14. A method for providing multimedia content from an external device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first signal from a client device and, responsively, sending a response signal indicating a readiness to receive first content, the response signal including performance characteristics of the external device;
receiving the first content from the client device, the first content related to second content presented at a display device, the first content encoded in a digital stream, wherein the step of receiving first content includes receiving synchronization information from the client device, wherein the synchronization information includes at least one of presentation time stamps, decoding time stamps, and embedded synchronization instructions;
decoding the digital stream to produce decoded first content; and
presenting the decoded first content in synchronization with the presentation of the second content at the display device, wherein the first content and the decoded first content includes at least one of audio samples, video samples, and text.

28. A method for providing multimedia content from an external device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first signal from a client device and, responsively, sending a response signal indicating a readiness to receive first content, the response signal including performance characteristics of the external device;
receiving the first content from a client device, the first content related to second content presented at a display device, wherein the step of receiving first content includes receiving embedded instructions specifying that the presentation of the first content occur in response to at least one of environmental stimuli, an elapsed time, a defined time, and user activation, wherein the first content includes at least one of audio samples, video samples, and text; and
presenting the first content at a time after the presentation of the second content at the display device.
