HISTORY OF MULTIMEDIA IN INDONESIA OR IN THE WORLD

In early 1993, Satelindo is the first private company jump on the satellite services business by launching Palapa C1.Palapa C1 and C2 will last up to 14 years old.These satellites have been used extensively by several countries in ASEAN.Indonesia, among others, use it for communication services managed by Telkom and Indosat, as well as for television broadcast service 5 private TV and TVRI.Even used for a 5-channel direct broadcast satellite TV Indovision (Direct Broadcasting Satellite) which is now digital-quality (19 channels).Even the middle of November, PT.Media Citra Indostar has CAKRAWARTA-1 satellite launched to replace the Palapa C2 satellite work in the airing broadcasts Indovision.With this satellite service Indovision future will hold what could be called interactive services, because it will be available among other teleconference services, Video on Demand (VoD), home shopping, home banking and data communications (Internet).There are two other new multimedia company that will soon operate a fiber optic cable networks, namely PT Indonusa Telemedia and Multimedia Nusantara.Other multimedia companies are: PT Multi Media Asia Indonesia, PT Yasawirya Tama Notices.So that Indonesia may have entered the era now called the multimedia industry
Although multimedia services have been operated in Indonesia, but the terminology of their own multimedia yet familiar with the people of Indonesia.Multimedia is more familiar understood as a technological achievement in personal computers (PCs).If a so-called multimedia PC, the PC does have the ability to display moving pictures and sound, for example of the Video Compact Disc, Compact Disc Audio, and able to communicate between computers or computer network via a modem.
Though multimedia has a broader meaning.Multimedia is the integration of information technology (eg computers) and communications technology (eg coaxial cable network or satellite).When separated according to the etymology of the word multimedia and multi-media.Multi means varied, while the media is a means of information delivery.
Meanwhile, according to Revelation Wijayadi in a paper at a seminar organized by Indosat, entitled''Development of Multimedia Technology and its Implementation'', multimedia consists of (1) elements of sound, (2) elements of a picture or video, (3) elements of the text / data, (4).integrated in a single medium for the delivery, (5).Interactive / not a one-way information.While the types of multimedia services consist of two, which is a stand alone (stand alone / off line), and connected with the telecommunications network (network-online).
Many new developments after the launch of the Palapa C1 & C2 a few years ago.Ditaburkannya such as communication satellites in the sky to Indonesia by foreign companies in Indonesia where many businessmen involved in the ownership of shares in it, among which are PT.Bakri Communication Corporation in Irridium Project, a satellite phone world to solve the problem of blank spots on ordinary mobile phones, AMPS or GSM.Indosat also entered into a consortium of investors in ICO Global Communications (ICO-GC), a satellite phone after Irridium.
While in other parts of the world, Microsoft with several companies in the industry also has penetrated the other satellite communication services, such as internet, video conferencing or video on demand.The project is known today is CyberStar or "Internet in Space" that may be providing services in Indonesia.
In addition to politics, too, turned out to businesses to develop multimedia in Indonesia.Since the election a few months ago PT.Telkom hope no one else in Indonesia districts that can not be reached by telephone with satellite technology VSAT (very small aperture terminal).Unfortunately the facilities already owned was not functioning at the time of famine and forest fires in Indonesia.For some reason ....
SOURCES OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE
To anticipate the coming of this era, I present this homepage, contains a collection of information on multimedia developments in Indonesia and in the world in general this homepage can be called the only one that specifically talks about multimedia.On the homepage there are many links to sites related to multimedia, so it can be relied upon for those who want to see the development of multimedia from time to time.
Article or articles about multimedia admittedly very rare, even in big newspapers like Kompas, Republika and Voice Reform.In fact we do not have a magazine or periodical specifically presents the development of the multimedia industry in Indonesia, such as those published in other states.Yet the news about the multimedia business activities often arise.It describes the rampant growth of multimedia business in Indonesia.Apparently this area is less intellectually ogled by academics.Or conversely means the akademisinya already plunged directly into multimedia practitioners in multimedia companies and did not get to share this knowledge to the public.Sharing Though the development of multimedia information to the public will stimulate the development of the multimedia industry.
