    Abstract: A number of cameras capture a scene and send corresponding video sub-streams to an acquisition PC. Each sub-stream is made up of a plurality of sub-frames. The acquisition PC sends the sub-streams over a network to a playback PC. The playback PC stores each sub-frame in a queue corresponding to an associated sub-stream. For each sub-stream the playback PC calculates a sub-stream average period to produce a plurality of sub-stream average periods. It then calculates a composite average period by averaging the plurality of sub-stream average periods, and calculates a playback frame rate as a reciprocal of the composite average period. The playback PC then reads the sub-frames from their corresponding queue in synchronism with the calculated playback frame rate to display the plurality of sub-streams.

    Abstract translation: 许多摄像机拍摄场景并将相应的视频子流发送到采集PC。 每个子流由多个子帧组成。 采集PC通过网络将子流发送到重放PC。 播放PC将每个子帧存储在与相关联的子流对应的队列中。 对于每个子流,重放PC计算子流平均周期以产生多个子流平均周期。 然后,通过对多个子流平均周期进行平均来计算复合平均周期,并且将重放帧速率计算为复合平均周期的倒数。 然后,播放PC与所计算的播放帧速率同步地从其对应的队列中读出子帧,以显示多个子流。
