Methods for changing time intervals of the occurrence of audio information from local and remote sites
View Patent ↗A method of processing audio information for broadcast to an audience can include changing first audio information from occurring in a first time interval to occurring in a second time interval to provide time-changed audio information. The time-changed audio information can be combined with second audio information that is responsive to the first audio information to provide broadcast audio information.
1. A method of processing audio information for broadcast to an audience comprising:
changing first audio information from occurring in a first time interval to occurring in a second time interval to provide time-changed audio information; and
combining the time-changed audio information with second audio information that is responsive to the first audio information to provide broadcast audio information wherein a difference between the first time interval and the second time interval is based on a delay between a transmission time at which the first audio information is transmitted from a source to a destination and a reception time at which the first audio information is received at the destination.
2. A method of processing audio information for broadcast to an audience comprising:
changing first audio information from occurring in a first time interval to occurring in a second time interval to provide time-changed audio information; and
combining the time-changed audio information with second audio information that is responsive to the first audio information to provide broadcast audio information wherein a difference between the first time interval and the second time interval is based on a delay between a transmission time at which the second audio information is transmitted from a source to a destination and a reception time at which the second audio information is received at the destination.
3. A method of processing audio information for broadcast to an audience comprising:
changing first audio information from occurring in a first time interval to occurring in a second time interval to provide time-changed audio information; and
combining the time-changed audio information with second audio information that is responsive to the first audio information to provide broadcast audio information wherein a difference between the first time interval and the second time interval is based on a first delay between a first transmission time at which the first audio information is transmitted from a source to a destination and a first reception time at which the first audio information is received at the destination and further based on a difference between the first time interval and the second time interval is based on a second delay between a second transmission time at which the second audio information is transmitted from the destination to the source and a second reception time at which the second audio information is received at the source.
4. A method according to claim 1 wherein the at least one of the first and second audio information is transmitted over a satellite communications link.
5. A method according to claim 1 wherein the at least one of the first and second audio information is transmitted over a voice over IP communications link.
6. A method according to claim 5 wherein the delay is estimated based on a quality of service parameter associated with the voice over IP communications link.
