Hi all, In collaboration with Vicometch-IK4, we did some tests of HbbTV 1.5 to see if we could manage to exploit Shared Motions[1] to add sync capabilities to existing smart TVs. The HbbTV 1.5 does not have any explicit support … Continue reading
Hi all, after a bug report about our variable playbackRate detector being too eager, I did a proper stress test of Firefox and Chrome on Linux to test the new media sync code. I made a video if you want … Continue reading
Hi all, I’d like to give a quick update on some developments on Chrome, and some relevant points we have discovered. The Unified Media Pipeline (can be enabled on Android Dev and Beta channels using chrome://flags) gives us variable playback … Continue reading
Hi all, I did some experiments using the Shaka MPEG DASH player, which lends itself quite nicely to synchronization using the Timing object/Shared Motions. I used the DashCast streamer to create a looping live stream with a 5 minute or … Continue reading
Hi all, time for a new demonstration! As we are working on the HTML5 Timing Object, it is nice to visualize how it can be used. In this demonstration, we show how we map data onto a timeline. This is … Continue reading
Hi all, we created this little and slightly silly demonstration of multi-device timing. The devices play separate ogg or mp3 tracks. You can test it yourself if you like on http://mcorp.no/examples/multitrack/ – note that all devices that connect will be in … Continue reading
Hi All, In order to demonstrate multi-device timing, we create demonstrations from time to time. You might have seen the Carnival video posted earlier, which demonstrated video synchronization of on demand content. As a second demonstration, we’ve looked into live audio. … Continue reading
