Abstract | This paper describes the design and implementation of a large scale computer terminal output controller which supervises the transfer of information from a Control Data 6400 Computer to a PLATO IV data network. It discusses the cost considerations leading to the selection of educational television channels rather than telephone lines for communication and shows that this requires an output controller as an interface between the computer and the cable television network. Details are supplied on the hardware and its operation, and design considerations are related. It is reported that the controller is debugged and is operational, and that the digital transmission system has also been tested. (PB) |
