X-Movie: Transmission and Presentation of Digital Movies under X

We describe a system for storing, transmitting and presenting digital lms in a computer network. The hardware used in the system is standard hardware, as found in typical workstations today; no special hardware is required. The movies are shown in a window of the X Window System. This allows full integration with the classical components of computer applications such as text, color graphics, menues and icons. The X-MOVIE system is based on color lookup table technology. We present a new algorithm for the gradual adaptation of the color lookup table during the presentation of the lm.
