Abstract
A sink apparatus for receiving and playing back multimedia data receives data frames and discards data frames from its processing pipeline in order to reduce latency if it is determined that an amount of media data buffered in one or more portions of the processing pipeline during a fixed playback time period is above a threshold value. The threshold value and therefore the extent to which data frames are discarded can be varied in order to balance latency and quality of the displayed multimedia data.
