STORAGE OF INTERACTIVE VIDEO PROGRAMMING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system by which a viewer can seamlessly switch display of a 1st video signal into display of a 2nd video signal. SOLUTION: Video signals, together with a data code used for seamless switching, are stored on an optical disk so that video signals read from the disk or a video signal read from the disk and a video signal received from other generating source can seamlessly be switched. Also a time gap is generated in each of video signals, and each time gap denotes a switching time that is used for a time for seamless switching from the video signal to the other video signal.
