Computer System with True Video Signals
First Claim
1. A computer system comprising a computer, a communication network and a first standard monitor type display device, wherein:
- the computer comprises a true video transmission module and a network output module;
the true video transmission module is structured and/or programmed to receive a first true video signal, corresponding to a first computer display used in working on a computer and generated by the computer, and output the first true video signal to the network output module in true video form and without encapsulation in a network protocol;
the network module is structured, connected and/or programmed to send the first true video signal through the communication network to the first standard monitor type display device; and
the first standard monitor type display device receives the first true video signal from the communication network and displays it on a display of the first standard monitor type display device.

Abstract
A computer system where a computer sends out video signal signals in true video format directly to a standard monitor type display device (see DEFINITIONS section) through either a network (wired or wireless or both), or over a wireless connection. In network embodiments, the network may be a local area network (“LAN”) a wide area network (“WAN”) or a combination of these types. Preferably, the true video signal is in one of the following formats: conventional television type broadcast signal, VGA, xVGA, D-sub 15, RGBHV video signal with DDC2 digital clock and data. Preferably, the true signal sent from the computer to the standard monitor type display device is in analog form.
