    Abstract: A terminal apparatus and a method for time synchronization are provided. The method includes setting a reference time for a time synchronization with another terminal apparatus, transmitting a sync signal comprising the set reference time to the other terminal apparatus, and if a response signal to the sync signal is received from the other terminal apparatus, performing the time synchronization with the other terminal apparatus based on a transmission time of the sync signal and a reception time of the response signal. Therefore, a terminal apparatus further simply and rapidly performs a time synchronization with another terminal apparatus.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for allowing a plurality of playback devices to stream content of a master device simultaneously is provided. When the master device selects one of the playback devices as a reference device and multicasts a synchronization packet to the playback devices, the playback devices determine a synchronization time by comparing their own synchronization packet reception time with a synchronization packet reception time of the reference device. When the master device streams content, into which a time stamp is inserted based on the time of the reference device, the playback devices play the content based on the determined synchronization time. Therefore, even when the playback devices have different network latencies from the master device, the playback devices may accurately perform synchronized content playback.

    Abstract translation: 提供一种用于允许多个回放设备同时流式传输主设备的内容的设备和方法。 当主设备选择播放设备中的一个作为参考设备并且向播放设备多播同步分组时,回放设备通过将其自己的同步分组接收时间与参考设备的同步分组接收时间进行比较来确定同步时间。 当主设备基于参考设备的时间流式传输其中插入时间戳的内容时,播放设备基于所确定的同步时间播放内容。 因此,即使重放装置与主装置具有不同的网络延迟,回放装置也可以准确地执行同步的内容再现。
