Abstract

A method and apparatus for playing back a sequence of images from a run of component images successively supplied in digital form by a remote source to a receiver apparatus having the function of playing back the images of the sequence at a given rate, and in which each image constitutes an independent set that is received in the form of data trains. The apparatus includes verification that each received data train and each run of trains making up a set is valid, storing the most recently received valid set, reconstituting image signals from the most recently received valid set, and a clock for locally and independently generating clock signals for triggering visual reproduction of images as a function of circumstances.
