First Claim
1. A method of providing one-way video transmission and corresponding interactive two-audio communication to remote recipients accessing the Internet via a world wide computer network, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) creating at a source location a source digital video signal corresponding to a viewed scene;
b) broadcast transmitting the source digital video signal at substantially the same time the source digital video signal is created, wherein the source digital video signal is transmitted through a one-way dedicated transmission channel to at least one recipient via an internet connection;
c) transmitting a source digital audio signal created at a source location and corresponding to the source digital video signal to the at least one recipient over an Internet connection via a VoIP protocol; and
d) transmitting a recipient audio signal created at a recipient location and responsive to the source audio signal or the source video signal, wherein the source audio signal is transmitted from the recipient location to the source location via an Internet connection.

Abstract
A method of providing one-way video transmission and corresponding interactive two-audio communication to remote recipients via a world wide computer network comprising the steps of creating a source digital video signal, broadcast transmitting the source digital video signal via an internet connection, transmitting a corresponding source digital audio signal a VoIP protocol, and transmitting a recipient audio signal to the source location via an Internet connection. A system for broadcast transmitting a one-way digital video signal and for transmitting and receiving a corresponding interactive two-way audio signal over an Internet connection comprises a broadcast digital video server for broadcast transmitting a source digital video signal, a VoIP audio server for transmitting a source digital audio signal over an Internet connection, and an Internet web page configured to display the transmitted source digital video and audio signal, the Internet web page further configured to receive and transmit a recipient digital audio signal from the recipient to the VoIP audio server.

2. A system for broadcast transmitting a one-way digital video signal and for transmitting and receiving a corresponding interactive two-way audio signal to a remote recipient via an Internet connection, the system comprising:
-
a) a camera for creating a source digital video signal corresponding to a viewed scene;
b) a broadcast digital video server for broadcast transmitting the source digital video signal created by the camera, the broadcast digital video server configured to transmit the source digital video signal substantially simultaneously with its creation via a one-way dedicated transmission channel to at least one recipient via an internet connection;
c) a digital audio encoding device for creating a source digital audio signal at a source location corresponding to the source digital video signal created by the camera;
d) a VoIP audio server for transmitting the source digital audio signal created by the digital audio encoding device to the at least one recipient over an Internet connection via a VoIP protocol;
e) an Internet web page accessible by the remote recipient and configured to display the transmitted source digital video signal and to play the source digital audio signal; and
f) the internet web page further configured to receive a recipient digital audio signal from the recipient responsive to the source digital audio signal and to transmit the recipient digital audio signal to the VoIP audio server at the source location, the VoIP audio server further configured to receive and play the recipient digital audio signal.