The share ENTREPRENEURS
If what Peter Gontha've done so far, namely to develop multimedia plunge in Indonesia, followed by many other businessmen of course we can hope that the era of information in Indonesia can be more quickly approached.Although the Indonesian government does not like the Government of Malaysia has launched a national program in particular, the Multimedia Super Corridor, it is enough to have Peter Gontha Indonesia, Abu Rizal Bakri, Youk Tansil and even Sudwikatmono (without reducing my respect to people who actively developing multimedia in Indosatand Telkom) as a multimedia pioneer and fighter development in Indonesia.So that we can optimistic that Indonesia's future will be better than now.Since that time all people can achieve either one side of the multimedia that provide equal opportunity for everyone to educate themselves through providing access to the information-access area of ​​the sky as one of the places where the multimedia infrastructure is placed.
Indeed, I must say that all current multimedia services are not always profitable business.An example is the satellite television service Indovision as one of multimedia services.This business in Indonesia is less sharpening marketing strength, so the service becomes very exclusive Indovision.There are a million satellite dishes scattered across Indonesia are expected to switch to Indovision at the launch of the first Indovision.Meanwhile, the behavior of viewers at that time not familiar with the habit of pay TV broadcasts and events that are 100% foreign (English only).Indovision until now still need more on efforts to get as many customers as hoped.Although Indovision customer growth is relatively slow, but Indovision has opened the way for other Pay TV companies to get involved in this industry.So that other companies will be more easily enter the market that has been formed to receive pay TV broadcasts and foreign programs, whatever the system and its technology.
MULTIMEDIA AND HUMAN CIVILIZATION
Ten years ago the needs of the telecommunications equipment such as telephones do not like now, especially in big cities.As more and more jammed streets and seem increasingly shorter time, communication by telephone becomes an inevitable requirement to remain fluent in performing daily activities.Whereas ten years ago that few are aware that the phone is an absolute necessity in the next 10 years in the big cities.Similarly, the existence of the Personal Computer (PC) is now like audio equipment or a color TV systems in homes in 10 years ago.Or now needs access to the Internet for offices in order to not cut off from the trend of the field that they do and to get an e-mail service which began to replace the fax machine.Slowly but surely interractive data communication services such as Internet history it will repeat the same for phone or PC several years ago.It is already apparent from the efforts that have been done to develop this service.An example is the WEB TV that has now been marketed.WEB TV is the internet service through the TV rather than via a PC.By adding some additional equipment, modems, remote control or keyboard and connected by telephone line or microwave antenna / satellite TV then be used to as a display monitor to surf the worldwide information network of the Internet.Imagine that moment in which the mother-housewife scoured the internet to shop for fashion, food, travel services, weather forecasts and even others.There will also be unfolding everywhere efforts are partly based home run by housewives, such as computer services, buying and selling goods, graphic design, architecture, health, counseling, child care which can be controlled through a network of multimedia and others.
Multimedia developments in recent years has spawned a timid question, namely what happens to the restrictions on access to information and freedom of expression is first applied?Must diakkui, slowly, the glow of the progress of multimedia technology, especially from 5 private TV broadcast has mempurukkan restrictions.So the next question is: where are the development of multimedia the next 5 years?Or: where are the direction of human civilization?The answer will probably depend on where we are directing.
HUMAN RESOURCES TO SUPPORT MULTIMEDIA INDUSTRY
The development of such a rapid multimedia industry should be supported by the availability of human resources in Indonesia is competitive, so it is not soft land invaded by foreign workers who have too much to break out in Indonesia.Falls in the field of multimedia technology is a new profession that is needed at the present and future.Strong imagination is required in this field to be able to imagine, seeing the potential, creating what is not unimaginable by most people today.
Business development of the multimedia industry in Indonesia needs more people like that to prepare the way towards a new human civilization in the future.They are not only the conglomerates are easy for him to plunge into any industry.But without the support of qualified human resources, what is meant
