Research Paper Homework: Audio/Video System
Overview:
In this homework, you will write about a hardware system configuration with technical specificity and research references.
You should be working on it throughout the course. Instructions:
You have decided that you can make good money being a YouTube sensation. You have a talent (pick one you have or make one up), and you want to create a YouTube channel with audio/video content to attract viewers. Since this will be your business, you do not want any of your personal computers to be involved, and you need to buy all the components to support your production.
I. At a minimum, research and select these components to build your YouTube business system: o System unit (specifically describe the CPU and RAM choices you made, and why)
i. Top-of-the-line video card (no on-board video for you)
ii. Minimum 4K 32" monitor
iii. External microphone (include an audio preamp/compressor)
iv. External camera
v. Lighting
vi. Operating system
vii. Storage choices to back up your video library
II. Explain what was important in making each decision about all the hardware and external devices and why you settled for the system build you chose.
III. Explain the value of the choices and how much the system will cost.
IV. Describe all the peripheral device connectors to ensure that they all work together (or include adapters, where needed).
V. Cite every component separately, with a website reference that lists all the technical specifications of the component. Use the APA style where images are included in appendices so that your finished paper contains images of each component in one or more appendix and referenced in the paper (for example, "The monitor will be an XR7-3000. See Appendix A, Figure 3. The XR7-3000 has 4K...")
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
i) The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
