Device Independent Data Streaming
First Claim
1. A system for controlling data distribution in a network, said network having at least one data-generating device and at least one data-receiving device, said system comprising memory means, processing means, networking means, at least one input controller and at least one output controller, said memory means storing instructions which configure said processing means to identify said at least one data-generating device and said at least one data-receiving device in said network;
- initialise said identified devices across said network by way of said at least one input controller and said at least one output controller respectively;
control data input by said initialised data generating device by way of said at least one input controller; and
control data output to said initialised data receiving device by way of said at least one output controller, wherein said control is performed selectively according to user input.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for controlling data distribution in a network (108, 109). The network has data-generating and data-receiving devices (101, 102, 103, 105, 106, 111, 112, 113, 116, 117, 118, 206). The system includes memory means (209), processing means (203), networking means (212), at least one input controller (404) and at least one output controller (404). The memory means (209) stores instructions (402) which configure said processing means (208) to identify data-generating devices (101, 102, 206, 111, 112 113) and data-receiving devices (103, 105, 106, 107, 116, 117, 118) in said network. The identified devices (102, 103, 105, 106, 111, 112, 113, 116, 117, 118, 206) are initialised across said network by way of said input controller (404) and one output controller (404). Input data (405, 406) is controlled by said input controller (404). Output data (407, 408) is controlled by said output controller (404). Control is performed selectively according to user input (409).
