Abstract

This paper presents the problems associated with multimedia interfaces for a network environment and proposes solutions to overcome them. The applications and characteristics of multimedia are discussed to provide a good understanding of the interface requirements for such systems. Transputers are applied as the parallel processing elements in a high performance multimedia system which provides an interface between the host system and the network to cater for the wide variety of traffic loads that the multimedia systems present.
