Zusammenfassung:Provided are methods and systems for synchronizing clocks between data modules operating in parallel on an access point using Wi-Fi beacons as a reference. The methods and systems are designed to achieve and maintain highly accurate synchronization (e.g., < 20 microseconds ([mu]s)) between different modules by utilizing Wi-Fi beacons generated by the access point as a reference when estimating rendering time. Using such Wi-Fi beacons as a reference only, and not as the actual clock, ensures that all of the data modules' clocks remain synchronized, thus allowing for coherent rendering of data across all modules included in the system. 提供了用于使用Wi-Fi信标作为参考来使在接入点上并行操作的数据模块之间的时钟同步的方法和系统。该方法和系统被设计成在估计渲染时间时通过利用接入点所生成的Wi-Fi信标作为参考来实现并维持不同模块之间的高度精确同步(例如
