Abstract
Abstract A video system that avoids disruption of a displayed scene. A scene from a first data stream is held on a display while a second scene from a second data stream is being built up. A first embodiment includes a transition memory for holding the first scene and a frame memory for building up the second scene. Once the second scene is built up, it is displayed. A second embodiment includes a memory in which the first scene is held and displayed on the display while the second scene is also being built up in the memory.
