Method and system for transmitting clock reference streams with timestamps directly to audio/video end nodes in an audio/video bridging network

摘要

An apparatus used to communicate with a plurality of audio/video (A/V) end nodes in an Audio Video Bridging (AVB) network. The apparatus may include a first A/V end node. The first A/V end node may be configured to transmit a clock reference stream including a plurality of timestamps to a plurality of A/V end nodes. The plurality of A/V end nodes may transmit a media stream including a plurality of video samples and a plurality of audio samples to one another. The media stream may be separate from the plurality of timestamps. The plurality of A/V end nodes may be arranged to syntonize or synchronize the plurality of video samples and the plurality of audio samples with one another for playback in response to the plurality of timestamps.

1. An apparatus for communicating with a plurality of audio/video (A/V) end nodes in an Audio Video Bridging (AVB) network, the apparatus comprising:
a first A/V end node configured to:
transmit a clock reference stream including a plurality of timestamps directly to a plurality of A/V end nodes that transmit a media stream including a plurality of video samples and a plurality of audio samples to one another, the media stream being separate from the plurality of timestamps and each of the plurality of A/V end nodes being arranged to syntonize or synchronize the plurality of video samples and the plurality of audio samples with one another for playback in response to the plurality of timestamps in the clock reference stream from the first A/V end node.
