Abstract
Video on Demand allows, for example, a coded TV signal or film to be transmitted to a subscriber over a standard two-wire metallic telephone line. A similar apparatus for connecting unidirectional mobile data output to a destination via a standard metallic telephone line, the apparatus comprising a High Bandwidth Subscriber Link Transmitter Unit connected between the data source and a connection point on the telephone line and a High Bandwidth Subscriber Link Receiver Unit connected to a further connection point on the telephone line would enable a signal such as from a video camera to be input at or subscriber terminal and transmitted over a metallic telephone line.
Claims9
A video reporting system for enabling a real-time, unidirectional, data transmission of high-bandwidth video data signals over a metallic telephone line to an intermediate destination before or at the input to a telephone exchange connected thereto, said signals being from a mobile video data source that is movable to said intermediate destination, said system comprising:
- a) a high-bandwidth subscriber link transmitter unit connected between the mobile source and a first telephone subscriber connection point on the telephone line;
- b) a high-bandwidth subscriber link receiver unit connected at said intermediate destination;
- and
- c) means at the first connection point, for accessing the receiver unit to establish a high-bandwidth connection for the data signals between said intermediate destination and a further destination.
A method of enabling a real-time, unidirectional, data transmission of high-bandwidth video data signals over a metallic telephone line to an intermediate destination before or at the input to a telephone exchange connected thereto, said signals being from a mobile video data source that is movable relative to the destination, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) connecting a high-bandwidth subscriber link transmitter unit between the mobile source and a first telephone subscriber connection point on the telephone line;
- b) connecting a high-bandwidth subscriber link receiver unit connected at said intermediate destination;
- and
- c) accessing at the first connection point, the receiver unit to establish a high-bandwidth connection of the data signals between said intermediate destination and a further destination.
