Input/Output and CreativeHealer Entertainment

For the movie/photo industry, quality is very important. Not only do you need people who know how to use the equipment and be able to create their vision onto the screen, you need good equipment. That's why megapixels are very important when choosing equipment, and the use of RFID codes are important to CreativeHealer Entertainment.

The term 'pixel' is generally used to described the quality of an image or piece of photography and digital equipment. Digital cameras are measured in megapixels, which is millions of pixels. The higher the megapixels, the higher quality the image. Since most projects that CHE will make will be done digitally, megapixels are very important in both video and still images. When doing still photography it is important to pay attention to the megapixels when both shooting the picture and printing the picture. When printing, the megapixels translate to how big an image I can print depending on the dots per inch (DPI) of the printer. Let's say the printer can do 300 DPI. I then take the pixel resolution of my camera, let's say it's an 16 megapixel camera, so the pixel resolution is 4920 x 3264, and divide each number by 300. This then tells me that I can print 16.40" x 10.88" photo.

In order to be as organized as possible with the equipment used by CHE, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology will be used. RFID technology is a system used to transmit the identity of an object using radio waves. All the equipment will be stored in a warehouse, and all of it will be given an RFID tags. An RFID tag has a microchip in which the information is stored. Depending on cost, it still has to be decided which tags will be used - passive or active. These tags will then be read by an RFID reader, which will let the CHE staff know which equipment is being used and which is still in the warehouse. Because of the cost of the film and music equipment and the cost of RFID readers and tags, this technology will not be needed by CHE until CHE has a sufficient amount of revenue to spend on extra equipment. It is highly possible that CHE will never use this technology because it will never have excess equipment, but it is still a possibility.
