Synchronization of Live Continuous Media Streams
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the major problems in networked multimedia is the playout synchronization of continuous media streams. The sink of a set of transmitted media streams has to reestablish the presentation timing of samples within each stream (intra-stream synchronization) and among streams (inter-stream synchronization). In applications that include live human-to-human conversation there is the additional requirement that the delay between acquisition and presentation of media data be kept low. This article presents a method that allows to synchronize an arbitrary combination of live continuous media streams and at the same time maintain a minimal end-to-end delay. Emphasis is given to the description of an implementation of this method.

متن کاملA Retransmission–Based Continuous Media Multicast Communication Scheme: The Effect of Buffering Time for Media Synchronization on Application–Level QoS
This paper proposes a retransmission–based error recovery scheme in multicast communications for live audio and video streams transferred over the Internet/intranets. The scheme is referred to as MRVTR (Multicast based on Retransmission with Virtual–Time Rendering). In order to suppress retransmission traffic, MRVTR adopts a method for controlling NACK (Negative Acknowledgment) transmission acc...
متن کاملLive Media Synchronization Quality of a Retransmission-Based Error Recovery Scheme
This paper proposes a transport–layer error recovery scheme using retransmission for live audio–video streams transferred over QoS non-guaranteed networks. The scheme employs an enhanced version of the virtual–time rendering (VTR) media synchronization algorithm, which adjusts media rendering–time according to the network condition, and is referred to as RVTR (Retransmission with VTR) in this p...
متن کاملVideo Synchronization in the Cloud Using Visible Light Communication
Video synchronization refers to time-based alignment of several audio/video streams. The growth of heterogeneous social media networks demands faster and more efficient synchronization methods that could satisfy the real-time requirements of media cloud. Although there are many techniques and methods for synchronization that have been in use or proposed, this thesis suggests a novel approach fo...
متن کاملSynchronization of Multimedia Streams in Distributed Environments
One of the major features that distinguishes multimedia applications from other traditional applications is the integration of various media streams that have to be presented in a synchronized fashion. This paper presents a set of synchronization algorithms for continuous media streams in a distributed best-eeort system. First, we show how the load variation at the source may lead to an erroneo...
