I've been sitting here looking this over a while now, trying to figure what 
it does, and finally rendered something to check it out here.

I put jitter 0.5 confidence 0.9999 variance 0 into the media statements and 
used samples 200. It looks smooth to me, no AA done for the render itself, 
aside from my sloppy test image map. I also multiplied a color_map gradient 
z to get the fading out effect, as was suggested.

Does seem likely that more could be done to manipulate this and vary the way 
the media appears. At first, I couldn't help thinking how a HF could already 
be used to do what was shown until I got the idea behind it.
