ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 446
2. Digital television can be sent over longer distances than analog while producing a sharper picture.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 447
3. Audio file technologies are far more varied than video technologies.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 451
4. H.225, H.245, and H.450 are examples of codecs defined with the ITU H.323 standard.
ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 458
5. The higher the bandwidth, the higher the throughput.
ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 460
6. A multimedia application may be only one of the following types: unicast, broadcast, or multicast; it
cannot be a combination of these types.
ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 465
7. For some applications that require high bandwidth, network performance is improved by designing the
applications to use multicasts.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 481
8. On a legacy LAN, a significant amount of bandwidth can be gained by replacing old thinnet coax and
repeater runs with Category 5 twisted-pair cable and 100BaseTX switches.
ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 472

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 475
MODIFIED TRUE/FALSE
1. AVI is the technology used with digital television. _________________________
ANS: F, MPEG-2
PTS: 1 REF: 447
, 2. On a computer monitor or digital TV screen, interlaced means that up to 60 frames are sent per second.
_________________________
ANS: F, progressive
PTS: 1 REF: 448
3. Many audio and video technologies use sampling techniques when a signal is converted from analog to
digital. _________________________

4. Microsoft's IP/TV enables interactive conferencing for people at remote locations.
_________________________
ANS: F, NetMeeting

_________________________
ANS: F, Throughput
PTS: 1 REF: 460
6. Synchronization is most reliable when there is enough throughput for an application so that bits or
frames are not lost or delayed too long by network congestion. _________________________
ANS: F, bandwidth
PTS: 1 REF: 463
7. Unicast multimedia applications are difficult to scale up for increased numbers of users, and if there
are many users, there is high traffic volume and a need for high bandwidth.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 466
8. Multicasting on networks that use switches and no routers is entirely dependent on IGMP.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 469
9. For many LANs that deploy multimedia applications, one of the most cost-effective design methods
and reliable topologies is to combine Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
