Antiope (teletext)

Antiope was a French teletext standard in the 1980's. Work on it started in 1975. The nice-sounding term allegedly stood for Acquisition Numérique et Télévisualisation d'Images Organisées en Pages d'Écriture which could be loosely translated as Digital Acquisition and Remote Visualization of Images Organized into Written Pages. Antiope had a redefinable character set, so it allowed pretty rich displays.

Antiope has been replaced by the European teletext, which was based on Ceefax. The replacement occurred before 1991 on France 2 and France 3 and around 1992 on TF1. Antiope vanished before teletext became popular in France.
