The present invention is directed to a network system where plural
equipments are connected to network, which comprises a clock source (2)
for transmitting clocks and for transmitting time information every
predetermined time to a group of sync equipments such as speakers (5) and
a display (6), etc. which are connected to a network (1), a contents
source (4) for offering contents to the group of sync equipments through
the network, and a controller (3) for offering, to the contents source
(4), delay time based on network delay when contents data is sent to the
group of sync equipments and decode delay at the group of sync equipments
in reproducing contents to realize synchronization of clock and phase
between sync equipments connected to the network.
