I am going to have to agree with those who disapprove of the 'haxor' who designed this virus...knocking the MVA out might not be such a big deal but it has infected the computers of at least one police agency. Any messing around with the computers of a police agency can cause safety and property to be put into danger. NOT cool.
I worked on a High-Speed Video digital video system for Kay Elemetrics Corp. about a year or 2 ago. We used a camera system from Redlake Imaging. that allowed us to capture black and white images at 2000 frames per second. Resolution was limited to something like 160x120 but clarity was pretty good. We put a lens and an endoscope on the end of the camera and use it with a xenon light source to view movement of the larynx. It's good enough to caputre them in real time but total recording time was about 2 seconds. The images were dumped down a high-speed link to Redlake's PCI board with some ultra-high speed and ultra-expensive RAM onboard. After capture the images were slowly loaded down to the computer for storage as an AVI. The system sells for around 50,000 dollars (U.S.). As people have mentioned, the problems are the exreme transfer rates necessary and the huge storage requriements. For our puproses, compression is not a solution because the medical community will not tolerate any loss of image quality.
