1. A method of displaying a theater renderer user interface, comprising providing a view by a theater renderer for selecting one or more video data;
- and receiving a selection designating one of the one or more video data for transmission to a news server or a sports server;
wherein the one or more video data originate at one or more media appliances;
wherein the video data is provided to a distributed group of network-extensible media appliances, such video data being provided using programmable digital effects processing via real-time signal processing to convert a communication format of the provided video data, wherein the converted data is associated with one or more meta data tag for synchronizing video production or rendering thereof with one or more other video data provided by one or more appliance in the group, such synchronization enabling seamless collaboration or dynamic integration by the group appliances using one or more tag to produce a media project or reconstruct a covered event, whereby such distributed group provides a mobile reconfigurable effects studio for digitally processing synchronized video data in the group in a network extensible manner.

Abstract
Extensible reconfigurable media appliance for security and entertainment captures images digitally for storage. Digital effects and filters are applied to incoming video stream on-the-fly or to video data stored in memory. Digital effects and filters are dynamically stored, modified, updated or deleted, providing extensible reconfigurable effects studio. Digital media appliance communicates wirelessly with other media appliances, computers, security systems, video storage, email, chat, cellular services or PDAs to provide seamless integration of captured video stream.
