Digital multimedia network with latency control

摘要

The present invention relates to a digital multimedia network 1 with latency control comprising apparatuses for processing of data streams, wherein a borderline input apparatus providing a data stream generates a latency time stamp (LTS) which contains an absolute time indicating a creation time of said data stream and an accumulated delay time which is updated by each apparatus processing said data stream, wherein said latency time stamp (LTS) of said data stream is evaluated by a borderline output apparatus of said network which synchronizes said data stream.
