Chapter 7. Lip Synchronization

  • Sender Behavior

  • Receiver Behavior

  • Synchronization Accuracy

A multimedia session comprises several media streams, and in RTP each is transported via a separate RTP session. Because the delays associated with different encoding formats vary greatly, and because the streams are transported separately across the network, the media will tend to have different playout times. To present multiple media in a synchronized fashion, receivers must realign the streams as shown in Figure 7.1.
