7 CHAPTER INPUT AND OUTPUT
Competencies • Define input • Describe keyboard entry, pointing devices, & scanning devices • Discuss image capturing devices, digitizing devices, & audio input devices
Competenciescont. • Define output • Describe monitors, printers, and audio output devices • Discuss combination input & output devices
What is Input? • Any data or instructions used by a computer • Input devices( are hardware use to translate word, sound, images, and actions that people understand into a form that the system unit can process. • Hardware • Keyboards • Mice • Scanners • Other devices
Keyboard Entry • Keyboards • Traditional keyboards • Flexible keyboards (easy packing or storage) • Ergonomic keyboards (palm rest is provided) • Wireless keyboards( transmit input to the system unit through the air) • PDA keyboards • Features • Typewriter keyboard with numeric pad • Special purpose keys • Toggle and combination keys (caps.
Flexible keyboards Ergonomickeyboards Wireless keyboards PDA keyboards
Pointing Devices • Mouse • Mechanical • Optical (use light to detect mouse movement) • Cordless or wireless Use radio waves or infrared to communicate with the system • Joystick (used for computer games) • Touch Screen ( clear plastic outer layer. Behind this layer are crisscrossed invisible beams of IR light- used in restaurant and ATM) • Light Pen ( light sensitive pen- edit digital images)
Mechanical Mouse Optical Mouse Wireless Mouse Joystick Touch Screen
Scanning DevicesConvert scanned text and images into a form that the system unit can process 1- Optical scanners: recognize light, dark and colored area • Flatbed ( like a copy machine- • Portable (handheld device) 2- Bar code readers: • handheld wand reader or platform • Used in grocery stores. • Contain photoelectric cells that scan or read bar codes. • Universal product code.(UPC)
Scanning Devices 3- Character and mark recognition devices • Scanners that recognize special characters & marks • Magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) Used in bank to read unusual numbers on the bottom of the checks • Optical-character recognition (OCR) Preprinted character that can be read by a light source • Optical-mark recognition (OMR) Score multiple-choice
Optical flatbed Optical Portable : Up to 1000 pages of scanned text can be stored in the pen and transferred to PC, MICR Bar code reader OMR
Image Capturing Devices • Digital camera • Images recorded digitally on a disk • Images can be downloaded to a computer • Digital video camera • Records motion digitally • Can take still images as well • WebCams • Specialized digital video cameras • Broadcast images over the Internet
Digitizing Devicesconvert a sketch or figure into a form that can be processed by a computer • Graphics Tabletsuse special graphic surface and special stylus or pen-like device • Digital Notepads Use regular notepad and pen
Audio Input Devices convert sound into a form that can be processed by the system unit. • Voice • Voice recognition systems Use a microphone, a sound card and special software. Two types of voice recognition: • Discrete-speech recognition systems • Are able to recognize individual words based on their sound. • Can not distinguish between same-sound words like there, their • Continuous-speech recognition system • Can distinguish between same-sound words like there, their • Music • Musical Interface Digital Interface (MIDI) Allow musical instruments to connect to the system unit using MIDI ports
What is Output? • Processed data or information • Types of output • Text • Graphics • Audio & video • Output devices Are any hardware used to provide or create output from the computer. They translate information that has been processed by the system unit into a form that human can understand. • Monitors • Printers
Monitors • Known as screens or display screens • Output referred to as soft copy • Features • Resolution • Images are formed on a monitor by a series of dots or pixels( picture elements) . • Resolution is expressed as a matrix of dots or pixels (1280cx1024R) • The higher a monitor’s resolution (the more pixels). • Dot pitch: • Is the distance between each pixel. • Monitors have a dot distance of 3.1 mm. • The lower the dot pitch the higher the clarity of images produced.
Cont • Refresh rate • Indicates how often a displayed image is updated or refresh. • Most monitors operate at 75 Hz, the monitor updated 75 times each second. • The faster the refresh rate the better the quality of images. • Size • Measured by the diagonal length of a monitor’s viewing area. • The smaller the monitor the better the quality of images displayed.
More on Monitors • Cathode-ray tube or CRTs • Flat-panel • Liquid crystal display (LCD) • Portable and thinner than CRTs • Other monitors • E-books • Data projectors • High-definition television (HDTV)
Cathode ray tube Flat panel
E-book reader Data projector HDTV
Printers • Translates information that has been processed by the system unit. • Output referred to as hard copy • Features • Resolution Measured in dpi, the higher the dpi the better the quality of image produced • Color capability : black ink or color • Speed: Measured in the number of pages printed per minute • Memory: used to store printing instructions and documents waiting to be printed.
Printers • Ink-jet printer Spray ink at high speed onto the surface of paper • Laser printer • Personal laser printers • Shared laser printers • Thermal printer • Other printers • Dot-matrix • Plotters • Photo printers
Dot-matrix printer Laser printer Ink-jet printer Thermal printer plotter
Audio Output Devices • Translates audio information into sounds that people can understand • Common devices • Speakers • Headphones
Combination Input and Output Devices • Fax machines Device for sending and receiving images over telephone line • Multifunction devices Combine the capabilities pf scanner, printer, fax and copying machine. • Internet telephones • Telephony • Voice-over IP (VoIP) Specialized I/O device for receiving and sending voice communication over computer networks and internet.
FAX machine Internet telephone MFD
Terminals • An input and output device that connects you to a mainframe or other type of computer called server Types of terminals • Dumb terminal It cant process date used onlty to gain access to information from a computer( airline reservations) • Intelligent terminal : process data • Network terminal: no hard-disk • Internet terminal: access internet without a microcomputer
A Look to the FutureNeural Signals Inc. • Brain machine interface • Allows humans to control machines with their thoughts • Individuals incapable of communication • Physically immobile people
HW3 • Explain ( definition, picture, details) about two devices one for entry(I/P device) and another for Exit( O/P device) that had not been mentioned in this chapter. Last date: next week 3rd January Class test : Next lecture
