Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: evaluating a first video stream encoded by a first encoding element, wherein the first video stream is provided at a first bit rate; evaluating a second video stream encoded by a second encoding element, wherein the second video stream is provided at a second bit rate; computing a frame count of an instant frame based on a time code and a capture time; beginning an encoding on the instant frame, in response to a determination that a mod n is zero, where a is the frame count of the instant frame, and n is a size of a Group of Pictures of at least one of the first video stream and the second video stream; and providing, based on the encoding of the instant frame, an output that is reflective of a time synchronization and a frame alignment for a plurality of frames within the first video stream and the second video stream.
