Abstract

See full text

An information recording and replaying apparatus and a method of controlling the same are provided for manipulating information provided in real time and the other kind of information in a unified manner. A CG image produced by a CG producing apparatus is transferred to an AV server in the form of graphics commands and stored in disk arrays as they are. To replay a CG image, graphics commands are executed in a graphics circuit provided in the AV server to draw a graphics image. As a result, the time required for sending the CG image from the CG producing apparatus to the AV server is substantially reduced. The CG producing apparatus does not require a large-capacity storage for retaining drawn CG image data. The AV server stores the received graphics commands in the disk arrays as they are without expanding to CG image data. As a result, a large portion of the storage space of the disk arrays is not occupied.
