Question of category Processing in multimedia

I am taking a multimedia course and doing a project on Processing, wondering if someone can tell me what category Processing belongs, Synchronization or Continuous media?
Thanks
Xiao

Xiao, can you please explain your terms? What do *you* mean by "synchronization" and "continuous".

Multimedia synchronization should deal with the problem of playing media from different sources or location to create a desired effect that can be perceived by the end user.
Audio and video datacommonly referred to as "continuous media"are characterized by their large data volume and continuous playback time, which typically requires storing them in a compressed form.
also, what's the different of Processing vs. Nsync and Lingo?
Thanks
Xiao

In that case Processing surely is continuous, since it is in fact a continuous process (loop() runs infinitely). However, it is not based on large volumes of (static) data being played back, but rather on a continous image or signal being *generated* in real time.
Synchronized multimedia must refer to older multimedia techniques like synchronized slide shows or synchronized sound and video playback from analog sources. This form of multimedia is more challenging than it might sound.
