Abstract
In a system for distributing data, distribution device is configured to distribute timestamp, offset and source location information for a digital data stream to an execution device, and the execution device is configured to seek digital data corresponding to the received information. The execution device is further configured to execute the digital data relative to a clock rate maintained by the distribution device. Related methods include receiving timestamp, offset and source location information for the digital data stream and seeking digital data corresponding to the received offset and source location information.
Claims29
A system for distributing digital data comprising:
- a distribution device configured to distribute timestamp, offset and source location information for a digital data stream;
- and
- an execution device configured to receive the timestamp, offset and source location information from the distribution device and to seek the digital data stream corresponding to the received offset and source location information.
A method comprising:
- receiving timestamp, offset and source location information from a digital data stream;
- and
- seeking digital data corresponding to the received offset and source location information.
