The Original Publisher stamps each object with when it should be played out and when it was sent. Relays replace the send-time stamp with their own clock as they forward, giving each subscriber a fresh timing reference from its nearest relay. Subscribers use these timestamps to decide when to render each object, and report their sync state directly to a coordination server (PlaySyncServer) that can tell the media publisher to adjust timing when subscribers fall behind.}, }
