Abstract: Software for audiovisual systems can be divided into two classes: linear and nonlinear. The first is intended for collective viewing over broadcast media, thus excluding individual user control over the flow and delivery of the program. The second explicitly aims at such user control, and is therefore unsuitable for broadcast purposes. Several technologies compete as delivery systems for both classes, including videodisk, videotape, film, slide projectors, and some computers. While linear software can usually run on many of these systems, nonlinear software will often run only on the replay devices for which it was originally devised. Standardization of software of this type is desirable for a variety of reasons. It is proposed to specify a high-level language to this end, along the lines of computer high-level languages. This could be used to specify programs for videodisk players and for a variety of other delivery systems.
