Abstract:
Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide for dynamic delay equalization of related media signals in a media transport system. Methods include receiving a plurality of related media signals, transporting the related media signals along different media paths, calculating uncorrected propagation delays for the media paths, and delaying each of the related media signals by an amount related to the difference between the longest propagation delay (of the uncorrected propagation delays) and the uncorrected propagation delay of the related media signal/media path. Calculating the uncorrected propagation delays and delaying the related media signals may be performed in response to a change to the propagation delay of at least one of the related media signals/media paths. Additionally or alternatively, calculating the uncorrected propagation delays and delaying the related media signals may be performed while transporting the related media signals.

Claim (Index 13):
A media transport system, comprising:\n a first media path that includes a first edge input device at a first ingress and a first edge output device at a first egress, wherein the first edge input device is configured to receive a first media signal from a shared source space, wherein the first edge output device is configured to receive the first media signal from the first edge input device and to receive a first upstream delay signal from the first edge input device, wherein the first edge output device is configured to determine a first uncorrected propagation delay from the first ingress to the first egress based upon the first upstream delay signal, and wherein the first media path includes a first dynamic delay element configured to delay the first media signal based upon a first delay command; and a second media path that includes a second edge input device at a second ingress and a second edge output device at a second egress, wherein the second edge input device is configured to receive a second media signal from the shared source space, wherein the second edge output device is configured to receive the second media signal from the second edge input device and to receive a second upstream delay signal from the second edge input device, wherein the second edge output device is configured to determine a second uncorrected propagation delay from the second ingress to the second egress based upon the second upstream delay signal, and wherein the second media path includes a second dynamic delay element configured to delay the second media signal based upon a second delay command; wherein the first edge output device and the second edge output device are configured to settle on a target propagation delay that is at least as large as a maximum of the first uncorrected propagation delay and the second uncorrected propagation delay.
