I am looking for information from anyone who has experience interfacing
a transputer network to some type of image digitizer for near real-time
computation.

The problem, of course, is that your average TV camera outputs data
at the rate of about 8 megabytes/sec when digitized.  Here at the
Laboratory for Computational Vision, we already have Datacube image
processing equipment that can digitize and do local processing on
this data at video rates.  However, for higher-level processing the
data must be transferred over a VME bus at far slower rates.  Has
anyone looked at parallel input to transputers from a MAXBUS or
other video data source?   Are there general high-speed IO solutions
for transputers?  Any information appreciated.
