Identify the different types of personal computer 3. Identify the input, output and storage devices A personal computer (PC) is any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end user, with no intervening computer operator. Types of Personal Computer A personal computer may be a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet PC, or a handheld PC (also called a palmtop).
Desktop PC
Laptop
Tablet PC
Handheld PC (PDA)
A PC may be used at home, or may be found in an office. Personal computers can be connected to a local area network (LAN) either by a cable or a wireless connection. The Components of a Personal Computer The four basic tasks of a computer are to: receive information; process information; store information and send out information. By information we mean text, numbers, pictures, sounds, even electrical voltages. It is the combination of these four tasks with the aid of programs which allow computers to be so versatile.

Input Devices Input devices are any electronic devices connected to a computer that produce input signals. 1. Keyboard - The keyboard is used to input letters or numbers into different applications or programs. A keyboard also has special keys that help operate the computer. 2. Mouse - The mouse is used to open and close files, navigate web sites, and click on a lot of commands (to tell the computer what to do) when using different applications. It is considered as a pointing device. 3. Camera a camera installed in the computer is used during live conversations. The camera transmits a picture from one computer to another, or can be used to record a short video. 4. Drawing Tablet A drawing tablet is a device similar to a white board, except that a special pen is used for designing and it is connected to the computer. Words and images drawn in the drawing table can be saved in the computer. 5. Digital Camera - A digital camera can be used to take pictures. It can be hooked up to a computer to transfer the pictures from the camera to the computer. Some digital cameras hold a floppy disk, and the floppy disk can be taken out of the camera and put directly into the computer. Output Devices A display device is an output device that visually conveys texts, graphics and video information. 1. A monitor is an example of an output device that can be used to display text. It can also display graphics and video. It is similar to a television set that accepts video signals from a computer and displays information on its screen. 2. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projector uses its own light source to project what is displayed on the computer on a projection screen or wall. A digital light processing (DLP) projector uses tiny mirrors to reflect light which can be seen clearly in a well-lit room. 3. A printer is an output device that prints text and graphics on a physical medium such as paper or transparency film. 4. An audio output device produces music, speech, or other sounds.

Headphone - is a pair of small speakers placed over the ears and plugged into a port on the sound card. c. Woofer or subwoofer - is used to boost the low bass sound and is connected to the port on the sound card. Storage devices Information and documents are stored in computer storage so that it can be retrieved whenever they are needed. Computer storage is the storing of data in an electromagnetic form to be accessed by a computer processor. Types of Computer Storage Primary Storage Primary storage is the main memory in a computer. It stores data and programs that can be accessed directly by the processor. Types Of Primary Storage There are two types of primary storage which are RAM and ROM. RAM ROM
RAM is an acronym for RandomAccess Memory. The data and program in RAM can be read and written. RAM stores data during and after processing. RAM is also known

RAM as a working memory The data in RAM can be read (retrieved) or written (stored). computer.
ROM
All the contents in ROM can be accessed and read but cannot be changed. ROM is non-volatile. It holds the programs and data when the computer is powered off. Programs in ROM have been pre-recorded. It can only be stored by the manufacturer once and it cannot be changed.
RAM is volatile which means the programs and data in RAM are lost when the computer is powered off. A computer uses RAM to hold temporary instructions and data needed to complete tasks. This enables the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to access instructions and data stored in the memory very quickly Secondary Storage
Secondary storage is another alternative storage to save your work and documents. It is very useful to store programs and data for future use. It is non-volatile, which means that it does not need power to maintain the information stored in it. It will store the information until it is erased. Types of Secondary Storage 1. Magnetic such as floppy disk 2. Optical such as CD-ROM 3. Flash memory such as the pen drive, memory card and the memory stick

LCD Projector
Objectives: 1. Describe an LCD projector 2. Identify the different features of an LCD projector 3. Explain the advantages and limitation of an LCD 4. Describe keystone effect
LCD projector (Liquid Crystal Display) refers to a kind of video projector that is used to display or project an image, video, and computer data on a flat exterior or simply a screen. LCD projectors work by using three liquid crystal panels, a lamp, a prism, and filters to create the image on the screen. The lamp provides white light that passes through a polarizing filter. Polarizing works by accepting light that is traveling on the same plane. All other light will be blocked. From the polarizing filter the light is then passed through a series of dichroic mirrors. Dichroic mirrors work by only allowing certain colors in the light spectrum to be reflected, while others pass through. The dichroic mirrors in LCD projectors separate the light into the three primary colors, green, red, and blue. These three colors are then sent to a separate LCD panel; remember there are three of them. From there the LCD panels send the light through the dichroic prism which recombines the light and sends it out the main lens in the LCD projector to the surface against which it is projected. Each LCD is only capable of controlling one color. So if you were to see a picture of a red plane against a blue sky, the green LCD would block the light from passing to the dichroic prism and out the lens.

LCD panels in LCD projectors work by allowing the polarized light to travel through a pane of glass into the liquid crystal inside the display. The liquid crystals bend the light, and it is traveling on a different plane then when it entered through the polarizing filter. If you apply an electrical current to the liquid crystal they will align, allowing the light to pass through on the same plane as when it entered. If you add a second polarizing filter at the other end of the liquid crystal you can then effectively block all light from passing through. Each LCD panel has a separate system to control the electrical current that passes through the liquid crystal, allowing each to be controlled individually. Features of an LCD Projector 1. Projector Resolution Resolution refers to the number of dots of light that appear on a screen or a projected image. Even though some projectors may be able to work with several resolutions, there is one "native" resolution at which it works best. To get the best image, match the resolution of your projector with the resolution of your computer. Most of the latest model of projectors have higher resolutions to match most current laptop computers. The most common resolution today is XGA (1,024 x 768). For higher resolutions, such as SXGA (1,280 x 1,024), you'll pay a higher price for the projector. Projector Resolution Options

Description
SVGA projectors are advisable for those who have a tight budget. They are good for PowerPoint presentations and those that use clip art or line drawings. They're good for black and white, showing documents, etc. They are not good for presentations that require a lot of detail.

