SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF INDEPENDENTLY ENCODED MEDIA STREAMS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250008181 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF INDEPENDENTLY ENCODED MEDIA STREAMS

Original Abstract Submitted

a method includes receiving, by a processor, from a first server, a first plurality of frames associated with a media item. each frame of the first plurality of frames is associated with a respective timestamp of a first plurality of timestamps generated by the first server. a second plurality of frames associated with the media item are received from a second server. the second plurality of frames are each associated with a respective timestamp of a second plurality of timestamps generated by the second server. an offset value between a first timestamp of the first plurality of timestamps and a second timestamp of the second plurality of timestamps is determined. a modified plurality of frames is generated by modifying, based on the offset value, each timestamp of a subset of the second plurality of timestamps. the modified plurality of frames is sent to the client device.
