Abstract :
Issues addressed at three Digital Systems Information Exchange meetings, held in November 1990 and March and September 1991, are summarized. The meetings explored digital developments, looked for areas of actual or potential commonality, and examined possible common frameworks for manipulating digital images. Progress in the area of digital video standards is discussed. The three main standards concern still-picture compression, video teleconferencing, and full-motion compression on digital storage media, Products being developed using standard digital video formats are surveyed. They include multimedia products, CD players, HDTV, and receivers.<>