Description
Most computers still output in native XGA, so matching an XGA projector to your computer ensures you won't lose any detail. These are commonly used resolution for projectors. SXGA projectors have high resolution, and are more expensive than XGA. These products are targeted for high end personal computer users and low end workstation users. SXGA+ projectors are becoming more popular, and there are several offerings available in both budget and high-end configurations. These are very good for detailed photography and graphics. UXGA is for very high end high resolution workstation applications that require exacting detail. These are expensive projectors that support a broad range of computer equipment.

SXGA+ 1,400 x 1,050
UXGA 1,600 x 1,200
* The most popular projector resolution
NOTE: For best results, match the resolution of your computer with the native resolution of the projector.
2. Image Quality There are four factors that affects the quality of image. They are contrast, color, brightness, and how even the illumination is across the picture. The best way to get the highest quality image is to match the resolution of your projector with that of your computer. Every year, computers are sold with higher and higher resolutions with the most popular today being the XGA 1024 x 768 sold in the 4:3 aspect ratio. 3. Contrast Ratio Contrast is the difference between the brightest (white) and darkest (black) parts of the screen. Contrast helps to define the depth of an image, and is important when projecting video images. A good projector have a contrast ratio of at least 250:1 or more. The higher the contrast ratio, the better the projected image with the best quality projectors having a contrast ratio of 2,000:1.
Code No.

4.
Color
The more colors your projector can support, the better it will be able to project high quality images and video. Color helps to define the depth of an image, by adding shades to the objects displayed. Projectors should display 16 million colors or more which is adequate for computer screens and video. 5. Brightness The larger the number of audience and the bigger the room that you have, the bigger and brighter the image must be. The brightness level of a projector depends on the use and circumstances. Will you be in a small classroom, a conference room, or a large lecture hall or auditorium? Will the room be lit or darkened? These are some of the factors you must consider when purchasing a LCD projector. Trade show floors, for example, and other lighted environments require brighter images, while darkened rooms need less brightness. Typically, you should have at least 1,000 lumens to project effectively in a lighted room. For very large installations, 10,000 lumens is required. 6. Illumination Uniformity As you compare projectors, notice how the projector fills the screen. Is it even from side to side and top to bottom. You should avoid dark corners of the image and bright centers. Illumination uniformity refers to the percentage of brightness that is carried across your screen from edge to edge and top to bottom. A higher uniformity rating means a more uniform image brightness across your screen. You want uniformity at a level of 85% or better. 7. Projector Lenses Zoom lenses are almost standard on today's projectors. The zoom lens lets you project a larger or smaller image on your screen depending on the distance between your projector and the screen. The best lenses are manufactured with glass, but some models are using plastic lenses to cut down on weight. Glass will give you a clearer, sharper image. Some projectors are also available with interchangeable lenses. The f-number of the lens is a measure of how much light gets through the lens to the screen. 8. Projector Lamps Projector lamps are one of the hidden costs of a projector. It's like toner cartridges for printers. Over the life of the printer, you'll probably pay more for the toner cartridges than you originally paid for the printer. The same is true for projectors. The lamp is the most expensive part of the projector. The lamp

type is related to the image brightness. The most common types of projector lamp are the following: UHP - Ultra High Performance UHE - Ultra High Efficiency Some projectors also use metal halide lamps.
Lamp life is rated in hours. The typical lamp life for a projector is between 1,000 and 4,000 hours and depending on how much the projector is used, can add to the total cost of operating a projector over a given period of time. Replacement bulbs run anywhere from P 15,000 to P 30,000. A lower watt lamp will stay cooler and last longer than a higher watt bulb. Since it uses less power, it will also cost less to operate. Other Features of a Projector Today's LCD projectors are very easy to use. They are plug-n-play and require only a few minutes to set up. Some projectors come with additional features that can be very convenient and are ones that you should consider in your purchase decision. Some LCD projectors are wireless for easy set-up and no cables to mess with. Networked connections so that projector can be controlled from a remote location Component video inputs for higher quality video. This is the preferred input for projecting video. Digital Keystone Correction for adjusting the rectangular shape on the screen when the projector cannot be positioned perpendicular to the screen. Wireless mouse control for freedom to move around while you are presenting. Dual computer inputs for hooking up to more than one computer.
Projector Aspect Ratios Aspect ratios refer to the number of units wide to the number of units high of your LCD projector display. For years, the standard was 4:3, but with the popularity of wide screens, the new option is 16 x 9. A 4 x 3 display is more square than the rectangular shaped 16 x 9.

Keystone Effect The keystone effect is caused by attempting to project an image onto a surface at an angle, as with a projector not quite centered onto the screen it is projecting on. It is a distortion of the image dimensions, making it look like a trapezoid, the shape of an architectural keystone; hence the name of the feature. In the typical case of a projector sitting on a table, and looking upwards to the screen, the image is larger at the top than on the bottom. Some areas of the screen may not be focused correctly as the projector lens is focused at the average distance only. Two types of keystone effects 1. Vertical keystone effects This usually occurs when the projector is above or below the centerline of the screen. 2. Horizontal keystone effects This happens when the projector is to the left or right of the screen.

