One or more example embodiments of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting medical video data via a network. According to one more example embodiments, medical video data is provided via at least one of a medical imaging modality or a hospital data system. The medical video data is held in a buffer. Furthermore, a network connection is established in the network from a terminal to the buffer via a web protocol. The medical video data is transmitted from the buffer to the terminal in at least one network data stream via the network connection via the web protocol. The medical video data is displayed on a display apparatus of the terminal. One or more example embodiments of the present invention further relates to a system for transmitting medical video data and a buffer and also a terminal for such a system.

Transmission of medical video data

Simple and robust precise time synchronization of network subscribers is provided by a system having at least one head station with a satellite antenna and a receiving station receiving a satellite signal containing time information. Also included is a station clock having a network connection for the synchronization of the network subscribers using a real time network protocol. An electronic system, arranged in the head station or the station clock, receives the time information from the satellite signal. A bidirectional communication infrastructure connects the head station and the station clock.

Precise time synchronization of network subscribers

A more simple and robust time synchronization of network subscribers compared to solutions known in the state of the art is provided by a device for time synchronization of network subscribers of a network based on satellites, having at least one satellite antenna connected to a receiving unit receiving a satellite signal containing time information. An electronic system that obtains the time from the satellite signal is connected to a time server with a network connection for the synchronization of the network subscribers using a network protocol. The complexity of the device is reduced and the common coaxial infrastructure between the receiving unit and the time server is removed for the satellite signal and replaced by a robust infrastructure.
