Method for processing video and/or audio signals

Method for processing at least one of video and audio signals utilizing a processing component which is communicatively connected via a data network with a source component having a compression stage for compressing the at least one of video and audio signals, wherein the method comprises

• receiving at least one of uncompressed video and audio signals as source signals at the source component from at least one of a plurality of sources;
• compressing the at least one of video and audio signals with a selectable first compression factor;
• transmitting the at least one of compressed video and audio signals to the processing component;
• processing the at least one of compressed video and audio signals in the processing component to produce at least one production output signal and a multi-view signal;
• wherein the method further comprises
• determining a specific source signal as being important for the production output signal because of content of the specific source signal by one of a predefined algorithm and manual user input;
• sending the source signal determined as being important for the production output signal from the source component at the same time as a high quality signal and as a compressed signal to the processing component, wherein the high quality signal is compressed with a second compression factor which is smaller than the first compression factor;
• processing the high quality signal and at least one of the compressed video and audio signals in the processing component to produce the production output signal;
• and
• processing all of the compressed video and audio signals in the processing component to produce the multi-view signal.
