We present an interactive visualization, called Table Of Video Contents (TOVC), for browsing structured TV programs such as news, magazines or sports. In these telecasts, getting a good segmentation can be very time-consuming, especially in an annotating context. This visualization, connected with a classical media player, offers a very handy video browser. This system allows a global overview by showing the temporal structure and by giving some semantic information. The drawn structure enables a non linear video access by suggesting relevant frames. The TOVC is created from a graphic framework designed for computing similarities on visual content, and displaying the associated proximities in a 2D map with graph representation. TOVC is one of its first applications and shows interesting capabilities.
