Multiprocessor systems for processing multimedia data and methods thereof

A method for processing multimedia data in a multiprocessor system, the method comprising:

• enabling communication between a plurality of processors;
• capturing portions of multimedia data selectively by the plurality of processors;
• encoding the portions of the multimedia data captured by the plurality of processors;
• providing the portions of the multimedia data to a synchronizer;
• and
• synchronizing the portions of the multimedia data by the synchronizer.

A system for processing multimedia data, the system comprising:

• a master processor for synchronizing the portions of the multimedia data, wherein the master processor further comprises:
• a synchronizer for synchronizing the portions of the multimedia data;
• a performing module for performing at least one of:
• queuing the portions of the multimedia data to be played;
• playing the portions of the multimedia data;
• and
• skipping the portions of the multimedia data based on the synchronizing;
• and
• an inter processor communication channel connecting a plurality of sub processors for processing portions of multimedia data selectively.

A method for processing multimedia data in a multiprocessor system including a master processor and at least one sub-processor in communication with the master processor, the method comprising:

• transmitting a queue decoded video command from the master processor to the at least one sub processor responsive to the master processor determining that decoded video portions of the multimedia data having associated synchronized time that is after current decoded audio portions to be played;
• transmitting a play decoded video command from the master processor to the at least one sub processor responsive to the master processor determining that decoded video portions of the multimedia data having associated synchronized time that is about concurrent with current decoded audio portions to be played;
• and
• transmitting a skip decoded video command from the master processor to the at least one sub processor responsive to the master processor determining that decoded video portions of the multimedia data having associated synchronized time that is before current decoded audio portions to be played.