The Advantages Of The LCD Projector 1. What makes the LCD projector very practical is that it is compact, since the LCD chip is very small. 2. Other advantages of the LCD projector are its high contrast and brightness capability, as well as lower power consumption. These combinations of factors make the LCD projector very portable for multimedia use, such as training presentations (even in partially lit rooms). Limitations Of The LCD Projector 1. LCD projector can often times exhibit what is called "the screen door effect". Since the screen is made up of individual pixels, the pixels can be visible on a large screen, thus giving the appearance of viewing the image through a "screen door". Since an LCD chip is made up of a panel of individual pixels, if one pixel burns out it displays an annoying black or white dot on the projected image. Individual pixels cannot be repaired, if one or more pixels burn out, the entire chip has to be replaced. 2. Since LCD chips have a finite number of pixels, signal inputs that have higher resolutions must be scaled to fit the pixel field count of the particular LCD chip. For example, a typical HDTV input format of 1080i needs a native display of 1920x1080 pixels for a one-to-one display of the HDTV image. However, if your LCD chip only has a pixel field of 1024x768, the original HDTV signal must be scaled to fit the 1024x768 pixel count on the LCD chip (in addition the image will also have to be letterboxed to reproduce the correct widescreen aspect ratio). 3. As mentioned earlier, the LCD light source (bulb) in an LCD projector must be replaced periodically, depending on the projector, about every 2,000 to 3,000 hours, at a cost of several thousand pesos. On the positive side of this, a new lamp basically gives you a new LCD projector, as your original brightness and contrast are restored, and most bulbs can be self-installed by the consume

DLP Projector Objectives: 1. Describe a DLP projector 2. Explain the advantages and limitation of a DLP projector
The DLP Projector (Digital Light Processing) The fastest growing type of video projector (in terms of sales) in use today is the DLP (Digital Light Processing) projector. Like LCD, the actual image is displayed on a chip, however, the chip used in a DLP projector is different. The chip in a DLP projector is referred to as a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device). In essence, every pixel on a DMD chip is a reflective mirror. The video image is displayed on the DMD chip. The micromirrors on the chip (remember: each micromirror represents one pixel) then tilt very rapidly as the image changes. This process produces the grayscale foundation for the image. Then, color is added as light passes through a high-speed color wheel and is reflected off of the micromirrors on the DLP chip as they rapidly tilt towards or away from the light source. The degree of tilt of each micromirror coupled with the rapidly spinning color wheel determines the color structure of the projected image. As the amplified light bounces off the micromirrors, it is sent through the lens and can be projected on a large screen. For further technical explanations, click on the DLP projector resource links on the upper right sidebar of this page. Advantages Of The DLP Projector 1. The advantages of this system make the DLP projector suitable for not only business and home theater application, but DLP technology is also in use in some movie theaters for feature film projection. Basically the films are digitally converted and stored to either to a hard drive or optical disc (similar to DVD - only in High Definition), then fed into the DLP projector and projected onto the movie screen. The high resolution DLP chips made for this application render an image that is almost as good as 35 or 70mm film, without all those film scratches! 2. Other advantages of the DLP projector include excellent color accuracy, no "screen door" effect(as with LCD), due to its micro-mirror construction, compactness, low power consumption, and high contrast and brightness (although typically not as bright as LCD types but much "smoother" looking).
35
Limitations of The DLP Projector 1. The same with LCD, each DLP chip has a finite number of pixels. 2. Although a DLP projector doesn't exhibit the "screen door" effect of many LCD units, a DLP projector can exhibit what is referred to as "the rainbow effect". Basically, the "rainbow effect" is exhibited by a brief flash of colors (like a small rainbow) when the viewer rapidly looks from side to side on the screen or looks rapidly from the screen to side of the room. Fortunately, this does not occur frequently and many people do not have sensitivity to this effect at all. 3. Just as in LCD projectors, the light source typically must be changed every 2,000 to 3,000 hours.

VCD/DVD Player
Objectives: 1. Describe a VCD/DVD player. 2. Identify the different component parts of a VCD/DVD player
A CD/DVD player is a device that plays discs produced under both the DVD-Video and DVD-Audio technical standards, two different and incompatible standards. Additionally, most DVD players allow users to play audio CDs and Video CDs (VCD). A few include a home cinema decoder (i.e. Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS)). Some newer devices also play videos in the MPEG-4 ASP video compression format (such as DivX) popular in the Internet. Components of a CD/DVD Player The components of a DVD machine are typically manufactured by separate companies and then assembled by the DVD manufacturer. The production of the component parts is a highly specialized process, and only a few companies are equipped to supply the entire industry. The main components include the optical system assembly, internal electronic circuit board and the disk drive mechanism.

A DVD player is composed of sophisticated electronics, including a disc drive mechanism, a printed circuit board, and an optical system assembly. It consists of a spindle that holds the disc and a motor that spins it. The circuit board contains all of the electronic components, which help convert the data being read into a usable format. The optical system assembly is the part of the DVD that reads the data from the disc and transmits it to be converted into binary code.
Optical system
The optical system is made up of a laser, photodetector, prism, mirrors, and lenses. The laser and photodetector are installed on a plastic housing, and the other components are placed in specific places. Great care is taken in the positioning of each of these pieces because without proper alignment, the system will not perform properly. Electrical connections are attached and the optical system is then ready to be attached to the disc drive mechanism.
Disk drive mechanism

The optical system is attached to the motor that will drive it. This in turn is connected to the other principle parts of the disc drive including the loading tray (if present) and the spindle motor. Other gears and belts are attached and the entire assembly is placed in the main body.
Internal electronics
The electronic components of the DVD machine are sophisticated and use the latest in electronic processing technology. The circuit board is produced much like that of other electronic equipment.

Overhead Projector
Objectives: 1. Describe an overhead projector 2. Identify the different parts of an overhead projector 3.

Because of its many virtues, the overhead projection system has advanced rapidly in the past several decades to become the most widely used audiovisual device in classroom and training sites. The typical overhead projector is a very simple device. Basically, it is a box with a large aperture or stage on the top surface. Light from a powerful lamp inside the box is condensed by a special type of lens, known as Fresnel lens, and passes through a transparency (approximately 8 by 10 inches) placed on the stage. A lens-and-mirror system mounted on a bracket above the box turns the light beam 90 degrees and projects the image back over the shoulder of the presenter.

