Abstract:
Playing of first and second content streams delivered to respective first and second receiving devices is achieved following a seek command to one of the devices, by a synchronization controller which receives information identifying the segment in the first stream in which the start point is located, and the duration of time between the start point and the beginning of the next segment, and transmits a command to the second receiving device identifying a segment in a second stream, at which to resume play, and a time at which to start displaying, allowing the display controlled by the second receiving device to be resynchronized with the display controlled by the first receiving device after operation of the seek command on the first device.

Claim (Index 4):
A synchronization control device for coordinating play of first and second content streams delivered to respective first and second receiving devices, the first and second content streams each comprising a series of segments identified in a manifest file available to both the first and second receiving devices, and wherein corresponding segments in the respective first and second content streams are identified by reference to a reference point common to the first and second content streams, the synchronization control device comprising:\n a first interface for intercepting, from the first receiving device, indication of a start point in the first content stream from which display of content is to resume following a seek command; a synchronization controller for identifying a segment in the first content stream in which the start point is located, and a duration of time between the start point and the beginning of the next segment; and a second interface for transmitting a command to the second receiving device identifying a segment in the second content stream at which to resume play, and a time at which to start displaying, to cause a display controlled by the second receiving device to be resynchronized with a display controlled by the first receiving device after operation of the seek command on the first receiving device.
