ELECTRONIC INFORMATION SERVICES There are two kinds of electronic information services that can generally be displayed on television screens: teletex and viewdata. The name teletex is the general name for one-way information services transmitted as part of a television signal by broadcast or by cable. (It has no connection with telex). The teletex signal is carried on a few spare lines at the top of the normal picture; the patterns can sometimes be seen on a badly adjusted television set, but normally they are above the picture and do not disturb it in any way. It is a digital signal, decoded by special circuits built into the special teletex set and ignored by other television receivers. The broadcasting organizations provide teletex as a supplementary service, and it is freely available to anyone who has the equipment to receive it. The complete "magazine" of perhaps a hundred pages is broadcast continuously in an endless cycle, each page taking a fraction of a second to transmit. Users of teletex can choose to see teletex pages in place of or as well as broadcast programmes at the touch of a button, usually on a hand-held remote control keypad. |
