Abstract: A system and method for assembling or generating content addressable video based on storing a plurality of frames of video data at addressable storage locations. Each frame of video data is stored with a tag which indicates the contents of the video image defined by the associated frame. For assembly, a processing unit assembles a content video image in response to the tags; the content video image, including positions for corresponding frames of video data. Finally, a means, such as a look up table, is provided for associating the positions in the content video image with addresses of storage location storing the corresponding frames of video data. A user input device is provided by which the user selects a particular frame of video data, by selecting a position in the content video image, such as by positioning a cursor on the selected position.For generating content addressable video, the content video image is first generated.

Abstract: An interactive video display system with tight coupling between user-input and the images displayed to provide a feeling of real control by the user. A library of frames of video data is stored in randomly accessible data locations, such as an optical video disc. The video data in each frame in the library is assigned a virtual position in a pre-defined data space, such that the visual image in each frame is related to visual images in other frames by virtual position in the data space. User input is provided through track ball or mouse generating displacement signals. The input signal is translated to an updated virtual position in the data space relative to a previous virtual position and the next frame having the updated virtual position is displayed next.
