A local video network (10) is disclosed providing digitized video clips, traditional text, graphics, and sound for creating a true multimedia experience. The system is extensible to a large number of personal computers (22) and comprises a redundant array of inexpensive disks (16) for storing the multimedia data, a media server (12) coupled to the disks (16) through an interface (14) for mapping logical data requests to physical data, a high speed link, time division multiple access (TDMA) control circuitry (20) and a plurality of workstations (22) coupled to the TDMA control circuitry (20) for interacting with the multimedia data. |
