METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTIMEDIA STREAM SYNCHRONIZATION

摘要

The method and apparatus for multimedia stream synchronization includes establishing a hierarchical clock system for use in synchronization. The clock system includes establishing at least one parent clock and establishing a child clock for each multimedia stream to be synchronized. The parent clock is in communication with each child clock and through the implementation of rollover and prefetch state information contained with each established child clock, the parent clock can nominate any child clock as a master so as to enable multimedia stream synchronization.

主权项

1. A method for multimedia stream synchronization, the method comprising the steps of:
establishing at least one parent clock in communication with two or more multimedia streams to be synchronized; and establishing a child clock specific to each multimedia stream, wherein each child clock is in signal communication with all other child clocks and the established parent clock.
