Patent ID: 8223806

Claim:
Reception device able to receive packets in a packet switching network comprising at least two stations, said device comprising: means for receiving packets containing samples, said samples coming from data sampled every period, where the period is from a time base synchronised on all the stations of said network, means for regenerating a counting ramp having a count increment value and a range value PCR_Modulus, using a phase-locked loop receiving the samples and further delivering local samples every T ech period and a reconstituted clock with a frequency value F out , means for initialising, at every zero-crossing of the counting ramp, an image counter that is determined by the reconstituted clock, means for generating image cues at every zero-crossing of said counter, and means for reconstituting a synchronization signal from said image cues, wherein the device comprises, further, means for determining the count increments values.
