3259.0. "Nestor Football Demot" by FORTSC::GAVIN (paul gavin) Mon Aug 27 1990 10:18

	I saw a demo at Decworld of a display of 2 - 3 minutes of a football
video which had been digitized and then stored on magnetic disk using some kind 
of compression algorithm. 
	I would like some more details on this algorithm and it's availability
can anyone help ???

    I guess I should clarify the 'ownership' of the football demo:
    The demo you saw at DECworld is called SMP (Software Motion Pictures).
    It has been developed by on of my colleagues, Burkhard Neidecker-Lutz
    here at the CEC (Campus-based Engineering Centre) in Karlsruhe, West
    Germany. 
    If you need/want more info about the compression algorithm he uses
    you should contact him:
    
    	NESTVX::NEIDECK or [email protected]
    
    Dave Wecker integrated SMP into his DIDDLY demo.
