Description:	JPEG compression engine. C-Cube's CL550 VLSI chip was able to compress video with image quality comparable to that of VHS tape. Its adoption by both companies launched the nonlinear offline-editing revolution. Subsequent advances, by C-Cube and others, have given nonlinear systems the ability to produce very high-quality video--and, in the process, changed the face of post-production.
