SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATION OF A TEMPORARY CONTROL FACILITY FOR VIDEO DISTRIBUTION IN A VENUE

摘要

A temporary video or multimedia distribution system set up in a venue receives multiple video streams and transcodes them into a single stream of data packets with each of the plurality of video data packets for respective ones of the video streams being assigned a port number corresponding to the respective video stream. The data packets are routed to a plurality of Access Points (APs) for transmission. At least a portion of the APs may be temporarily installed before an event and removed following the event. A User Equipment (UE) communicates with the APs and selects one of the video streams for viewing on the UE by selecting the port number corresponding to the desired video stream. The UE can “change channels” to view other video streams by changing the port number to the port number of the desired video stream.
