The plasma movie database system for JT-60

The real-time plasma movie with the computer graphics (CG) of plasma shape is one of the most effective methods to know what discharge have been made in the experiment. For an easy use of the movie in the data analysis, we have developed the plasma movie database system (PMDS), which automatically records plasma movie according to the JT-60 discharge sequence, and transfers the movie files on request from the web site. The file is compressed to about 8 MB/shot small enough to be transferred within a few seconds through local area network (LAN). In this report, we describe the developed system from the technical point of view, and discuss a future plan on the basis of advancing video technology.
