Claim 12:
13. A method of managing media streams over an IP network, the method comprising:
generating, by a controller, a first control signal for a first device coupled with the controller over the IP network, the controller and the first device being synchronized with each other and the first control signal being configured to cause the first device to:
process a media stream received at the first device based on the first control signal to generate a transformed media stream; and
transmit the transformed media stream, over the IP network, to the second device;

generating, by the controller, a second control signal for a second device coupled with the controller over the IP network, the controller and the second device being synchronized with each other and the second control signal being configured to cause the second device to:
process the transformed media stream received at the second device based on the second control signal;

determining, by the controller, a first time of transmission of the first control signal to the first device such that the first control signal is received by the first device simultaneously with the media stream;
determining, by the controller, a second time of transmission of the second control signal to the second device such that the second control signal is received by the second device simultaneously with the transformed media stream;
transmitting, by the controller, the first control signal at the first time of transmission to the first device; and
transmitting, by the controller, the second control signal at the second time of transmission to the second device.
