Abstract:
High-resolution full-motion color video presents scientists with an unprecedented opportunity to fully visualize the results of their analyses or simulations to better understand the processes involved. Today's high-powered rendering and recording systems are capable of producing video with a resolution of 4096x3072, 32-bit color, and at 26 fps. Existing tiled displays are being used to show such media. Such a video stream produces approximately 10Gbps of raw data - faster than can be retrieved from conventional storage systems. When combined with the need to view the video at a distant location distant, the demands placed on the network are enormous. Current systems address these issues by using pre-storage lossy compression algorithms to reduce the demands on both these systems at the expense of detail that may prove critical to the scientist. We propose the construction of a system to stream stored media at full non-compressed resolution to a portable display system.
