  • Methods and systems to facilitate synchronization of multiple media streams
    Patent number: 9794313
    Abstract: A method can include receiving, at a given node, a continuous stream of input media from a media source. A value can be computed as a function of each of a plurality of data blocks of the continuous stream of input media received by the given node. The method can also include receiving, at the given node, values computed for a plurality of data blocks of the continuous stream received by another node. A set of the received values from the other node can be correlated with a set of the computed values for the given node to determine an offset between the blocks of the continuous stream of input media that are received by the given node and the blocks of the continuous stream of input media that are received by the other node.

  • Synchronization of streaming data
    Patent number: 9706509
    Abstract: An apparatus can include an interface to receive and send inter-node communications messages with respect to at least one other node. A synchronization control can implement a synchronization protocol for controlling synchronization of content chunks generated for at least one content stream based on synchronization data. The synchronization control can determine the synchronization data for the content stream (i) based on synchronization information provided in an information message received from the other node if the other node has a greater priority or (ii) based on self-established synchronization information if the other node has a lower priority.
