ABSTRACT:
A device for interactive video playback utilizing a modified playback apparatus for video discs. Such a video disc contains stored video information and possibly also audio information. The various playback and addressing modes can be activated by operation of buttons. The information read is directly suitable for playback on a television screen. The playback apparatus is modified for executing these playback and addressing modes also under the control of selection signals received from a computer. There is also provided an extraction element for extracting the frame numbers from the information read and for supplying these numbers as data to the computer. The computer furthermore includes a read/write memory for the storage of the information of alphanumerical characters and of selection signals for the playback apparatus. In some cases, the latter signals are activatable only by a request signal. The computer also includes an output for said alphanumerical characters as additional display information. There is also provided a keyboard suitable on the one hand for inputting instructions for the computer which are expressed in a higher programming language in order to modify the program to be executed by the computer. It can also be used for producing a request signal for activating a selection signal read from the read/write memory.
