+== GPC1 Video Photometry Analysis ==
+
+Below is a summary of what we have and what we need to do.  Heather
+will be at Harvard next week; perhaps you and she can sit down
+together and hash out how to do the work.  Most of this is quite easy,
+and Heather has created similar processing stages in the past.  Note:
+the specific names of fields and programs given below are just my
+initial suggestions; feel free to make modifications
+
+* Chris is adding a new field to our database table (BOOL rawImfile.video)
+* Chris is also adding code to registration which will set the value
+to T or F based on the header information
+* Later on, we need a script to set the value for data already in the
+can (either by trolling all headers, or by referencing some other
+source of information)
+
+* we need a program, videoPhot, which takes as input a GPC1 chip,
+measures the photometry of the video cells according to the algorithm
+Pavlos specifies, and writes the output to a fits file (one table per
+cell?).  This program should be written using the rest of the IPP APIs
+to be long-term supportable, and could based on the ppImage (in fact,
+it could be done as a mode to ppImage, replacing the warning on
+ppImageLoop.c:88 with a call to the function that calculates the
+photometry of interest.
+
+* we need a set of tables to manage video photometry analysis:
+
+videoPhotRun, videoPhotImfile, videoPhotProcessedImfile
+
+these would be equivalent to the chipRun, chipProcessedImfile, but
+adding the intermediate table of imfiles that have video data to guide
+the processing
+
+* we need an ippTool to interact with the videoPhot
+
+videophot : this would be essentially identical to chiptool, but the
+definebyquery should populate the videoPhotImfile table with the
+video-containing cell.
+
+* we need an ippTask to manage the videophot jobs: again, essentially
+equivalent to ippTasks/chip.pro.
+
+Once those pieces are in place, it is the simple to manage the
+processing in the context of the rest of the IPP processing.
