Patent ID: 8804037

Claim:
A digital radio broadcast receiver configured to receive and render first media content in synchronization with second media content, comprising: a processing system; and a memory coupled to the processing system, wherein the processing system is configured to execute steps comprising: receiving a frame having first media content, second media content, and data control instructions associating the first media content with the second media content, wherein the second media content has been processed for rendering in synchronization with the first media content based on an estimated latency through a digital radio broadcast transmitter and a digital radio broadcast receiver; processing the first media content through a first signal path in the digital radio broadcast receiver, thereby incurring a first latency; processing the second media content through a second signal path in the digital radio broadcast receiver, thereby incurring a second latency that is different than the first latency; associating the second media content with the first media content based on the data control instructions; and rendering the second media content in synchronization with the first media content, wherein the digital radio broadcast receiver renders the first media content and the second media content without making determinations about relative timing of rendering the second media content and the first media content.
