Abstract
In this paper I discuss some performance measurements made of the VuSystem, a programming system for the software-based processing of audio and video data. The VuSystem is designed to run on ordinary Unix workstations with no specific support for the manipulation of multimedia data. Measurements made of processing times of representative filter modules demonstrate the viability of the approach.
This research was supported by the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense, monitored by the United States Air Force (AFSC, Rome Laboratory) under contract No. F30602-92-C-0019, and by a grant from Nynex.
