1. Method for distributing security media, comprising the steps of:
- accessing one or more audio or visual stream provided according to a non-linear template or script comprising at least one branching point; and
transmitting the stream according to a meta-data or label for accessing such stream;
wherein the stream is provided for security to a distributed group of network-extensible media appliances, such stream being provided using programmable digital effects processing via real-time signal processing to convert a communication format of the provided stream, wherein the converted stream is associated with one or more meta data tag for synchronizing stream production or rendering thereof with one or more other stream provided by one or more other appliance in the group, such synchronization automatically 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 serves effectively as a mobile reconfigurable effects studio for digitally processing synchronized streams 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.
