1. A method of managing media clips over a data network, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of media streams from a plurality of media sources, each media stream comprising a plurality of media frames; and
for each of the plurality of media streams;
determining a timecode for each of the plurality of media streams, the timecode comprising a plurality of timecode references corresponding to the plurality of media frames; and
storing the plurality of media streams at a storage server, wherein the plurality of media frames are retrievable over the data network based on at least one timecode reference.

Abstract
Methods and system for managing media clips over a data network. Media streams may be received over a data network and stored by a storage server. Metadata regarding the media streams may be generated and stored at a metadata server. A control station can retrieve media frames originating in the stored media streams from the storage server, based on metadata. Media frames from multiple media streams can be retrieved and displayed in synchronization, based on respective timecodes.
