PLAYER OF VIDEO IMAGE PRESENTATIONS TO SUBSCRIBERS IN A DIGITAL INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The presentation player 54 is used in a digital interactive communication system, accessible to a multiplicity of subscribers who can choose from a multiplicity of prerecorded video / audio presentations to watch on their television set. It comprises a converter 66 which is tuned on a channel, for monitoring a stream of digital information containing packets of digital bits representative of the video / audio presentations chosen by the subscribers. These digital bit packets contain an address assigned to the particular requesting subscriber and processed by a control unit 64 which distributes the digital bit information packet to one of several subscriber servers 62 housed in the presentation player. .
