  • Patent number: 4797750
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting/recording a computer-generated display simultaneously with the transmission of audio and/or video signals. A computer generates a series of codes from which an image may be derived, the resolution of which is not dependent on the recording/transmission medium. These codes are supplied to a first modem through a standard RS 232 communications line. The first modem converts these codes into image-bearing audio tones. The audio tones are input in the left audio channel of a video tape recorder. Simultaneously, aural information is picked up by a microphone and input into the right audio channel of the video tape recorder. Also simultaneously, a video camera provides video signals to the video channel of the video tape recorder. After recording these signals on a video tape, the tape is transported to a second video tape recorder where it is played back.
