Patent ID: 8705571

Claim:
A method for providing multimedia synchronization for simultaneous isochronous data streams in a mobile digital data interface (MDDI) communication system, the method comprising the steps of: driving by a host a data line to a high state for a first predetermined number of clock cycles and driving the date line to a low state for a second predetermined number of clock cycles; grouping, at the host, packets into sub-frames, wherein each sub-frame includes a corresponding sub-frame header packet comprising a unique word; grouping the sub-frames into a plurality of media-frames, each media-frame having a predefined length, the packets including video stream packets and audio stream packets; sending the plurality of media-frames from the host to a client; receiving the plurality of media-frames at the client, where provided the client has received the high state for at least the first predetermined number of clock cycles and the low state for at least the second predetermined number of clock cycles, searching by the client for the unique word to acquire synchronization; aligning, at the client, the video stream packets and the audio stream packets for each sub-frame using the sub-frame header packet; and presenting multimedia content included in the video stream packets and the audio stream packets.
