Abstract
A method and system for videoconferencing over twisted pair wiring. The transmissions for the videoconference being of a broadcast quality. Input devices at each videoconference location receive a broadcast quality transmission and transmit the transmission to a modulator/demodulator which sends the transmission via twisted pair wiring to a video router where the transmission is routed to its proper destination. Output devices at each videoconference location receive a broadcast quality transmission over twisted pair wiring from a modulator demodulator which receives the transmission from the video audio router.
Claims23
A method for videoconferencing, comprising:
- capturing a first broadcast event from a first party on a capturing device as a broadcast quality transmission;
- transmitting said first broadcast quality transmission to a first distributing device;
- transmitting said first broadcast quality transmission from said distributing device to a routing device over a first standard twisted pair wire;
- transmitting said first broadcast quality transmission from said routing device to a second distributing device over a second standard twisted pair wire;
- distributing said first broadcast quality transmission from said second distributing device to a second party;
- capturing a second broadcast event from said second party on a second capturing device as a broadcast quality transmission;
- transmitting said second broadcast quality transmission to a third distributing device;
- transmitting said second broadcast quality transmission from said third distributing device to a routing device over said second standard twisted pair wire;
- transmitting said second broadcast quality transmission from said routing device to a fourth distributing device over said first standard;
- distributing said second broadcast quality transmission from said fourth distributing device to said first party.
A system for videoconferencing comprising:
- a first capturing device for capturing a first event as a first broadcast quality transmission;
- a first distribution device coupled to said first capturing device;
- a routing device;
- a first twisted pair wiring connecting said first distribution device to said routine device;
- a second distribution device connected to said routing device by a second twisted pair wiring;
- a first output device connected to said second distribution device by a third twisted pair wiring;
- a second capturing device for capturing a second event as a second broadcast quality transmission;
- a third distribution device coupled to said second capturing device, said third distribution device connected to said routing device by said second twisted pair wiring;
- a fourth distribution device coupled to said routing device by said first twisted pair wiring;
- a second output device connected to said fourth distribution device by a fourth twisted pair wiring.
A system for videoconferencing, comprising:
- a first input means;
- a first modulator/demodulator receiving connected to said input means;
- a video router connected to said first modulator/demodulator by a first twisted pair wiring;
- a first output means being connected to said first modulator/demodulator;
- a second modulator/demodulator connected by a second twisted pair wiring to said video router;
- a second output means connected to said second modulator/demodulator;
- a second input means connected to said modulator/demodulator.
