Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014078818A1] A system for event-based synchronized multimedia playback, comprising a media source device and a plurality of destination devices, each destination device comprising a local clock, and a synchronization module on one of the devices. The synchronization module transmits common events, E n , each with a unique event number, to each of the plurality of destination devices. Each destination device records time Dx n when event E n is received and transmits an acknowledgement message back to the synchronization module comprising time Dx n and event number n. The synchronization module determines phase and frequency differences between clocks of respective destination devices; computes a frequency adjustment to compensate for phase and rate differences; and directs each respective destination device to adjust its clock phase and frequency accordingly. Each destination device adjusts its local clock as directed or may perform a sample rate conversion on sample data in order to enable synchronized media playback.
