Abstract:
1. A method implemented by a stream generating device for generating a stream of media frames that is to be processed by a stream processing device, the method comprising: providing multiple media frames at the stream generating device, each media frame of said multiple media frames having an assigned default timestamp defining a rendering time of media of said media frame according to a default rendering time schedule; at the stream generating device, assigning, to each media frame of at least a portion of said multiple media frames, an alternative timestamp in addition to the default timestamp assigned to that media frame, the alternative timestamp defining an alternative rendering time of said media of said media frame according to an alternative rendering time schedule, such that at any given time said media frame has assigned thereto multiple different timestamps defining multiple different rendering times of said media; and with said multiple different timestamps assigned to each of at least said portion of the multiple media frames, providing those multiple media frames for transmission to the stream processing device.
