1. A method for transmitting medical video data on a communications channel of a medical data routing system, the method comprising:
receiving video data from a medical video source;
transmitting the received video to a display according to a first pre-defined specification;
determining if a bandwidth of the communications channel is sufficient to transmit the received video data;
if it is determined that the bandwidth of the communications channel is not sufficient to transmit the received video data, analyzing contents of one or more frames of the video data received from the medical video source to determine at least one characteristic of the contents of the video data;
selecting a second pre-defined specification based on the determined at least one characteristic of the contents of the video data received from the medical video source; and
transmitting the received video data using the second pre-defined specification.
