Among the things being shown are a Basys newsroom client window on
an Alpha workstation that is also accessing stills from a database, viewing
video from a video server and playing audio from an audio server. The non-linear
editor has a client-server version of Montage that is pulling video clips
from a database and using them to assemble a video. A Macintosh is keeping
track of accesses to copywritten material for audit tracking. The databases
are distributed across hard disk arrays, raid and conventional, and the
robotic terabyte optical jukebox. The operating systems are VMS, Windows
3.1, Unix and MacOS. The networking includes a serial connection to the
video server which could be configured to emulate various serial control
standards.
