Abstract
Methods and systems for synchronizing audio transmission in a single frequency network. Aspects of a method include preparing in a first exporter a first digital audio signal for transmission to a first exciter engine; buffering the first digital audio signal and transmitting the buffered first digital audio signal to the first exciter engine; preparing in a second exporter a second digital audio signal for transmission to a second exciter engine; buffering the second digital audio signal; transmitting the first digital audio signal from the first control unit to the second control unit; receiving control commands regarding a buffered first or second digital audio signal, wherein the second control unit transmits the buffered first or second digital audio signal dependent on the received control commands; and synchronized transmission of the buffered first digital audio signal and the buffered first or second digital audio signal based on a received trigger signal.
