Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a video system, and more particularly to an audio-visual system that utilizes a network to transmit live video streams. [Prior Art] FIG. 1 depicts a block diagram of a conventional cable television system. The conventional cable television system 100 includes a head end 1〇2 that integrates signals from various sources, including satellite programs, #home-made programs, advertisements, and network services. Then, the headend 102 will modulate these signals into fixed ship signals' and combine these signals to be transmitted on the trunk line (Tnmk) 1〇4. Then, the main line just transmits the channel output from the head end 1〇2 over a long distance. The main lines of the knowing are laid at a relatively large diameter (four) (four), but the coaxial reliance on the long-distance transmission is greater. Therefore, in order to achieve the lowest distortion transmission effect, the current main line 104 is mostly realized by using an optical fiber. In addition, on the main line, the heartbeat will reach one, and the network will be 1〇6. Since the allocation of bribes is already in the latter part of the overall network, the m of the signal is not as strict as the line 1()4. Therefore, the distribution network 1G6 is usually laid with a coaxial coaxial double. The distribution network 1G6 can be connected to multiple clients 1G8. Each of the client terminals includes at least a user host, such as 112, 114, and 116. The user hosts 112, 114, and 116 are mostly Ray Phase " With this 201210321 user host 112, 114 and 116, the system can view the instant video and audio information provided by the head end 1〇2. In addition, when the user uses the conventional user hosts 112, 114 and 116 to watch the program, if the user wants to know the audio and video content of two or more different channels at the same time, it is necessary to continuously switch channels, which is very inconvenient. . This is due to the fact that in the conventional user hosts 112, 114 and 116, there is usually only one demodulator (Tuner) to demodulate the channel signals transmitted by the distribution network 1〇6. Since a demodulator can only demodulate one channel signal, in some conventional user hosts 112, 114 and 116, more than two demodulators are configured and the user is allowed to face the mother and child. Ways to watch audio and video content above two channels. However, this increases the hardware cost of the user's host. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides an interactive video and audio system that allows a user to view multiple instant video and audio messages using a conventional user host. The present invention also provides an audio-visual playback system that can provide a plurality of instant video and audio messages to a user. The invention further provides a video and audio playing method, which allows a user to simultaneously view a plurality of instant video and audio messages. The invention provides an interactive video and audio system, including a regional network, a plurality of user hosts, a plurality of instant video and audio sources, and a broadcast (four) system. The regional network is connected to the user host and _ to play (10). The playback system consumes instant audio and video information sources, and each instant video source 201210321 provides at least one instant audio and video message to the playback system. The playback system converts these instant video messages into multiple video streams. In addition, the playback system will send the video stream signals to the corresponding user host through the regional network in response to a request sent by one of the user hosts through the local area network, and in multiple sub-frames. To display these instant video messages at the same time. When one of the sub-surfaces is selected, the related information of the instant video message corresponding to the selected sub-surface is displayed on the corresponding user host. , . In this embodiment, the instant video source includes a plurality of video players, a plurality of demodulators, and/or a plurality of video playback devices. In addition, the user host includes a computer device and a mobile device. From another point of view, the present invention also provides an audio-visual playback system, which can be applied to a plurality of instant video source sources and a multi-user host 4 on a regional network.
