Yes. Distributed HDTV wavelet compressed video.

Here's what it will look like hanging on the wall in your living
room.

   See http://www.define.com/hdtv/2x1_with_16x9_insert.jpg

Notice the space of to the side. It can be programmed to be colored
identically to the paint on your wall, or can hold the icons for the
various annotations. (See http://crit.org/). Of course, CRIT will
need to be modified to refer to the underlying time code, and the
database will be pretty damn huge, since the language of Hollywood
will be the new post human "alien speak".

Should these little black boxes filled with dsp's and ram be
