FRAME SYNCHRONIZATION IN AN ETHERNET NTP TIME-KEEPING DIGITAL CINEMA PLAYBACK SYSTEM

摘要

A free-running secure clock in a computing device that is adjustable by a user of the device so long as cumulative adjustments do not exceed a predicted clock drift. The clock may be initially set by the user or by a trusted time authority or the like. Such a clock may be required in a trust-based system that measures a temporal requirement against the clock.
