Abstract
A method is disclosed of data transfer between a source computer and multiple target computers. The method includes: transmitting a multi-media formatted transmission from the source computer over a first network to a server configured to receive the multi-media formatted transmission in more than one protocol; converting the multi-media formatted transmission into a data stream in an Internet format by extracting the data stream from the multi-media formatted transmission; transmitting the data stream in the Internet format over a second network to the target computers, the target computers each configured to receive the data stream in a finite set of protocols over the second network, the finite set of protocols including Internet protocols but excluding multi-media protocols; and extracting data from the data stream and reformatting the extracted data into a multi-media format at each target computer, wherein each target computer is able to reformat the extracted data into different multi-media formats, since the reformatting is occurring at each target computer individually.
