Abstract

Synchronizing multimedia playback among geographically distributed clients is a challenging task and is referred to as Inter-Destination Media Synchronization (IDMS). In this paper we discuss the uses cases of IDMS as identified within the SocialSensor Project and based on these use cases we derive a novel Adaptive Media Playout (AMP) scheme which aims on carrying out the process of synchronizing the media playback at the clients to a given synchronization point. We propose how visual and acoustic features can be used to achieve a QoE-aware and context-aware AMP scheme.
