Abstract :
A video coder/decoder based on a Transputer network has been investigated. Two algorithms (H.261 and Subband coding) have been implemented. The research has confirmed both advantages (eficiency, flexibility and modularity) and limitations due to insuficient computation power. These could be overcome by Transputer modules equipped with coprocessors and including computation bound techniques into the coding algorithms.
