An embedded system for video processing comprises hardware means for realizing the following functions: i) a server function, wherein for realizing the server function the following functions are realized: i1) receiving of at least one image-, at least one audio-data stream; i2) compression of at least one of the image- and audio-data streams yielding in each case a combined data stream respectively; i3) output of at least one of the combined data streams via a protocol based network; ii) a client function, wherein for realizing the client function the following functions are realized: ii1) receiving of at least one combined data stream from the protocol based network; ii2) decompression of the at least one combined data stream; ii3) output of the combined decompressed image- and audio-data stream; iii) wherein the hardware means are designed in such a way that they compress and decompress a continuous combined data stream and iv) the hardware means for realizing the server function and the client function are arranged on a joint circuit board.
