METHOD FOR SIGNALING A DEVICE TO PERFORM NO SYNCHRONIZATION OR INCLUDE A SYNCRONIZATION DELAY ON MULTIMEDIA STREAMS.

摘要

An improved system and method for permitting a transmitting electronic device to indicate explicitly which streams in a multimedia stream being transmitted should not be synchronized or should include a specified amount of synchronization jitter. The present invention aids the receiving device in understanding the stream characteristics. The present invention also allows the receiving device to make an informed decision as to whether an synchronization jitter value should be used when synchronizing two or more streams. For certain applications such as uni-directional video sharing or video PoC, the sending device of the stream can indicate that the receiving device doesn't perform any or limited synchronization for better media quality.