Because of the widespread familiarity of overhead projection, the general term transparency has taken on, in the instructional setting, the specific meaning of the large-format 8-by-10-inch film used with the overhead projector. Transparencies may be composed of photographic film, clear acetate, or any of number of other transparent materials capable of being imprinted with an image by means of chemical or heat processes. Transparencies maybe used individually or maybe made into a series of images consisting of a base visual with one or more overlays attached to the base with hinges. Complex topics can be explained step-by-step by flipping on a series of overlays one at a time that add additional features to a diagram. Advantages The overhead projection system has a number of unique features that give it the tremendous versatility for which it is acclaimed by so many instructors. 1. Its bright lamp is efficient optical system generate so much light on the screen that the overhead can be used in normal room lighting. 2. The projector is operated from the front of the room with the presenter facing the audience, allowing direct eye contact to be maintained. Most overhead projectors are lightweight and easily portable. All are simple to operate. 3. A variety of materials can be projected, including cutout silhouettes, small opaque objects, and many types of transparencies. Projected materials can be manipulated by the presenter. You can point to important items, highlight them with colored pens, add details during the lesson (notes, diagrams, etc.) by marking the transparency with a marking pen or cover part of a message and progressively reveal information. As noted previously, complex visuals can be presented in a series of overlays. Commercially produced transparencies are available covering a broad range of curriculum areas. 4. Trainers can easily prepare their own transparencies. Information that might otherwise have to be placed on a chalkboard during a class session (lesson outlines, for example) maybe prepared in advance for presentation at a proper time. Research indicates that retention of main points improves significantly when visual outlines are presented. More individuals decided to act on the recommendations of presenters who used overheads than on recommendations of presenters who did not. 5. Another study suggests that trainers who use the overhead projector tend to be more organized than teacher who rely on notes or printed outlines. Students in this study participated more frequently in discussions in the classes where the overhead was used.

Limitations 1. The effectiveness of overhead projection presentations is heavily dependent on the presenter. The overhead projector cannot be programmed to display visual sequences by itself, nor is an audio accompaniment provided. 2. The overhead system does not lend itself to independent study. The projection system is designed for large-group presentation. Of course, an individual student could look at a transparency by holding it up to the light or by laying it on a light table; but because captions or audio tracks are not a part of this format, the material would ordinarily not be selfinstructional. 3. Printed materials and other non transparent items, such as magazine illustrations, cannot be projected immediately, as is possible with the opaque projector. To use the overhead system such materials have to be made into transparencies by means of some production process. 4. Distortion of images is more prevalent with the overhead than with other projection systems. The projector is commonly placed at desktop level to facilitate the instructors writing on transparencies. The screen, on the other hand, needs to be placed on a higher level for unobstructed audience sight lines. This discrepancy in levels causes a distortion referred to as the keystone effect.

Mixer Audio Amplifier Mixer When most users think of a sound system, they think of the visible endpoints: microphone or the loudspeaker. But neither of these passive components can create any sound without active components between them. Microphone signals require a preamp, signal processing, and amplification before the loudspeaker can do its job. For small sound system requirements, there's nothing more convenient than combining some of these tasks into a single component, and that's where the mixer/amplifier (or powered mixer) really shines. Mixer/amps are most commonly used for smaller venues such as clubs, coffee houses, and even schoolmultipurpose rooms. But they are equally useful in any building where a sound system might be temporarily set up in different rooms (or outdoors) on different days. In some cases, portable mixer/amps are even permanently installed, despite their ultra-portable nature. Advantages 1. Mixer/amplifiers usually combine a mixer, equalizer, and amplifier all into one unit. 2. They typically range from six to 20 inputs, and up to 1,200 watts total power output. 3. For portable applications, the advantages are obvious. Most manufacturers provide units with built-in carrying handles to take full advantage of the compact size and feature combination. Since all three components are included, there is only one box to carry instead of three. There is also less set up required, since you don't need to interconnect the components. Disadvantages 1. High-quality mixer/amp can cost as much or more than its separate components. 2. If one part of the mixer/amp fails, you need to replace the entire unit in order to get your sound system up and running. 3. Since the equalizer is always exposed (as opposed to being in a separately located rack somewhere), it is susceptible to tampering by

HOW TO CHOOSE A MIXER/AMP Here are some of the more popular features, and the decision you need to make before choosing the right one for your application. Mic/line/instrument inputs: How many microphones will you be using? Don't forget to include direct inputs from DVD players or musical instruments. And keep future expansion in mind. Equalization: This can range from simple treble, mid, bass control to multi-band graphic or parametric equalizers. It depends on how much control over tone shaping or feedback you think you'll need. Direct Outs/Inserts: If you'll be using external sound effect devices or other signal processing, you'll want input/output access to individual channels. Mono or stereo: Stereo amplifiers are important for high-quality music, but it's also useful for sending different output levels to each loudspeaker. Monitor outs: For musicians, separate monitor outputs can be essential. But it's also useful for sending signal to outboard amplifiers for control over multiple loudspeaker zones.

Microphone Objectives:
1. Describe a microphone 2. Identify the different types of microphones and explain their advantages and disadvantages Microphone A microphone is an electromechanical device that uses vibration to create an electrical signal proportional to the vibration, which is usually an air pressure wave. 1. Dynamic microphone Dynamic microphones are one of the simplest and most rugged of microphone designs. The pickup diaphragm is connected to a coil/magnet assembly - similarly to a loudspeaker cone, but in reverse. Vibration of the diaphragm, caused by sound pressure waves, in turn moves the coil relative to the magnet and produces an electrical signal. The dynamic microphone produces current mechanically, and therefore does not require a power source. Common uses : Microphones for live performance, or requiring the ability to handle high volumes and/or particular frequency bands Small, inexpensive, rugged and relatively moistureresistant Uneven frequency response
Advantages
Disadvantages :
Shure SM58 dynamic microphone
Code No.

