1. A method of transmitting medical imaging data, the method comprising:
generating a first video stream based on medical imaging data generated by an imaging device in a first room in a healthcare environment, wherein the first video stream comprises a first bitrate;
transmitting the first video stream from a first internet protocol network of the first room to a transcoder, wherein the transcoder acts as a bridge between the first internet protocol network and a second internet protocol network;
generating a second video stream based on the medical imaging data at the transcoder, wherein the second video stream comprises a second bitrate lower than the first bitrate;
transmitting the second video stream to a second internet protocol network;
transmitting the second video stream from the second internet protocol network to a third internet protocol network of a second room in the healthcare environment for consumption by a first device.
