Abstract
Inter-Destination Multimedia Synchronization (IDMS) is essential in most of the emerging social multimedia applications. In this paper we present a novel Adaptive Media Playout (AMP) scheme that aims to acquire an overall synchronization status between distributed receivers by means of smoothly adjusting their playout timing. Simulation results show that the proposed solution minimizes long-term playout discontinuities (skips and/or pauses) which are subjectively more annoying to users than small variations in the media playout rate.