2. Condenser microphone Condensers are generally acknowledged to be the best microphones for recording speech, acoustic instruments, and indeed all sources where subjective sound quality and musicality are paramount. Their cost, delicacy and sensitivity, however, make them unsuitable for some acoustic environments. They use a small sealed capsule - usually up to one inch in diameter - one side of which is a very thin membrane pickup. Using either an external current (phantom power) or a electrostatic magnet to provide a difference in electrical charge between the two sides of the capsule, the variation in distance between the two, caused by sound waves, is output as a continuous signal. Moisture or condensation trapped in the capsule of a condenser microphone can permanently damage it, so use caution in positioning and storage [see Microphone care] 3. Lavaliere microphone The term lavalier refers to a miniature and usually body-worn microphone. Lavaliers can be of condenser or dynamic types, and often come paired with a beltpack to transmit the signal wirelessly [see wireless systems]. Their small size allows them to be clipped to clothing or worn on a lanyard, and in combination with a radio system give the speaker complete freedom of movement. Though many provide excellent sound quality, their size and design mean that they do not equal larger microphones in quality of output and frequency response, and their signal-to-noise ratio is generally somewhat lower. However, in an environment where a mobile speaker requires a discrete mic with good clarity, where absolute sound quality is not a priority, they are an ideal choice. Common uses : Advantages : Television interviews, lectures, seminars etc Small size, clip-on. Combined with radio beltpack give complete freedom of movement Limited frequency response, self-noise
Disadvantages :
Lavalier microphone
Code No.

4. Radio microphone Wireless radio microphones transmit the microphone signal from a battery powered mobile transmitter to a matching receiver, attached to the camera/recorder/laptop etc. This allows a degree of freedom to the subject which is not available with a conventional wired mic. Wireless microphones fall into two broad categories : 4.1 Handheld transmitter The familiar handheld radio mic, incorporating a radio transmitter and batteries into the body of the microphone. Can also be used in combination with a microphone boom. 4.2 Beltpack transmitter Used in combination with a miniature clip-on lavalier (see above) or a headband worn mic, the beltpack transmitter is worn by the subject, and attached by a short cable to the mic itself, and again contains batteries and radio transmitter Radio microphones will use one of a set of allowed frequencies - either switchable on mic and receiver, or fixed by the manufacturers. If multiple mics are to be used in the same venue, then they must all be set to different frequencies, to avoid interference. Fixed frequency mics can therefore usually be ordered in a range of different frequencies. It is advisable to use fresh batteries in the radio mic transmitter for each event. Common uses : Advantages : Lectures, broadcast, live performance No wires! Freedom of movement, unobtrusive More complex setup, reliance on batteries, lower signal-to-noise ratio
Disadvantages :
Radio system components (clockwise from top left): clip-on Lavalier microphone, beltpack transmitter, headworn mic, handheld transmitters, diversity receiver
Code No.

5. Piezoelectric microphone Certain chemical compounds will, when pressure is applied to them, generate an electrical impulse. In a piezo-electric microphone, sound waves apply varying pressure to the pickup, which contains this type of substance (often a crystalline material) and produce the output signal. Common uses : Advantages : Contact microphones/pickups for guitars, drums and acoustic instruments No exposed moving parts, so can be used in extreme conditions where a conventional microphone is unsuitable (underwater, for example) Limited frequency response
Disadvantages :
Directional Properties Every microphone has a property known as directionality. This describes the microphone's sensitivity to sound from various directions. Some microphones pick up sound equally from all directions; others pick up sound only from one direction or a particular combination of directions. The types of directionality are divided into three main categories: 1. Omnidirectional Picks up sound evenly from all directions (omni means "all" or "every"). 2. Unidirectional Picks up sound predominantly from one direction. This includes cardioid and hypercardioid microphones. 3. Bidirectional Picks up sound from two opposite directions.

Problems No Sound
Yes No
What to do Be sure everything is plugged into AC power and turned on. Be sure that all cables are connected to their proper equipment inputs and outputs Put fresh batteries in wireless microphones Check for signal presence in each component by looking at the meters or indicator lights Check all switch positions of the microphone, audio mixer and amplifier.
Distortion
If distortion can be heard on every sound source, make sure that the power amplifier is not turned up so high that it is clipping Make sure that the mixer meters do not reach above 0 except occasionally. A stray wire in a connector might be causing a short circuit which can create distortion. Check inside each connector for stray wires and cut them off. Clean connectors with contact cleaner
Code No.

Problems
Yes No
What to do If only one microphone is distorting, locate its input trim (gain or atten) control on the mixer. Turn the control down just to the point where the distortion stops, then a bit more to allow some headroom. If the input trim is set correctly and you still hear distortion, switch in the pad in the mic, or substitute another microphone. Also, replace the batteries in battery-powered microphones. There might not have enough phantom voltage for a condenser mic. Most of these mics need 18V or more. If several condenser mics are plugged in, the phantom voltage might drop too low. Consider using an external phantom supply.
Noise (Hiss)
Be sure that mixer meters are reaching 0 on the loudest parts of the program. If this is too loud, turn down the power amplifier, not the mixer.
Check that the mixer master faders and submaster faders (if any) are at or near design center Replace the batteries in battery-powered microphones and transmitters.
Noise (Crackles)
If a pot crackles when turned, try to clean it by rotating it rapidly. Eventually it should be cleaned internally by a service technician. If a mic cable crackles when moved, replace it with a new cable or a higher-quality cable. Also check the solder connections inside each cable connector.

