An all-IP studio production environment opens up the opportunity to create more powerful production tools for the live workflow. Seamlessly integrating software processes into the live environment provides production directors with access to a wider range of applications. These may include inherently non real-time processes such as time reversal, creative features such as content-related graphics, or complex effects generation such as content speed-up/slow-down. In this paper, we use the example of a synthetic slow motion application to show how an inherently non real-time process can be integrated into a live IP production environment. This work was carried out within the context of the AMWA Networked Media Incubator (NMI) project (www.amwa.tv/nmi/). The InSync synthetic slow motion software was demonstrated at a workshop organised by NMI leaders BBC, in which we proved interoperability with a reference system and with other vendors' studio equipment.
