Patent number: 8958014Abstract: Techniques for synchronizing audio and video content for presentation to a user at a same rate are provided. Streams of content from two or more sources of media, each media source having an associated clock, are synchronized by a synchronizing component and processor with respect to a master clock. As well, techniques are provided for ensuring that output devices are synchronized at preview startup. That is, such techniques ensure that the output devices start playing the media at the same time as well as at the same rate.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nicolas Moss, Gregory R. Chapman, John Samuel Bushell, Bradley Ford

Patent number: 8442126Abstract: Techniques for synchronizing audio and video content are provided. According to techniques described herein, a data stream represents video frames and audio samples. For each video frame in the data stream, data structures, which refer to the video frame and to corresponding audio samples or parts thereof, and produced. These data structures indicate times at which the video frame and audio samples, or parts thereof, should be presented. As the data structures are passed among modules of a program, the video frames and/or audio samples to which the data structures refer may be processed. The time indicated in each data structure is preserved throughout the processing. Thus, when the data structures are passed to a file writing thread, the file writing thread can determine, from the time indicated in each data structure, the audio samples or parts thereof that should be played when corresponding video frames are displayed.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2005Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nicolas Moss, Bradley Ford