LCD Projector Presentation Skills Objective: 1. Explain the guidelines in using LCD projectors. 2. Explain the guidelines in giving presentations In the growing world of technology, the popularity of computers to generate presentations is increasing. Todays laptop computers coupled with many of the common software packages offer flexibility to the presenter. A professional looking presentation can be prepared ahead of time and displayed using this exciting technology. Here are some guidelines when using LCD projectors: 1. Read the LCD projector manual on its proper operation - Not all LCD projectors work the same and each has their own unique operating requirements. Be familiar with the projector BEFORE using it during your actual presentation is necessary. Make sure your computer can properly interfaced with the LCD projector. 2. Practice setting the equipment up several times - Spend some time to learn on how to properly set up the LCD projector with your computer and other computers. If possible, set up the LCD projector in the actual presentation environment or in the venue where you will be using it. 3. Set up well in advance Giver yourself enough time to set up your computer and LCD projector. 4. Check the LCD projector bulb life - LCD projector bulbs do have limited life. Some bulbs have shorter lives than others. Check and make sure the bulb you will be using is not close to the end of its life. 5. Bring a spare bulb and cables! - Always carry spare bulbs with you and make sure you know how to properly change the bulb. Also, remember, "Hot" glass looks like "Cold" glass; be careful and bring a towel or glove to use when changing the bulb. Practice changing the bulb during one of your practice sessions. 6. Check your presentation color combinations - Take some time to check out the actual presentation for the color combinations you will be using. Some colors and color combinations may not have good projection.
Code No.

7. Check the font size you are using - Nothing is more frustrating to an audience than text that cannot be easily seen or read. Make sure you are using the proper text size for the distance you will be projecting your slides. 8. As with any sophisticated piece of equipment, it is critical that you familiarize yourself with the proper setup and operation of the equipment well in advance of your actual presentation. Remember, the more technology you bring to your presentation, the more care and time you need to include during your preparation stage. If everything is well planned, properly checked and you have familiarized with this new equipment, it can add a lot of excitement and life to your presentations. Guidelines in giving your presentation There are four things to remember during your presentation:
1. Presence
As you start with your presentation, make a conscious effort to stand tall, take a deep breath and look as if you're going to enjoy being there.
2. Eye contact
Make eye contact with people in your audience in a friendly way. People respond much better when they think you are talking to them. In a small room, try to make eye contact with each person in the audience; in a larger hall, make eye contact with different groups in the audience.
3. Voice

Speak slowly and clearly Speak loudly enough so everyone can hear Remember to breathe slowly and deeply
4. Move
You are allowed to move as you give your presentation, but avoid pacing up and down or fiddling with your hands, spectacles or pen. Keep your hands out of your pockets and away from your face

Using Videos in Training Objectives: 1. Identify the practices in training using videos 2. Identify the advantages of using videos in training 3. Identify the disadvantages of using videos in training
In the absence of field, classroom and hands on training, video becomes an important learning tool. We know from research that people tend to remember: 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we hear and see.
Whats new to this research is that we will remember 70%-90% of we see, hear and experience. The experience element does not always mean hands-on because todays visual learner get almost the same experience from a well done training or demonstration video as they from hands-on work. How and When to use Video Video can be used in a variety of ways to enhance any training topic. Here are some examples of best practices for training use. Always preview video in advance to make it easier to connect to training objectives. When possible, show short clips for longer programs than to introduce or reinforce discussion. Set the learning condition for attentive viewing by giving trainees active assignments before a clip to encourage their attention and post discussion. Use the pause button to promote interactivity between yourself, the video and the trainees.

Where appropriate, use the pause button to freeze on specific frame of video to encourage the trainees to search for more detail. Lead-ins to video segments could include: Listen to this term Think of similar examples.. Watch for.. List the things in this video that .
After the video; Check for understanding Reinforce a point Connect to real examples Ask, What did you see, etc
Advantages of Videos It can easily be duplicated It is reusable and portable It can be used by the trainees at their convenience It can save the travel expenses and time It can bring productivity savings
Disadvantages of Video Information may not be specific to the training but it must appeal to large audience Trainees control the process of learning, which can sometimes lead to leniency on the part of trainees causing waste of resources, time, and money Learning at homes can bring many distractions, which in turn may result that trainee can stop the video anytime for his personal work Trainee may also fast-forward many parts, if he finds the video boring
Therefore, evaluating learning becomes very important when this type of training technique is used.

Using Overhead Projectors in Training Objectives: 1. Explain the guidelines in using Overhead projectors 2. Explain the operation of an overhead projector
While the current trend in the training industry is heading toward the use of the LCD Projector technology, the overhead projector is still the most popular presentation device used today. Most facilities have an overhead projector in every training room or conference room. Although it is the most widely used, it is also considered as more misuse equipment. Some presenters continue to misuse the overhead projector even though they have used them for years. Below are some basic guidelines and tips in using an overhead projector. Although some of these tips are observable but still, many presentations are not successfully done because these basic tips are not consistently applied. Here are some tips and rules to be aware of: 1. Practice giving your presentation using your visual aids to check out how well they project. This is a good time to also check for spelling errors. Have a friend sit and watch your presentation and make notes on any problems or needed improvements with your visual aids. Practice using your overhead transparencies so you will be comfortable with handling them correctly. 2. Stand off to one side of the overhead projector while you face the audience - Too many people stand between the overhead projector and the screen causing a shadow of the presenter's body. Standing to one side will allow the audience to see you as the presenter and will prevent you from blocking their view of your visual aid. 3. Do not face the "projected" image on the screen - Face your audience and not the screen. Many presenters face the screen and end up talking to the screen. 4. Cover the transparency when you are done using it-with an opaque piece of cardboard (you can usually mount a solid sheet of paper on one side of transparency frames). You may also turn off the projector completely, but beware; this can cause the projector bulb to burn out sooner.
93
5. Bring a spare bulb!-Nothing is more unsettling than to have your overhead projector bulb burn out during your presentation. Bring spare bulbs and a glove to change the bulb. The old bulb will be HOT! Make sure you know how to change the bulb. CAUTION: Remember HOT glass looks the same as cold glass! 6. Place the overhead to your RIGHT if you are right handed and to your LEFT if you are left handed-This will make it easier for you to face your audience and write if you need to. In either case, you want to stand in the center of the speaking area and face the audience when you speak. 7. Place your overhead projector on a table low enough so it does not block you or the screen. Have a small table next to the overhead so you can stack your transparencies before and after you use them. 8. Place your screen on a diagonal instead of directly behind youthis will assure that you do not block the view for your audience. Also, have the top of the screen tilted forward towards the overhead projector (if possible) to prevent the "keystone" effect (This is where the top of the image is larger than the bottom). 9. Tape the power chord to the floor-to protect you or someone else from tripping. As the presenter, tripping over the chord and falling, although humorous, is one large gesture you would prefer to avoid. 10. Store your overhead transparencies in a sturdy box or container so they will stay clean and protected for the next time you need them. Label the box and include a "clean" copy of your handouts in the box. This will make it easier for you the next time you give your award winning presentation again. Operating an OHP is a relative simple matter requiring little thought or preparation. Using an OHP effectively is also a relatively simple matter. But it does require more than a little thought and preparation. Below are some suggestions about what you should think about, and prepare for, to make your use of the OHP more effective. Some may appear to be obvious and fundamental - but youd be surprised how often the obvious is overlooked. Before the lesson Make sure that: You are familiar with and know how to operate the particular OHP in the room you will be using. The OHP is plugged in, switched on and is in working order.

