Patent ID: 11825238

Abstract:
A videoconference system for two-way transmission of video and audio signals using streaming technology between at least three endpoints (EP1-EP3), each having a transmission device and/or a reception device (SE) for audio streams and/or for video streams, includes a first endpoint (EP1) having at least one transmission device (SE) for audio streams/video streams, a second endpoint (EP2) having a reception device for audio streams, and a third endpoint (EP3) having a transmission device for audio streams and a reception device for audio streams. EP1 is connected to EP2 and EP3, in order to transmit a first audio stream (AS1) to EP2 and to EP3 by the transmission device and also transmit a first video stream. EP3 receives the first audio stream (AS1) from EP1 and a request signal (AF) from EP2 and uses this as a basis for producing the second audio stream (AS2) and transmitting it to EP2.
