Abstract:
1. A system for storing frames of an input signal, the system comprising: a buffer operable to store a quantity of frames, wherein each frame includes a timestamp specifying a playback-time associated with that frame; a clock operable to determine an arrival-time associated with each frame received by the buffer; a comparison module operable to determine whether a frame arrived at the buffer on schedule based on the arrival-time associated with that frame and the playback-time associated with that frame; and a buffer adjuster operable to alter the quantity of frames stored by the buffer, in response to the comparison module determining that one or more frames did not arrive on schedule, wherein the quantity of frames stored by the buffer is altered based on a difference between the arrival-time associated with a frame and the playback-time associated with that frame.
