多媒体技术的关键在于解决动态图像和声音的存储与传输问题。若不经压缩，以　VGA640×480点阵存储一幅256色的彩色图像大约需(56)MB存储空间，以9600bit/s的速度传输这幅图像大约需(57)秒，按我国电视PAL标准每秒25幅，一张650MB的光盘可容纳约(58)秒的这样图像画面，播放时传送速率应不低于每秒(59)MB。模拟声音数字化存放是通过采样和量化实现的，若采样频率44.1kHz，每个样本16位，存放一分钟双声道的声音约占(60)MB存储空间。

The　"main　storage"　normally　means　that　part　of　internal　storage　into　which　instructions　and　other　data　must　be　loaded　for　subsequent　execution　or　processing.　In　large　computing　systems,　the　term　"main　storage"　is(71) to　"memory".　"Buffer"　mainly　indicates　a　special-purpose　storage　or　storage　area　allowing,　through(72) storage,　the　data　transfer　between　two　functional　units　having　different　transfer　characteristics.　A　buffer　storage　is　used　between　non-synchronized　devices　or　where　one　is(73) and　the　other　is　parallel　or　between　those　having　different　trans　far　rates.　"(74) (memory)"　is　also　a　special-purpose　buffer　storage,　smaller　and　faster　than　main　storage,　used　to　hold　a　copy　of　instructions　and　data　obtained　from　main　storage　and　likely　to　be　needed　next　by　the　processor.　"Register"　is　commonly　composed　of　a　part　of　internal　storage　having　a　specified　storage(75) and　usually　intended　for　a　specific　purpose.
