DATA SERVER SYSTEM, TERMINAL EQUIPMENT AND DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: To configure the video on-demand service system inexpensively by reducing the recording capacity of data. CONSTITUTION: Only compression data (variable compression data) compression- coded at a variable rate are recorded on a recording medium 1. A control section 4 recognizes the specification of a terminal equipment which gives an access request and controls a user interface matching device 3 when the terminal equipment 8 does not correspond to variable compression data to convert the variable compression data recorded on the recording medium 1 into data compression-coded at a fixed rate and allows a channel interface 5 to send the coded data to the terminal equipment 8.
