- The InTOUCH TV product consists of three subsystems. The Video Encoding and
- Transport System (or VETS) subsystem is responsible for encoding prerecorded
- or live video programming with VEIL (Video Encoding of Invisible Light), an
- Interactive Systems, Inc. patented method of sending digital information along
- with TV programming. The video programming then gets played by network or
- cable television operators. The second subsystem, the In-Home Unit (IHU)
- receives the video signal and interprets the VEIL. Custom interactive TV
- applications such as home shopping, home banking, interactive game playing,
- polling and coupons exist in the IHU and let the home viewer play along or
- interact with the TV programming. The final subsystem, the Call Processing
- Center (CPC) interacts with the IHU via a modem. The CPC provides on-line
- transaction processing and database services. The CPC subsystem is also
- connected to the VETS subsystem for near instantaneous feedback.