The OHP is suitably located and projects your transparencies on the screen clearly enough to be seen from all parts of the room. Check this by moving to various parts of the room to confirm that all parts of the transparency are legible. In some cases, ambient light might cause some interference and you might have to draw curtains or blinds or turn out lights.
Your transparencies are arranged in order of presentation and placed near the projector. Fumbling around for transparencies in the middle of a lesson is distracting and will upset the flow of your presentation.
During the lesson Dont stand or move backwards and forwards between the projector and the screen. That is, unless you are demonstrating silhouettes. This should he an obvious concern but it happens so often. Preferably, point to the transparency rather than to the screen when referring to a particular point of information being projected. Some people prefer referring to the screen, the two dangers in this are: (a) you might block out important information being projected, and (b) it is difficult or at least awkward to do this and maintain eye contact with the class. Referring directly to the transparency is somewhat easier and allows maintenance of eye contact. Use a pen, pencil or a piece of coloured gel to point to or highlight particular information on the transparency. This leaves you free to move around if you wish. Dont reveal all of the information on the transparency at once except where this may be inappropriate. Revealing a whole list or series of points or a whole diagram may be confusing to the class. Lists, series and diagrams can be built up or developed in several ways.
Code No.

The most common approach is to cover the transparency with card and to reveal the information in a step-by-step manner or by moving the card down or along the transparency. This is particularly appropriate when referring to lists or a series of points. Using one or more overlays is a good way of building up a diagram. Above all, dont leave the projector lamp on if you are not projecting a transparency. A blank screen can be most distracting, so dont be afraid to turn the projector off or cover the plate with opaque card. However, avoid turning the lamp on and off too frequently or too many times in quick succession because this may cause it to blow (and OHP lamps are not cheap!!). Transparencies Some golden rules to consider when designing and preparing your transparencies includes the following: Make sure that the information presented is legible. Use large letters and diagrams, the bigger the better. Dont have too much information on one transparency. Too much text, too many different colours, symbols or information carriers can be confusing. Dont be afraid to use several transparencies or to use overlays to build up your text or diagram.

Maintenance Activity for a Personal Computer Objective: Identify the different maintenance procedures for a personal computer Isnt it just great when you get your new computer in your training room and it is running like clockwork? However after even a few weeks of use it can become slower due to the build-up of data unnecessarily stored on the computer. This is one reason why everyone needs to follow a computer maintenance checklist that will hopefully cover all the maintenance jobs that you need to keep your computer running smoothly. Check your hard disk for bad sectors and errors This is probably the most important job on the maintenance checklist because Scandisk checks your hard drive for errors. If there is a problem with your hard drive then you are in trouble. It is the main component in your computer and stores all of your precious data and files. It is always best to perform this check before using the disk defragmenter as the disk defragmenter will not work when there are file errors or hard disk errors. Here are the steps on how to maintain your hard drive and check for bad sectors and errors: 1. Go to the Start Menu and choose My Computer 2. Right click on the drive you want to check. I always check C: drive as it is my main drive. 3. Choose Properties from the drop down menu. 4. Click on the Tools tab 5. Here you can press check now to scan your hard disc for errors. 6. A box will appear with some choices. Choose to let Windows fix errors automatically. 7. Then press start. 8. When it is finished scanning a report will appear. Defragment your computer The Windows Disk defragmenter organizes files and data into areas that helps the computer run smoothly. It moves the frequently used files to an easy access area and the least used files, the opposite. It also gathers fragmented
Code No.

109
files and groups them back together. You should defrag your computer every 10-15 days. How to Defragment your computer: 1. Go to the Start Menu and choose My Computer 2. Right click on the drive you want to check. I always check C: drive as it is my main drive. 3. Choose Properties from the drop down menu. 4. Click on the Tools tab 5. Here you can click on Defragmentation to defrag your hard disc. 6. Then press defragment now. Remove unwanted and junk files Windows helps you get through your maintenance checklist by providing system tools that help you clean your computer and keep it running smoothly. There are two main ways to delete files safely with the help of Windows. Disk Cleanup: This will remove such files as temporary files, the recycle bin, compressed old files, offline WebPages, and downloaded program files. To get there you can go to my computer>right click on the drive you want to clean>choose properties>then choose disk cleanup. Delete browsing history: You will be amazed on the number of files you collected when you browse the internet. Temporary internet files, cookies, history, form data, and passwords. To keep your computer running smoothly you must regularly delete all of this junk. If you are a person that likes the computer filling in your passwords you should probably leave the cookies and the passwords.
o
To get there go to Control Panel and open Internet Options> On the General tab>next to the heading browsing history>click on the delete button. This will take you to a menu like the screenshot next page. You can choose to delete all at the bottom or you can delete them individually.
Code No.

