Question 1

In reality, large enterprises seldom rely on a single Central Storage repository for their materials.

Accepted Answer

Large enterprises often have multiple storage repositories for their materials, allowing for redundancy and easier access to information.

Question 2

Tape is most often used in Archives because it is both less expensive and more robust than spinning disk drives.

Accepted Answer

Tape is a more cost-effective option for long-term storage of large amounts of data in archives, and it is also considered more durable and reliable than spinning disk drives.

Question 3

A handful of computers located close to each other is referred to as a WAN.

Accepted Answer

A WAN (Wide Area Network) refers to a network that covers a large geographical area, such as multiple cities or even countries, while a handful of computers located close to each other would be referred to as a LAN (Local Area Network).

Question 4

The USB interface has seen three major speed configurations since its development in the mid 1990's.

Accepted Answer

The three major speed configurations of the USB interface are USB 1.0/1.1, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0/3.1.

Question 5

IP stands for Internet Provider.

Accepted Answer

IP stands for Internet Protocol, not Internet Provider.

Question 6

The function makes duplicates of the material in different codecs and containers that allow each area of a facility to function based on its own requirements.&#10;A) Media asset management&#10;B) Review and screening&#10;C) Transcoding&#10;D) Playout and delivery

Accepted Answer

Transcoding is the process of converting a media file from one format or codec to another, which enables different areas of a facility to function based on their own requirements. This allows for compatibility with various devices and software, thus it is likely the best choice.

Question 7

When broadcasters are doing large remote events, such as the Super Bowl or Final Four college basketball coverage, they may lease a superfast&#10;A) IP address&#10;B) 100 megabit&#10;C) 1,000 megabits GigE&#10;D) 10 GigE

Accepted Answer

When broadcasters are doing large remote events such as the Super Bowl or Final Four college basketball coverage, they require a high-speed connection to transmit all of the data collected during the event. A 10 GigE connection provides a high-speed, reliable connection that can handle the large data transfer rates required for these events. It is the best choice out of the given options.

Question 8

By grouping hard drives together, data can be duplicated on more than one&#10;A) META&#10;B) RAID&#10;C) SATA&#10;D) SCSI

Accepted Answer

RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to be used together to improve performance or redundancy. Different RAID configurations offer different levels of redundancy, allowing data to be duplicated on multiple drives to prevent data loss in case of a drive failure.

Question 9

In computer systems, a is a large unit of storage, frequently made up of an entire disk drive or even several disk drives working together as one. Equally a single disk drive may be subdivided into several of these.

A) File
B) Folder
C) Volume
D) Edition

Accepted Answer

A volume is a large unit of storage, frequently made up of an entire disk drive or several disk drives working together as one.

Question 10

Centralized groups of hard drives, or storage systems, can be used to provide data for a variety of users simultaneously. These storage systems are&#10;A) Drivers&#10;B) Servers&#10;C) WAN&#10;D) Ethernets

Accepted Answer

Centralized groups of hard drives or storage systems are commonly referred to as servers. Servers are designed to provide data and services to multiple users simultaneously. Drivers refer to software components that allow a computer's operating system to communicate with hardware devices. WAN (Wide Area Network) refers to a network that spans a large geographic area and can be used for communication between multiple locations. Ethernet is a type of wired networking technology commonly used for local area networks (LANs).
