Note that (1.5 megabit/second) Digital Video supports:
  • Collaboration with real-time video of participants
  • Simulation where you are transmitting video animation produced either in batch mode or in real-time by computer
  • Geographical Information System where you transmit rendered 3 dimensional terrain -- here and above can reduce transmission by transmitting VRML based vector representation of video -- not pixels
  • As well as text-indexed video clips selected from expected 100,000 hour (about 70 terabyte) digital archive
