摘要:
A system is provided for enabling correlating timeline information between a first media stream and a second media stream which are both associated with a common play-out timeline. The system comprises at least two stream monitors arranged for providing identification information for a media stream by obtaining a persistent identification of one or more media samples of the media stream, determining a timestamp value associated with the persistent identification, and providing the timestamp value and the persistent identification as the identification information. Furthermore, a correlation subsystem is provided for combining the identification information to enable correlating timeline information of the first media stream to timeline information of the second media stream by matching a first persistent identification of the first media stream to a second persistent identification of the second media stream and thereby matching a first timestamp value of the first media stream to a second timestamp value of the second media stream. The system enables media synchronization to be provided for a plurality of devices in a segment of a media distribution network with less computational complexity and/or bandwidth.

An address for controlling transmission of routing through a network is obtained by means of input from a combination of network terminals. Initially, address describing data is received from a user via a source terminal. A control circuit determines whether the address describing data is sufficient to define an address of a destination. If not, the control circuit uses the address describing data to extract information must be met by the destination, but for which it is not known for specific destinations whether it is met. The information may define a desired property of the destination for example, or a mutual relation between the user and the destination. The control circuit then transmits a confirmation request to one or more possible destinations, to ask whether information relates to the possible destination. If a positive confirmation is received back from a possible destination, the address of this possible destination is used. Information that the information relates to the possible destination may be stored to resolve future address describing information.

A system is provided for enabling correlating timeline information between a first media stream and a second media stream, with the first media stream and the second media stream being both associated with a common play-out timeline. The system comprises at least two content monitors, each arranged for providing a persistent identification of one or more media samples of a media stream. The system further comprises a correlation subsystem arranged for receiving a first persistent identification related in time with a second persistent identification, receiving a first timestamp value of the first media stream related in time with a second timestamp value of the second media stream, matching the first persistent identification to a first play-out time on the common play-out timeline and the second persistent identification to a second play-out time, and generating correlation information based on a comparison of the first play-out time with the second play-out time for enabling correlating the first timestamp value with the second timestamp value and thereby correlating the first timeline information with the second timeline information.
