Real Time Synchronization of Live Broadcast Streams with User Generated Content and Social Network Streams
conference paper
This paper describes the work in the FP7 STEER project on augmenting a live broadcast with live user generated content. This user generated content consists of both video content, captured with mobile devices, and social network content, such as Facebook or Twitter messages. To enable multi-source synchronization, all content sources need to time stamp the content using synchronized clocks. For synchronized play out we use a synchronization server to control the output timing of the various content. Using social analytics, we determine the most relevant social network messages to present synchronously with the broadcast. A main part of our future research in the project will focus on determining the optimal timing of such social content with a live broadcast.
