Time-offset regulated method and system for synchronization and rate control of media data

摘要

A method and device for synchronization and rate control of media data comprising adaptively computing an offset time using the reference time of a server, a local time of a client, and an associated time for presentation of the data, stamping the offset time on the media data, receiving the offset time stamped media data into a first buffer, processing the offset time stamped media data, computing an altered offset time, including the altered offset time with the processed media data, storing the processed media data in a second buffer, and selectively supplying the processed media data to a presentation sink unit according to the altered offset time, the server reference time, and the associated time of the media data.
