'''Multimedia''' refers to [[content]] that uses a combination of [[different]] content [[forms]]. This [[contrasts]] with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as [[text]]-only or [[traditional]] forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, or interactivity content forms.

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 [[computer]]ized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live [[performance]]. Multimedia devices are electronic media devices used to store and [[experience]] multimedia content. Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in [[fine art]]; by including audio, for example, it has a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for [[interactive]] multimedia. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermedia Hypermedia] can be considered one particular multimedia application.

Since [[media]] is the plural of [[medium]], the term "multimedia" is used to describe multiple occurrences of only one form of media such as a collection of audio CDs. This is why it's important that the word "multimedia" is used exclusively to describe multiple forms of [[media]] and [[content]].

This is why it's important that the word "multimedia" is used exclusively to describe multiple forms of [[media]] and [[content]].

The term "multimedia" is also [[ambiguous]]. Static content (such as a paper book) may be considered multimedia if it contains both [[pictures]] and [[text]] or may be considered [[interactive]] if the user interacts by turning pages at will. [[Books]] may also be considered non-linear if the pages are accessed non-sequentially. The term "video", if not used exclusively to describe motion photography, is ambiguous in multimedia [[terminology]]. Video is often used to describe the file format, delivery format, or presentation format instead of "footage" which is used to distinguish motion photography from "animation" of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_rendering rendered motion] imagery. Multiple forms of [[information]] content are often not considered [[modern]] forms of presentation such as audio or video. Likewise, single forms of information content with single [[methods]] of information processing (e.g. non-interactive audio) are often called multimedia, perhaps to distinguish static media from active media. In the [[Fine arts]], for example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leda_Luss_Luyken Leda Luss Luyken]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ModulArt ModulArt] brings two key elements of musical [[composition]] and [[film]] into the world of [[painting]]: variation of a [[theme]] and movement of and within a picture, making ModulArt an interactive multimedia form of art. Performing arts may also be considered multimedia considering that performers and props are multiple forms of both [[content]] and [[media]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia]
