Multiple-access moving picture information system (MAMI)

A prototype system based on a multiple-access concept for moving pictures is presented. This system, multiple-access moving picture information system (MAMI-I), is expected to play a key role in the development of a commercial system that will provide visual database service or on-demand moving picture service. Key technologies for MAMI are discussed. Performance results obtained with a MAMI prototype and most of its practical applications are described.<>