Clean out your email This may be over done, however, if you delete an email in Outlook express, it then goes to the deleted folder. Then you have to delete it from there. Some programs then take that email to the recycle bin, where it has to be deleted again. I know it sounds crazy, but it does happen. Keep your programs under control Remove any programs that you do not use or have a trial period that has expired: There is nothing worse than having a nagging message come up saying that your trial period is over. You are wasting your computer time and energy. There are two options here, delete the program or buy the full version. Keep up to date with Windows updates: Let Windows updates do its thing because it usually keeps your computer up to date with security breaches and bug fixes. Register your programs: Either register your programs or tick the box that says never show this window again. If you leave this unfinished it will be another process that is running in the background, slowing your computer down.
Code No.

Dont install too many programs: You only need one program to perform a certain task. You should not be having three different photo editing programs or 2 different video editing programs for example. The less your computer has on it the better it will run.
Have an external drive for instant backup It doesnt just have to be an external hard drive, it could also be a USB flash drive, a re-writeable DVD disc, a spare hard drive installed in your computer, or even another computer altogether. If you instantly backup you files to another device you will have less maintenance to do on your computer. You will not be clogging your computer up with files and data and if your computer crashes your files will be safe. Windows Vista and Windows Seven still have files that you need to backup, however they both have an inbuilt backup feature. If you are backing up manually then the files are just stored in different areas. For example in Windows Vista and Seven you have a username that all your files are stored under. The path to this folder is C:\users\mitz this is where you will find the Documents folder, the pictures, music, and so on. Keep your computer organized You are probably wondering why this is on a computer maintenance checklist, however it can be very important. Being organized helps you keep track of files and folders. This way you will know if you need a particular file on your computer or not? You can backup or delete un-wanted files and just store the ones you really need. Keeping your computer neat and tidy helps you with the backup process. This way you know where everything is and can copy it easily. Guard your computer from viruses Anti virus software: Always have good antivirus software installed. The free ones do work occasionally, however you are better off paying for an antivirus that has backup support and regular updates. Limit Downloading: Downloading from unknown sources is dangerous because it is highly likely that you will end up with a virus. If you are downloading a program it is best to make sure it comes from a reputable software manufacturer. Do your research and you will save your computer some stress. Bad websites: Websites that offer things that are too good to be true or have XXXX content usually can give you a virus or a tracking cookie the instant you visit this site. the best way is to stay away from these sites. Suspicious emails: If you are not sure who has sent an email and it has an attachment, do not open it, and delete it. If it really is important the person will resend it to you. I received one to my personal email saying here are your credit card records you

requestedetc etc I was really tempted to open it but I knew it wasnt from my bank. I just wanted to see if they really had my credit card number, but I deleted it. They wanted me to open it.
Illegal software: If you dont have the real deal software you are putting your computer at risk. People have tampered and altered this software to make it work illegally and who knows what they have added to it. This software can also very easily do weird things to your computer.
Check and clean your registry from errors You will probably have to buy a program for this. They automatically fix registry problems and prevent your computer from crashing or freezing due to hidden errors. One of the top programs that is Vista certified is Errorsmart or RegistrySmart Clean inside your computer case You are probably thinking why do I have to do that? Well you want to clean inside your computer to remove dust and dirt from the components inside the computer. Power supplies often blow up from being clogged with dust and processors usually overheat and die. It is a very common cause of hardware failure, and therefore prevention is better than cure.

Maintenance Activity for an LCD/DLP Projector Objective: To identify the different maintenance procedures for an LCD/DLP projector
Properly caring for your projector is the easiest way to ensure that it last and performs flawlessly when you need it. Some simple steps that you can take include: Clean air-filters The primary maintenance requirement for a projector is changing or cleaning the filter. Clean filters allow the projector to stay cool, which is critical for keeping them healthy. Clean filters every 3-6 months, defending on frequency of use. Replace filters according to the schedule specified in your owners manual. Some manufacturers now offer filter less projectors which means less cleaning for you. Clean the air filters following the steps below. 1. Turn the power off and disconnect the AC power from the AC outlet. 2. Turn the projector upside down and remove air filters. 3. Clean air filters with brush or wash out the dust particles. 4. Replace air filters. Make sure that the air filters are fully inserted. CAUTION: Do not operate projector with the air filter removed. The dust may get stuck on the LCD panel and mirror, and it may affect the fine picture image. Clean the projector lens Clean the projectors lens regularly with a lens cloth. This will guarantee the best image quality and can be purchased at most camera store.

Maintenance Activity for an VCD/DVD Player Objective: To identify the different maintenance activity for a VCD/DVD player.
Like any other electronic appliance or computer systems, DVD players attract dirt and lint that can accumulate both inside and outside of the device's body. DVD player cleaning take the form of an ordinary feather duster, a soft fiber cloth, and a DVD disc for cleaning your DVD player's lens. Cleaning the Body of Your DVD Player Luckily for us, cleaning DVD players is similar to how we clean other electronic appliances and computer units. As DVD player construction and design is very similar to computers, pay attention to the areas where dust is most likely to build up. Look out for vent areas and when you find out the dust has accumulated, do not use an air duster or blow away the dust off as you might push it inside your DVD player. A not-so-big feather duster should do the trick, but dust if gently away from your DVD player. It is of utmost important that this vent is free from dust and lint as heat dissipating from the inside of your DVD Player might not escape, causing the DVD player to overheat. A DVD player also has a fan inside that keeps it cool. A malfunctioning fan inside your DVD Player might cause your player to break down. A good way to clean this vent is by using a can of compressed air. Softly spray into the vent to clear out the dust from building up. For other external parts of your DVD player, use a soft, moistened cloth that absorbs dust. Cleaning Your DVD Player's Lens Cleaning your DVD player's lens is as important as cleaning the external parts of your DVD player. A clean DVD player Lens ensures that your DVD disc would be read properly. Unfortunately, your DVD player's Lens accumulate as much dust and lint as the other parts of the DVD player. The good news is, there are many available DVD lens cleaner kits that you can purchase and use to clean your DVD player. What's more, these DVD lens cleaners kits won't cost you a fortune.
