Patent ID: 7518503

Claim:
A portable A/V relay device for receiving and re-transmitting an A/V signal, comprising: an input module for receiving an original A/V signal from an original A/V source; an analog-to-digital converter coupled with the input module that receives the original A/V signal from the input module and converts the original A/V signal to a digital A/V signal; a digital signal processor coupled with the analog-to-digital converter for receiving and processing the digital A/V signal such that the digital A/V signal can be packetized and modulated onto a short range RF carrier; a short range RF transceiver coupled with the digital signal processor for re-transmitting the packetized and modulated digital A/V signal; and an IP network interface configured to connect to an external IP network such that the portable A/V relay device can re-transmit the packetized and modulated digital A/V signal over the external IP network.
