Abstract
An interactive multimedia system that converts media content in real-time or near-real-time from a variety of input data formats to data formats accepted by a user'"'"'s available output devices, and to output protocols that can communicate with the user'"'"'s devices. The multimedia system acquires content from remote sources and delivers it to the user. The system further supports interactive use and the generation of content by the user, as well as the purchase of media content on demand. The system receives a plurality of media source signals and a plurality of user device signals and integrates at least one of the media source signals with at least one of the user device signals to form an integrated signal. The present invention also converts the format of the media source signals and sends the integrated signal to user devices via various protocols. The system also can convert between the various protocols.
