Abstract:
A device ( 200, 230, 250 ) and a method for synchronizing the rendering of an audio/visual signal on different devices comprising an audio rendering device ( 220, 250 ) and a video rendering device ( 210, 230 ). The method comprises a synchronization phase where a synchronization signal ( 410, 420 ) is emitted ( 310 ) on each rendering device, the synchronization signals ( 411, 421 ) are captured by a microphone ( 130 ) in the synchronization module, the difference between the captured synchronization signal is measured and determines the delay to be applied either on the audio or the video signal in order to ensure accurate “lip sync”. The delay information is provided to a demultiplexer function ( 203, 233, 253 ) of the device allowing to delay either the video or the audio signal by caching the corresponding signal in memory ( 204, 234, 254 ) in its compressed form for the duration of the delay. In the preferred embodiment, the synchronization signals are identified using audio watermarks. The device is preferably a television, a broadcast receiver or an audio-visual bar.

Claim (Index 3):
The device of  claim 1  wherein synchronizing is repeated at periodic time intervals.
