It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus of and a method of incorporating a CM or promotion video program or the like in a video program in an NVOD system. The NVOD system has control means, high-speed digital reproducing means for reproducing at a high rate a plurality of video-on-demand system recording data divided from digital data of a main program and recorded at discrete areas, an additional information program data server for reproducing data of an additional information program such as data of a CM video program, a promotion video program, or like, buffer means for selectively writing the video-on-demand system recording data from said high-speed digital reproducing means and reading the video-on-demand system recording data, and matrix switcher means for selectively outputting main program data from said buffer means and additional information data from said additional information program data server, and sequentially transmitting the main program data with the additional information data incorporating therein in a plurality of channels. The NVOD system can incorporate a CM video program, a promotion video program, or like into a video movie, and can easily update a CM video program, a promotion video program, or like. <IMAGE> |
