Abstract

Methods and devices for inserting an event into a transport flow, for monitoring, managing and receiving the transport flow, and computer program all corresponding thereto. The invention relates to a method for monitoring a transport flow at the output of an equipment of a broadcast network, implementing at least one iteration of the following steps: —obtaining (61) the transport flow delivered by said equipment, —detecting (62) a current event packet associated with content carried by said transport flow, said event packet carrying a synchronization header comprising: —reference time information defined with respect to a reference clock of said content; —a desired delay between said current event packet and a reference packet of said content identified based on said reference time information, —determining (63) an offset between an actual position of said current event packet in said transport flow and a desired position of said current event packet in said transport flow, determined based on said reference time information and on said desired delay, called processing offset.
