EQUIPMENT SYNCHRONIZATION INDEPENDENT OF THE STANDARD OF THE SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of video equipment. It relates more particularly to a sending device able to send packets in a packet communication network which comprises means for: - receiving image pips; initializing an image counter on the basis of the image pips; initializing a counter CPT_PCR every "m" zero-crossings of the image counter; sampling the counter CPT_PCR every period Tech, where Tech arises from a time base synchronized with all the stations of said network; and - sending packets containing the samples PCRe of the counter CPT_PCR in the network. According to the invention it furthermore comprises means for: evaluating a value of excursion Video_Modulus of the image counter; evaluating a value of excursion PCR_Modulus of the counter CPT_PCR; sending the excursion Video_Modulus and the excursion PCR_Modulus in the network.
