1. A device for use with a first video feed and a second video feed, the device comprising:

  • a receiver operable to receive the first video feed, to receive the second video feed, to generate a first output video based on the first video feed, and to generate a second output video based on the second video feed; and

    a processor and a synchronizer coupled to the receiver, the processor and the synchronizer configured to;

    detect a first discontinuity between sequential frames of the first video feed;

    detect a second discontinuity between sequential frames of the first video feed;

    detect a third discontinuity between sequential frames of the second video feed;

    detect a fourth discontinuity between sequential frames of the second video feed;

    insert a synchronization point in the first output video based on the first discontinuity and a synchronization point in the second output video based on the third discontinuity;

    align the second output video with the first output video by matching the synchronization point based on the first discontinuity with the synchronization point based on the third discontinuity;

    insert a synchronization point in the first output video based on the second discontinuity and a synchronization point in the second output video based on the fourth discontinuity; and

    adjust the alignment of the first output video and the second output video by further aligning the second output video with the first output video to match the synchronization point based on the second discontinuity with the synchronization point based on the fourth discontinuity.
