Audio/video transceiver provided with a device for reconfiguration of incompatibly received or transmitted video and audio information

A multimedia communications system, comprising:

• a plurality of independent video and audio information production devices;
• a telecommunications network provided with a plurality of network equipment;
• a selective one or plurality of controllers connected between said telecommunications network and said video and audio production devices, each of said controllers provided with control means for operating a single or plurality of selective video and audio information production devices, based upon video and audio information supplied to, or received from said telecommunications network, comprising:
• an input/output device for connecting to one or more of said network equipment receiving and transmitting video and audio information to and from said telecommunications network on real time basis, and input/output device continuously monitoring run-time status and condition changes of said telecommunications network and dynamically controlling and adjusting on a real time basis corresponding network bandwidth utilization by said video and audio information prior to immediately transmitting all of said video and audio information to said telecommunications network;
• processor means connected to said input/output device for processing video and audio information supplied to or received from said input/output device, said processor means including means for recognizing and processing a plurality of mutually incompatible video and audio coding algorithms for information received from or supplied to said telecommunications network;
• reconfiguration means connected to said processor means for standardizing and reconfiguring the video and audio information according to a selective internal file format which is universally compatible with any coding algorithms received from or supplied to said telecommunications network, said reconfiguration means further performing scalable internal data reformatting among incompatibly received or transmitted video and audio information;
• and
• interface devices for direct communication between said controller and the video and audio information production devices, said interface devices receiving information transmitted by the video and audio information production devices and transmitting information said controller to the video and audio information production devices, including the encoded video and audio information which are universally compatible with video coding algorithms produced by said reconfiguration means.
