Abstract

A user interactive video and/or audio data reproduction system such as that using data recorded on a laser readable video disc is provided with a control unit which, in response to associated programme and data and in response to user generated signals, follows a pathway through a selection tree and results in the display of video images and/or the reproduction of sounds in a manner that is determined by the user and by the programme. The control unit can be provided as a discrete unit which is attachable to and detachable from the system. The control unit can be configured so that it is functionally transparent when the source of programme and data is absent. It can thus be retained attached to the system and signalling devices such as a keypad handset can be connected to the system through the control box which acts as a serial line in such circumstances. A facility is also provided for recording the actions and timing of actions taken by the user when interactive with the system. It is convenient to use a Smartcard having either RAM or ROM capacity as the means of providing stored programme and data for use in the control unit.
