At the fall InterOp show in San Francisco, Fore Systems demonstrated an
application very much like the one you describe.  They had (at least) one
laser disk player distributing video to DEC, SGI and Sun workstations over
100 Mbps ATM links.  You can contact Dwight Dietrich (director of market 
development).  Their address is:
	
	1000 Gamma Drive
	Suite 504
	Pittsburgh, PA  15238
	Phone: 412 967 4040

Their business is selling ATM, but they may let you know how they set up
their demonstration.
