Project Outline

Create a C++ GUI that interfaces with a video database and broadcast control equipment. The program will insure that a video is continuously playing over the closed-circuit television channel through a video-on-demand web-interactive system, as well as an autonomous control algorithm.

Several phases of the project will occur: a framework to select and play videos that can interact with the database; web-interaction with the control software; underlying algorithms to insure synchronous output from asynchronous input; a shiny new coat of paint.

This project has already been partially implemented in crude Perl, but we are abandoning the original structure in favor of a more practical software engineering methodology. The new structure will be modular and clearly organized, so that future additions will be simple to put into action.
