Abstract:
An information processing device in a multi-channel data transfer network wherein said information processing device serves as a data supply side, comprising:random-accessible large capacity storage means for storing digital data of a plurality of video/audio softs, previously allocated to channels, every predetermined blocks in dispersion, wherein the stored digital data can be a combination of conventional video contents and game contents;control means having management information which indicates file names of the plural video/audio softs, recording positions in said random-accessible large capacity storage means, and allocated channel numbers, receiving a request for designating reproduction of any one data of the plural video/audio softs from an external, and designating reproduction of a data file of one video/audio soft corresponding to the request of reproduction-designated to said random-accessible large capacity storage means every time the request command is inputted; anddecoder means having a plurality of output channels simultaneously outputting video/audio soft data in parallel, registering the management information transferred from said control means, directly accessing the random-accessible large capacity storage means to intermittently read out the video/audio soft data designated by said control means from said random-accessible large capacity storage means based on the management information, every blocks in dispersion to be decoded, and thereafter continuously outputting the requested video/audio soft data in analog form from a channel of a designated number.
