Abstract
A secure video transmission system and method comprises a secure network that is connected to a distribution network through a firewall. The secure network is adapted to transmit video data to the distribution network that can in turn transmit the video data to an end user after receiving a request for video URL. Video data can be accessed by an external user without directly accessing the video data sources. The firewall does not permit any devices in the distribution network to initiate a connection to any devices on the secure network.
Claims20
A secure video transmission system comprising:
- a secure network comprising at least one video source and an ingestion node, wherein the ingestion node is adapted to normalize video data generated by the at least one video source and generate a user datagram protocol/real-time transport protocol (UDP/RTP) video stream and session description protocol (SDP) file;
- and
- a distribution network comprising at least one distribution node operably connected to the secure network, wherein the SDP file and the UDP/RTP video stream are received at the distribution node through a firewall, wherein an external user can access the UDP/RTP video stream from the distribution node through the firewall by transmitting a request video URL to the distribution node thereby permitting video data from the at least one video source to be viewed by the external user.
A method for securely accessing video data, comprising:
- determining formats of video data from at least two video sources;
- normalizing the formats of the video data from the at least two video sources so that the normalized formats of the video data from the at least two video sources are the same;
- generating user datagram protocol/real-time transport protocol (UDP/RTP) video streams for the video data from the at least two video sources;
- transmitting the UDP/RTP video streams through a firewall to a distribution node on a distribution network;
- receiving a request from an external user through the firewall at the distribution node;
- and
- transmitting in response to the request from the external user at least one of the UDP/RTP video streams to the external user.
