SERVER NODE ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04N21/2343 H04N21/2743 

FIELD: electrical communication equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a server node arrangement for receiving input data from a plurality of input devices, for example, video cameras. Server node arrangement (10), which is coupled via a communication network to plurality of sources (30) of input data, and to one or more output devices (20), is operable to receive data content from plurality of sources (30) of input data and to process the data content for supplying to at least a subset of output devices (20); to host processes (110) for converting data content into a form which is compatible to a native data rendering format of the subset of one or more output devices (20), wherein at least a subset of one or more output devices (20) is operable to render the data content simultaneously. Optionally, server node arrangement (10) is operable to implement one or more processes (110) as video surveillance system (5) and/or a video conferencing system. Preferably, server node arrangement (10) is implemented in a cloud computing environment and/or in at least one client device.

EFFECT: technical result is reduction of computing power for data content rendering devices, which data content they receive from the server node arrangement.
