Systems, methods and computer-readable media for configuring receiver latency
First Claim
1. A method for synchronising play out of a media channel among a plurality of receiving devices in communication with a network, characterized by the steps of:
- providing a shared concept of time to a plurality of receiving devices in communication with a network;
obtaining a minimum latency value and a maximum latency value for each of the plurality of receiving devices;
communicating the minimum latency value and the maximum latency value for each of the plurality of receiving devices;
choosing a current latency value based on the minimum latency value and the maximum latency value for each of the plurality of receiving devices; and
playing out the media channel from the plurality of receiving devices according to the current latency valuewherein communicating the minimum latency value and the maximum latency value for each of the plurality of receiving devices further comprises posting to a database.
