Summary
"The Multimedia Internet is a user-friendly technical introduction to the three foundation areas for multimedia applications across the Internet: communications (principles, technologies and networking), compressive encoding of digital media; and Internet protocols and services. All the contributing systems elements are explained through descriptive text, numerous illustrations, and many definitions of acronyms and terms; the result is a book useful to both technically sophisticated and technically naive readers looking for descriptive tutorial introductions to these fields."--BOOK JACKET.
