%X The occam\-pi language provides many novel features for
concurrent software development. This paper describes a
video processing framework that explores the use of these
features for multimedia applications. Processes are used to
encapsulate operations on video and audio streams; mobile
data types are used to transfer data between them
efficiently, and mobile channels allow the process network
to be dynamically reconfigured at runtime. We present
demonstration applications including an interactive video
player. Preliminary benchmarks show that the framework has
comparable overhead to multimedia systems programmed using
traditional methods.
