Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first interface to receive processing control commands that are provided to production processing equipment for controlling production processing of production signals by the production processing equipment, the production signals comprising one or more video signals, one or more video/audio signals, or both one or more video signals and one or more video/audio signals; a second interface to enable communications with a controller that controls production processing of delayed second production signals by second production processing equipment at a different location from the production processing equipment, the second production signals being related to the production signals; and a message generator operatively coupled to the first interface and to the second interface, to provide the received processing control commands, and timing information associated with edit units of the production signals for which the processing control commands control the production processing equipment, to the controller for synchronizing control of production processing by the second production processing equipment with the delayed second production signals such that the production processing of the delayed second production signals by the second production processing equipment is edit unit accurate and synchronized to match the production processing of the production signals by the production processing equipment.
