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 18):
The synchronization system of  claim 16 , further comprising a frame comparator, wherein the set of instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further causes the synchronization system to:\n receive, with the frame comparator, the second video signal that is produced by the frame buffer delay device, wherein synchronizing the first video signal with the second video signal comprises:\n receiving, with the frame comparator, the first video signal that is output from the first device; \n analyzing, with the frame comparator, the received first video signal and the received second video signal to determine a second frame buffer delay; \n generating, with the frame comparator, a second delay adjustment signal based on the determined second frame buffer delay; and \n sending, with the frame comparator, the second delay adjustment signal to the frame buffer delay device to produce the second video signal; \n determine, with the frame comparator, whether the first video signal and the second video signal match to within a predetermined minimal difference; and based on a determination that a difference between the received first video signal and the received second video signal exceeds the predetermined minimal difference, causing the synchronization system to repeat:\n generating, with the frame comparator, the second delay adjustment signal based on the second frame buffer delay; \n sending, with the frame comparator, the second delay adjustment signal to the frame buffer delay device, the second delay adjustment signal causing the frame buffer delay device to apply the second frame buffer delay to the received original video signal to produce the second video signal; \n receiving, with the frame comparator, the first video signal; \n receiving, with the frame comparator, the second video signal; \n analyzing, with the frame comparator, the received first video signal and the received second video signal; and \n determining, with the frame comparator, whether the received first video signal and the received second video signal match to within the predetermined minimal difference.
