Abstract
We have proposed a new generation Video Server for broadcasting station. The server have three new concepts; "media free", "video format free", "compression bit rate free". The 1^<st> free means that both hard disks and IC memories are available as storage media of the server. The 2^<nd> free means that the server is utilized as a HDTV Video Server as well as a SDTV Video Server. The 3^<rd> free means that this server can select a different compression bit rate for each stored picture.
