Abstract

Multimedia implementations put severe requirements both on hardware and software developments. Treating different data coming from different sources complaining to different standard formats require hardware capabilities able to support the required performances and software API helping software developers to take fully advantage of the multimedia environment. One of the key problems is data fusion, how combining different type of data in a consistent and proper way. There are several efforts and products, in this article the Silicon Graphics´ approach is outlined and described
