Reflector and method for improving transmission speed of video data in a WAN-based data collector-server architecture by the same

摘要

A reflector and a method for improving transmission speed of video data in WAN-based data collector-server architecture are disclosed. The reflector includes a recorder for storing raw video data transmitted from the data collector, a program for trans code the raw video data into a predetermined format, and storage for storing the trans code video data. Meanwhile, the method includes the following steps: providing a plurality of the above-mentioned reflectors at the server, building a plurality of tunnels for transmitting the raw video data between the data collector and the server, transmitting the raw video data from the data collector to the server via the tunnels, storing the raw video data in the recorder at any given time, and reflecting the raw video data in the recorder from one reflector to any other reflectors at any given time. The method further includes the following steps: trans code the raw video data into a predetermined format by the trans code trans code program, storing the trans code video data in the storage, and deleting the trans code video data right after it has been stored in the storage.
