Overview:
This paper describes an experiment in which compressed video data is transformed via Ethernet to a workstation, and uncompressed and displayed on the workstation. The workstation has no special hardware. The video data is 192x114 pixel gray scale, 30 frames per second. The data consists of a human speaker with a static background. It is displayed on monochrome display, with dithering, in a 768x576 rectangle. This decompression and display uses about 10 MIPS. The quality of output is suitable for applications such as conferencing, telephony, and presentations.
