Description:


    Sun Microsystems, Inc. and David Sarnoff Research Center have collaborated in a DARPA-supported research program to integrate High Resolution Video (HRV) into the workstation programming environment. The HRV Workstation project involves the creation of new workstation hardware and software in order to permit the integration of digital video as a first class data type within the system. The hardware developed for the HRV Workstation provides the basic capabilities needed to acquire, store, process, transport, and display raw (i.e., uncompressed) high-resolution digital video in a robust, responsive window system environment with high-quality motion and color.
