DVI Directories

These directories contain files created in connection with our
work at VPI&SU as a beta test site and as a developer using
DVI (Digital Video Interactive (tm) Intel Corp.).  See the
readme files in each directory.  You will need a Pro750 or
similar DVI system to be able to examine these files, which
are all

The idea is that you can play back these images but need permission to
do anything else with them.

Directories av and img deal with the DVI application developed at
VPI&SU through funding from NCR Corp. and the Virginia Center for
Innovative Technology.  The av files are full-motion video of NCR
product demonstrations and segments about VPI&SU.  The img files are
stills used during user interaction with the simulated TV and CD
players shown.  The NCR Product Theatre video is Copyright (c) 1989
NCR Corporation.  All other video and image sequences are Copyright
(c) 1989 VPI&SU.

Directory archtake has 72 different takes of a still image of the
Parthenon captured from the VPI&SU architecture videodisc.  It has
files to allow playback with different resolutions and different
filtering using both 9 bits (files take1 - take 36) and 16 bits per
pixel(files take37 - take72).

Directory archimgs has 66 different images taken from different parts
of that videodisc to show architecture from around the world.  All
images were captured at 512x480 using 9 bits per pixel.

Directories archcom0 and archcom1 have the 72 different takes of 
the still image of the Parthenon taken from the VPI&SU architecture 
videodisc but in compressed form, using either 9 or 16 bits per pixel.
