Abstract
The paper describes a multi-media database browser based on a AT&T 386/SX PC with a DSP32C coprocessor. Each item in the multi-media database consists of a 512 by 480 pixel color still image and a 20 Hz to 20 kHz monophonic audio signal that can have arbitrary duration. Compressed image and audio signals are stored in a database and are retrieved through a communications channel, decoded using the DSP32C, and displayed and played. The channel could be the PC backplane, a local or wide area network, or a basic rate ISDN telecommunications link. Audio is compressed 6 1 (2.67 bits/sample at 48 lrHz sampling rate) and produces a reconstructed signal that is indistinguishable from the original when heard over a loudspeaker. Image compression is datadependent and ranges from 20:l to 5O:l (1.2 to 0.5 bits per pixel) for reconstructed images with negligible distortion.
