Abstract:	Most of the recent work on distributed multimedia systems has concentrated on the transmission, synchronization and operating system support for continuous media data streams. We consider the integrated control of remote multimedia devices, such as cameras, speakers and microphones, to be an important part of a distributed multimedia system. In this paper we describe MCAM, an application layer architecture, service and protocol for Movie Control, Access, and Management in a computer network. The OSI Reference Model is our framework. We present the protocol data units and the Finite State Machine for our application protocol and outline the automatic generation of the implementation code for layer 7 from our formal specification. MCAM allows complete and integrated control of movie data streams and devices in a heterogeneous multimedia network.
