    Abstract: A set-top box comprising a housing includes a first main face, a second main face, at least one lateral flank connecting the first lateral face to the second lateral face. The set-top box includes at least one optical sensor the field of vision of which is centred around a given line of vision, said line of vision being inclined vis-à-vis a given plane, when the set-top box is placed on a base, the flank being provided with at least one opening passing through the flank so as to lead to a first end outside of the housing and to a second end inside the housing, the optical sensor being arranged in the housing, such that said line of vision passes through the flank via said opening.

    Abstract: A processor device for processing an incoming audio stream, the device including: a configuration element arranged to acquire input parameters having both first characteristics of the incoming audio stream and also second characteristics of the audio playback devices, and to produce configuration parameters on the basis of the input parameters; a master element arranged to define processing sequences from the configuration parameters, each processing sequence being associated with and adapted to a respective playback channel, to apply the processing sequences to the incoming audio stream so as to produce processed audio streams, each adapted to a respective one of the playback channels, and to transmit to each piece of equipment including an audio playback device the processed audio stream is adapted to the playback channel associated with the audio playback device.

    Abstract: A measurement method for measuring video latency induced by a piece of video playback equipment that is connected to a piece of decoder equipment having a photosensitive sensor incorporated therein, the method including the steps of: causing a screen of the video playback equipment to generate emitted light test signals; using the photosensitive sensor to acquire captured light signals including received light test signals resulting from the emitted light test signals being reflected on at least one surface of surroundings of the video playback equipment; acquiring measurement signals produced by the photosensitive sensor from the captured light signals, and analyzing the measurement signals in order to obtain a video latency measurement.

    Abstract: A method of decoding an incoming audio/video stream received by a decoder box that is connected to audio playback equipment and to video playback equipment, the method comprising the steps of evaluating an audio latency and a video latency; if the audio (or respectively video) latency is greater than the video (or resp. audio) latency, testing a first condition to ensure that the time difference (Δt_a, Δt_v) between the presentation time stamp of the audio (or resp. video) samples and the reference clock signal is sufficient, and if the first condition is satisfied, acting, when decoding the audio (or resp. video), to decrease the presentation time stamp of the audio (or resp. video) samples in order to advance playback of the audio (or resp. video) samples, thereby compensating at least in part the latency difference between the audio (or resp. video) latency and the video (or resp. audio) latency.
