Abstract
A method of transmitting news data with script can simultaneously transmit video information and corresponding added information such as gathered news information to a news center from a news gathering field by use of an existing news transmission system. Digital video data, obtained by a video camera in a field, is timebase-compressed, and digital audio data is prepared on the basis of an audio signal. Added information such as script information is prepared as digital added information, and composite news data is generated by time-division-mixing these video data, audio data, and added information data. The composite news data is transmitted to a video receiving station by use of a news gathering system. In the video receiving station, the composite news data is time-division-distributed, and the time-division-distributed data is timebase-expanded, and combined with time-division-distributed audio data thereby to generate a video image signal. Simultaneously, a script, which is a broadcasting script, is generated from the time-division-distributed added information data.
