Server-Side Client Synchronization for Watch Together Applications Using CMAF Low Latency

Tech Papers 2021: A proposed scheme for "Watch Together" applications uses the built-in synchronization in CMAF low latency for DASH and HLS to achieve sub-second client time delays. This approach aims to address challenges with classical methods that involve delaying or accelerating clients and are prone to overflow/underflow situations.

Abstract

Watch Together is an application that has been widely deployed during the COVID-19 global health crisis. Early results show a much higher viewing time when the feature is activated. The synchronization between the A/V streamed content, combined with the need to have a low...
