How to Easily Move and Utilize Film Images as Data in a Real-World Video Facility

Steve Roach

This paper presents an alternative use for Standard video pipelines and transport layers. It suggests taking advantage of SMPTE 292m serial digital video connections for highspeed data transport within a traditional video environment and its subsequent use, storage and transfer with non-traditional platforms. A new transport medium for film data images is introduced. The proposal includes how data images can be viewed, stored, and processed, and how standard video connections can move the data transparently. The format is described as a video-compliant data structure with variable resolutions and aspect ratios. Existing installations are described as application examples.
