Fletcher, M.J., Mitchell, R. J. and Minchinton, P. R. (1990) Vidibus: a low-cost, modular bus system for real-time video processing. Electronics & Communications Engineering Journal, 2 (5). pp. 195-201. ISSN 0954-0695 doi: 10.1049/ecej:19900044

Abstract/Summary

The advantages of standard bus systems have been appreciated for many years. The ability to connect only those modules required to perform a given task has both technical and commercial advantages over a system with a fixed architecture which cannot be easily expanded or updated. Although such bus standards have proliferated in the microprocessor field, a general purpose low-cost standard for digital video processing has yet to gain acceptance. The paper describes the likely requirements of such a system, and discusses three currently available commercial systems. A new bus specification known as Vidibus, developed to fulfil these requirements, is presented. Results from applications already implemented using this real-time bus system are also given.
