ABSTRACT
The
present
speci?cation
discloses
a
multimedia
distribution
system
and
method.
The
system
and
method
has
a
producer
Workstation,
a
delivery
server,
a
high-bandwidth
one-Way
satellite
transmission
system,
a
terrestrial
two-Way
commu
nication
system
(including
use
of
the
lntemet),
a
plurality
of
satellite
a?iliate
Workstations,
and
a
plurality
of
terrestrial
client
Workstations.
The
delivery
server receives
digital
infor
mation
(envelopes
and
associates
media
?les)
from
the
pro
ducer
Workstations
for
delivery
of
the
information
to
the
a?iliate
and
client
Workstations
addressed
in
the
envelope.
The
a?iliate
and
client
Workstations
provide

With
con?rmation
of
delivery
of each
received
enve
lope
and
its
associated
?les.
1n the
absence
of
receipt
of

of
delivery,
the
delivery
server
re-sends
the
uncon?rmed
envelope
and
associated
?les
to
the
non-con
?rming
a?iliate
or
client
Workstation
by
a
two-Way
terrestrial
connection
or

method
utilize
a
unique
envelope
and
addressing
protocol
and
a
unique
broadcast
?le
transfer
protocol
for
distribution
to
a?iliate
Workstations
by
one-Way
satellite
broadcast.
The
disclosed
system
and
method
also
make
