Abstract

See full text

A device receives first and second data streams representing an audio and/or video content. The device is configured beforehand so as to disseminate the content from the first stream. Following a command for switching from the first stream to the second stream, the device determines by correlation a reference point in the first stream and in the second stream, and determines an offset in time from time-stamping information associated with the reference point in each of the first and second streams. Before switching, the device: pauses the second stream until the offset in time is absorbed when the offset in time indicates that the first stream is late; decreases a frame rate of the first stream until the offset in time is absorbed when the offset in time indicates that the first stream is in advance.
