Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes an internet protocol (IP) communication system for communicating IP-based communication data, an audio/video output, and an audio/video source. The MRI system also includes an audio/video/IP gateway device with multiple non-IP interfaces operable to receive and output audio/video data. The non-IP interfaces use non-IP protocols, while an IP interface connected to the communication system uses a predefined audio/video IP protocol. A controller is operable to convert received audio/video data between the non-IP and IP protocols, output converted audio/video data via the IP interface in IP protocol, and output converted audio/video data via the non-IP interfaces using the corresponding non-IP protocol.
