International ClassH04N 007/14AbstractA method of using a programmed data processor to operate a video information selection system wherein a viewer can select video information to be displayed on a common channel of the television monitors of all viewers. The viewer accesses the data processor by use of a telephone keypad and selects video information to be broadcast by inputting a digital code. The data processor processes the signal generated, retrieves the video information from memory and places it on queue to be broadcast. A plurality of such slave video information selection systems can be remotely controlled, monitored and operated by a host programmed data processor at a location remote from the slave video information selection systems.Other References
