We're looking at the JPEG algorithm for something we're doing with image
archival on the Amiga. Unfortunately, at the data rates we are running it
would be impossible to compress in software. Luckily for us there is a
company called C-Cubed that is developing a JPEG chipset for the broadcast
industry. They claim that their chips can compress in milliseconds what
would take a 25mhz 68030 over an hour (!). C-Cubed intends to sample right
about now.
