ABSTRACT
The progress of digital media technology is a milestone event in the history of information storage and transmission.
Compared with the access of information storage and transmission in the past, the digital media take the digital data as
medium. It is worth paying attention to and do researches about the difference of digital media and traditional media,
how to fulfil it, the value and characteristic of it. It is the characteristic of digital media that binary data is used as the
medium of information storage and transmission, and network transmission is used to store and forward information to
realize information interaction. Through the compiler, we can convert different forms of information including text,
pictures, audio and so on into binary data, or reverse these digital types of data back to the original forms, so as to realize
the conversion of traditional information and digital media information. Digital media technology has made great
progress since its emergence. From the initial period of using telegraph to transmit information and only sending point-
and-line data to the current way of massive data transmission through the network, digital media cutting-edge
technologies: VR and AR have matured to be put into the use of civil equipment; VR glasses and other devices allow
users to run corresponding functions to provide virtual reality services, and AR technology has been widely used in
areas such as navigation enhancement and office interaction enhancement. By searching the literature, observing the
changes of data in registers and solid-state drives, using the corresponding functions to realize the input and output of
data, sending and receiving methods, analyzing the definition, implementation and development of digital media
technology.

Keywords: Digital media, Digitization, Information storage, Information transmission.
