Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to synchronization between multiple displays for audio and/or visual content. Video, movie, television, live broadcast, streaming or online content typically include visual content and corresponding audio content synchronized to the visual content, i.e., a particular audio frame is set to be play backed at the same time a particular video frame is displayed. The present disclosure provides for delaying the presentation of visual content with respect to one or more displays in order to synchronize the presentation of the visual content on the displays.
Claims20
A method for synchronizing content playback over multiple displays comprising:
- displaying visual content for presentation on a first display of the multiple displays;
- receiving a user input selecting the visual content;
- receiving a delay amount to delay presentation of the visual content on a second display of the multiple displays;
- and
- displaying, by a processing element, a delayed visual content for presentation on the second display, wherein the delayed visual content comprises the visual content delayed by the delay amount such that presentation of the visual content on the first display is synchronized with the presentation of the delayed visual content on the second display.
A system for synchronizing content comprising:
- a workstation, the workstation including:
- a processing element;
- a memory component in communication with the processing element and storing visual content retrievable by the processing element;
- a video interface operable to transmit the visual content to a first display and a second display, wherein the processing element is operable to transmit, via the video interface, the visual content to one of the first or second displays and to delay transmission of the visual content by a delay amount to the other of the first or second displays.
A non-transitory computer storage medium including instructions that when executed by at least one processor of a computing system cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
- displaying visual content for presentation on a first display;
- receiving a user input selecting the visual content;
- receiving a delay amount to delay presentation of the visual content on a second display;
- and
- displaying a delayed visual content for presentation on the second display comprising the visual content delayed by the delay amount, wherein presentation of the visual content on the first display is synchronized with the presentation of the delayed visual content on the second display.
