Abstract

The invention relates to a method, transmitter equipment and receiver equipment for transmitting image information. Two or more image levels (1, 2, 3) are simultaneously transmitted to a receiver, and the user can produce desired image combinations (8) onto a display by selecting a specific image level or levels to be visible and leaving a remaining level or levels invisible. In other words, an image information transmission (25) to be transmitted, such as a multiplex in a digital television system (20) or a WWW page, is composed of two or more image levels to be transferred simultaneously and belonging to the same program or WWW page. The user may compile a customized service on the receiver display by selecting the desired image levels, i.e. transparent films, for use.
