This paper describes the contribution of Lancaster University to the definition of new transport services for supporting distributed multimedia applications. The paper first reports on a set of requirements that we have identified from a comprehensive applications survey. It goes on to describe the design and implementation of an experimental multimedia support infrastructure which attempts to meet these requirements. This infrastructure consists of a distributed systems platform built on top of a continuous media transport service and protocol. It includes a new set of services, called orchestration services, which are designed to assist with the synchronisation requirements of multimedia applications.
