Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for broadcasting a data stream in a network including at least two separate transmitters supplied by a head end. The stream is organized into data frames and includes at least one time marker. The method includes the following steps at the head end: obtaining a first time reference from an external source; obtaining a second time reference from the data stream received by the head end; comparing the first and second time references in order to determine a time shift between the first and second time references; and transmitting the time shift or at least one time marker modified on the basis of the time shift in order to compensate for a transport time variation between the head end and the transmitters.
