The invention comprises a low cost, lightweight, self-contained video transmission module for transmitting streaming video images from a video image source to a remote location over a packet-switched network such as the internet. The transmission module requires no user skill or expertise to connect or to operate and provides high quality real-time streaming video to remote users. The transmission module is especially useful for transmitting images from medical equipment such as XRay, CT, MRI and ultrasound equipment at a medical site which does not otherwise have access to video conference capabilities to thereby enable consultation with specialists at a remote location. Thus, it is expected to be especially beneficial to smaller and poorer medical sites, as well as enabling real-time consultation from mobile vehicles such as ambulances or helicopters. It also is expected to be useful in other applications involving remote consultations accompanied by video streaming.
