  • System and method for distribution of encoded video data
    Patent number: 6373517
    Abstract: A video conferencing arrangement that includes paired and configurable one-way translators. Each one-way translator is configurable to translate encoded video data from a first format to a second format, and are inter-coupled with a switch arrangement. Because each translator is configurable, a one-way translator can translate encoded video data from one of various formats to another format. Because each translator only translates from a first format to a second format, and not from the second format to the first format, conventional hardware and software can be used to save costs.

  • Multi-point communication arrangement and method
    Patent number: 6356294
    Abstract: A videocommunication system combines video signals for screen-region display for multi-point monitoring and/or conferencing. Consistent with one embodiment directed to a modular implementation, each of a plurality of stations includes an arrangement having a video display and a video camera for generating a video signal, and a cascaded arrangement of signal processing units. Each signal processing unit is constructed and arranged for receiving cascaded signals, including at least one cascaded video signal, at a designated position in the cascaded arrangement. Each signal processing unit combines the video signal of an associated one of the stations with a cascaded video signal according to the designated position of the signal processing unit in the cascaded arrangement.
