You aren't having a go at me are you?

Cause the only thing I did with "video" and prior to that was the ability 
to stream 1024x768 computer images across 9600 bps links at high enough 
speed so that the screen refresh time wasn't "lagging"

Unfortunately no one at the time was interested in the idea of Windows 
Graphical screens being transferred at high speed over modems allowing 
remote control of Win 3.11 workstations via a modem, mouse and keyboard and 
XT on the remote end.

Strangely most people weren't using Windows at the time and no one thought 
it would take off.

<sigh>

BTW, my protocol was packaged into an IP packet with a UDP control 
stream.  I later managed to get it to work with TCP, but it seemed less 
efficient.  Sometimes a few missing packets of data didn't affect your 
ability to use the screen information, and it was as simple as selecting an 
area that required refresh and double clicking.

I actually used this system over UHF CB radio :)

Anyway, not relevant so much today.
