Abstract

A method includes providing a media dataset including media content data and environmental effects metadata defining a set of environmental events each corresponding to a media timestamp of a plurality of media timestamps. The method further includes, for each environmental event in the set of environmental events, identifying a protocol timestamp for a communication protocol, where the protocol timestamp corresponds to the media timestamp of the environmental event, and generating a message for transmission according the communication protocol, where the message associates the environmental event with the protocol timestamp. The method further includes addressing the message to one or more environmental effect generators.
