Realtime Video

This supplement adds realtime video handling to the DICOM standard.

It describes several new DICOM IODs and associated transfer syntaxes for the transport of real-time video, and/or audio, and associated medical data. These are referred to collectively as DICOM Real-Time Video (DICOM-RTV).

The supplement defines an new IP-based DICOM Service for the broadcasting of real-time video to subscribers with a quality of service which is compatible with the communication inside the operating room (OR).

Professional video (e.g., TV studios) equipment providers and users have defined in SMPTE (ST 2110 family of standards). ST 2110-10 uses a multicast model rather than a peer-to-peer communication model. DICOM-RTV builds upon ST 2110.

DICOM-RTV restricts real-time communication to uncompressed video.

This supplement was voted as Final Text. It will be part of the next edition of the standard.
