Abstract

This invention relates to an arrangement for supplying audio and video signals from separate sources to a video telecommunication station. In one embodiment, the audio is supplied, for example, by a stock broker or agent, while the video is supplied by a separate source controlled by the agent. Advantageously, pre-planned video from a common source, or video from a separate camera, can be supplied to a caller along with the audio message from the agent.
