摘要

The present invention pertains to the fields of telecommunications, real-time connection, remotely assisted professional procedures and telemedicine. More specifically, the present invention describes a real-time user-connection system and equipment for connecting devices and transmitting signals. The system according to the invention allows remotely assisted professional procedures to be performed and documented in real time, and can be used for remotely assisted surgery and remotely assisted assays. The equipment (21) according to the invention for transmitting signals (SE) from at least one signal source (20) comprises at least one encoder (12) which encodes the signal and sends an output signal (S1) which is forwarded to a group of users, at least one user at a remote base sending information to a device (26) at a local base over a communication channel (C2).
