Abstract:
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing media content streaming or playback, and, more particularly, for implementing media stream synchronization. In some embodiments, a synchronization system might receive a first signal that is output from a first device, which receives an original video signal from a video source and outputs a first video signal. The synchronization system might analyze the first signal to determine a first frame buffer delay, generate a delay adjustment signal based on such determination, and send the delay adjustment signal to a frame buffer delay device. The frame buffer delay device and the first device might concurrently receive the original video signal from the video source. The first delay adjustment signal causes the frame buffer delay device to apply the first frame buffer delay to the original video signal to produce a second video signal that is synchronized with the first video signal.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first timing pattern comprises a first anchor frame pattern of a plurality of anchor frame patterns, each of the plurality of anchor frame patterns being different from each other of the plurality of anchor frame patterns, wherein the first anchor frame pattern of the plurality of anchor frame patterns is encoded on a first frame of the original video signal and a second anchor frame pattern of the plurality of anchor frame patterns is encoded on a second frame of the original video signal, wherein the first frame and the second frame are separated by a predetermined number of frames of the original video signal, with intermediate frame patterns being encoded on intermediate frames of the original video signal between the first frame and the second frame, wherein each intermediate frame pattern is the same as the first anchor frame pattern, wherein analyzing the second timing pattern to determine the first frame buffer delay comprises:\n initiating, with the analyzer, a counter when a first anchor frame of the plurality of anchor frame patterns is sent to the first device; stopping, with the analyzer, the counter when the second timing pattern is received from the output of the first device; analyzing, with the analyzer, the second timing pattern to identify a third anchor frame of the plurality of anchor frame patterns; and determining, with the analyzer, the first frame buffer delay, based on a value of the counter when stopped, with respect to the third anchor frame.
