ABSTRACT:
A system broadcasts videotext data in the form of data packets originating from numerical data coming from several paths. Each packet has a prefix which contains synchronization and path identification code signals, a format signal which indicates the length of the data which follow the prefix. The transmitting station has as many coupling devices as there are paths for originating data. The coupling device has a data memory coupled to drive to a multiplexing circuit under the control of a common governing circuit. An inhibition order is given either as soon as the memory is full, or as soon as a counter has reached a pre-determined count. Then, the memory is connected to the multiplexing circuit, into which the stored data is emptied. The system is characterized in that a small capacity buffer is used between the memory and the input circuit for reading data out of the buffer memory responsive to a programmer. A transcoder treats the broadcast data to fit it into the system format.
