It is proposed that the data stream is adapted to be sent between the first and second part by means of a wide area network. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for remote video and/or audio production, said system comprising; a first part related to a control room for said video production and a second part on a site of an event to be recorded, where said first and second parts communicate with each other by means of a data stream, where said data stream is adapted to be sent between said first and second parts by means of a wide area network, and where a signal path is established through said wide area network between said first and second parts; wherein said signal path comprises a first and a second logical signal path; wherein the first logical signal path is adapted to transport primary data and is adapted to provide a quality of service with zero time delay in the transportation of primary data; wherein the second logical signal path is adapted to transport secondary data, wherein the secondary data can accept a lower quality of service; wherein that said first logical signal path is adapted to two way communication between said first and second parts when required; wherein said second logical signal path is adapted to two way communication between said first and second part; and wherein said primary data is real time data, such as video and audio signals. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said secondary data comprises remote camera control data through which it is possible to control remote cameras on said site from said control room. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system according to claim 2, wherein said secondary data comprises control data between any camera remote control panel in said control room and any camera control unit at said site. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said secondary data comprises remote audio control data through which it is possible to control remote audio on said site from said control room. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said secondary data comprises data for error management and error control of equipment on said site from said control room. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said secondary data comprises voice communication between members of a first crew in said control room and members of a second crew on said site. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system according to claim 6, wherein said first part comprises a first communication matrix, wherein said first communication matrix includes first input and output connections dedicated to members of said first crew and said first communication matrix is adapted to enable any required communication between members of said first crew in said control room through said first input and output connections; wherein said second part comprises a second communication matrix, wherein said second communication matrix includes second input and output connections dedicated to members of said second crew and said second communication matrix is adapted to enable any required communication between members of said second crew at said site through said second input and output connections; wherein said first communication matrix includes third input and output connections dedicated to members of said second crew as if said members of said second crew were present in said control room; wherein said second communication matrix includes fourth input and output connections dedicated to members of said first crew as if said members of said first crew were present at said site; wherein outgoing data from said third output connections are communicated to said fourth input connections and outgoing data from said fourth output connections are communicated to said third input connections; and wherein said first or secondary data, depending on the real-time requirements of the communication, comprises incoming data to said third and fourth input connections and outgoing data from said third and fourth output connections. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system according to claim 7, wherein said secondary data comprises control data required to set up, manage and control said second communication matrix from said control room, and said second communication matrix is configured and managed to be a logical mirror of said first communication matrix. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The system according to claim 7, wherein said second logical signal path is divided into several different signal paths each providing different qualities of service, where data related to real time applications, such as remote control of equipment and voice communication between crew members, is adapted to be communicated through a logical signal path with a higher quality of service than data related to non real time applications, such as error management and management of the communication matrixes. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein at least said first logical signal path is realized by means of optical fiber communication. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system according to claim 10, wherein said second logical signal path is realized by means of optical fiber communication. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein that said second part is a stationary part located at a site frequently used for events to be recorded. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said second part is a mobile part moveable to any site used for an event to be recorded. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein said first part is adapted to communicate with two or more second parts simultaneously. ### Claim 15 A system for remote video and/or audio production, said system comprising; a first location corresponding to a control room for said video production; a second location corresponding to a site of an event to be recorded; and a plurality of signal paths through a network, the plurality of signal paths are configured for two-way transportation of data between the first location and the second location, wherein the plurality of signal paths includes a first signal path and a second signal path; wherein the first signal path is configured to transport the primary data from the second location to the first location via a first data transportation protocol having a first time delay; wherein the second signal path is configured to transport secondary data between the first location and the second location via a second data transportation protocol having a second time delay; and wherein the first time delay corresponds with a delay associated with real time data transmission, and the second time delay is greater than the first time delay. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the primary data includes video and audio signals. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the network is a wide area network. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the first signal path is configured to transport the primary data at a first quality and the second signal path is configured to transport the secondary data at a second quality, wherein the first quality is greater than the second quality. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, further comprising camera equipment located at the second location, and wherein the secondary data includes remote control signals for controlling the camera equipment from the first location. ### Claim 20 (depends on 8) The system according to claim 8, wherein said second logical signal path is divided into several different signal paths each providing different qualities of service, where data related to real time applications, such as remote control of equipment and voice communication between crew members, is adapted to be communicated through a logical signal path with a higher quality of service than data related to non real time applications, such as error management and management of the communication matrixes.
