METHODS FOR PROCESSING MULTIMEDIA FLOWS AND CORRESPONDING DEVICES

摘要

The present invention relates to the synchronization of multimedia flows provided by different sources or transmitted via different transport protocols to a single receiving device or designed to be rendered by different rendering devices. According to the invention, a reference datum representative of a datum of the first multimedia flow is provided in the second multimedia flow and associated with a datum of this second multimedia flow to synchronize the two flows. This reference datum constitutes a timing reference for the datum of the second multimedia flow with which it is associated. It is used to synchronize the two multimedia flows.
