Title : Inter-destination Media Synchronization using the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Author(s) : Ray van Brandenburg Hans Stokking Oskar van Deventer Fernando Boronat Mario Montagud Kevin Gross Filename : draft-ietf-avtcore-idms-08.txt Pages : 22 Date : 2013-01-17 Abstract: This document defines a new RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Packet Type and RTCP Extended Report (XR) Block Type to be used for achieving Inter-Destination Media Synchronization (IDMS). IDMS is the process of synchronizing playout across multiple geographically distributed media receivers. Using the RTCP XR IDMS Reporting Block defined in this document, media playout information from participants in a synchronization group can be collected. Based on the collected information, an RTCP IDMS Settings Packet can then be send to distribute a common target playout point to which all the distributed receivers, sharing a media experience, can synchronize. Typical use cases in which IDMS is usefull are social TV, shared service control (i.e. applications where two or more geographically separated users are watching a media stream together), distance learning, networked video walls, networked loudspeakers, etc. The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtcore-idms There's also a htmlized version available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-avtcore-idms-08 A diff from the previous version is available at: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-avtcore-idms-08 Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP at: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/ _______________________________________________ I-D-Announce mailing list I-D-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/i-d-announce Internet-Draft directories: http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt
