- the incoming video information is compressed with a compressor COMP in a known manner and together with an entry in
- Table of contents CONT stored in the memory MEM Rarely used video information areas are conveniently stored on an external medium, e.g. a CD, cached.
- the stored video information areas VIDB are transmitted to the outstations 2 in accordance with a transmission schedule TT, which is to be entered via the console CONS, or are selected and output in accordance with one of the request information items AI coming from them.
- An internal computer clock CL is used both for processing the broadcasting schedule TT and for recording the useful life of the individual video information, such as advertising films, etc.
- a control program CTR controls the storage and output and, if necessary, removal of the video information areas VIDB by means of an input address selector SEL IN and an output address selector SEL OUT, which carry out the starting addresses and the address increments.
- the program contains an administration program ADM, which maintains statistics on the use of the various video information areas VIDB in a statistics and / or billing memory area AS, so that, possibly linked to other commercial data, a bill is created and sent to the CONS console or to the using outdoor station 2 can be printed out.
- ADM administration program
- the communication connection unit COM has one or more connections to a communication network NET and serves the respective service request of a fixed or dial-up connection on the different levels and transforms the digital picture and sound information into the respective transmission format.
- the Internet, analog telephone lines, ISDN, DSL, satellite radio, etc. can be used as networks.
- the outdoor station 2 is also based on a computer as the control device ST2, which, however, only requires a smaller memory MEM2, since only a small number of image information areas currently to be reproduced are to be kept there.
- the control device ST2 is connected to the network NET and serves this in accordance with the respective network requirement, the source and destination addresses also being transmitted in the dialing operation and the corresponding dialing, testing and security procedures being carried out.
- an image and sound reproduction device VID2 is connected to the control device ST2.
- the image information temporarily stored in the memory MEM2 is transmitted via a expanding decoder DEC prepared and formatted in the intended video format, such as PAL, NTSC or Secam, or output to the playback device via a digital monitor interface.
