Abstract
Systems and method for synchronizing access to buffered data are disclosed. In such a method, video data is buffered in a frame buffer memory by a producer device. A write level indicator is provided to a synchronizer by the producer device. A read level indicator is provided to the synchronizer by a consumer device. The synchronizer compares the write level indicator with the read level indicator to determine a difference. The consumer device is informed by the synchronizer when the difference meets a sub-frame threshold. The consumer device reads the buffered data from the frame buffer memory on a sub-frame-by-sub-frame basis responsive to the informing.
