<p>A workstation for use with a digital image communications network. The workstation has a data processing section and an image section. The data processing section includes a central processing unit (CPU) connected to a bus structure within the data processing section. The CPU uses the bus to communicate with a memory and a disk drive controller. Two interface modules, a communication interface module and an image controller module are also connected to the bus structure allowing the data processing section to communicate with a communications control channel and the image section. The CPU in the data processing section, via the communication module handles all communications between itself and all other nodes on the network. The image control module allows the CPU to control the receipt of images by the image section from the image channel of the images using hardware, prior to their display.</p> |
