METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REALIZING SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN RECEIVER AND SOURCE OF BROADCASTING TV SERVICE

摘要

A method and system for implementing synchronization between a receiving end and a source end of broadcast television service. The method includes: determining, at a transmitting station, time difference information between the source end and the transmitting station; and transmitting, by the transmitting station, time information of the transmitting station and the time difference information to the receiving end; implementing, by the receiving end, synchronization between the receiving end and the source end according to the time difference information and the time information of the transmitting station. With the method, synchronization between the source end and the receiving end in a broadcast television service network may be realized so that the receiving end may learn the accurate initial time information for receiving program streams transmitted from the program source. With the method, energy waste due to in-advance turn-on of receiving end device for receiving a program may be avoided.
