+
+Delay video filtering until a given wallclock timestamp. The filter first
+passes on @option{preroll} amount of frames, then it buffers at most
+@option{buffer} amount of frames and waits for the cue. After reaching the cue
+it forwards the buffered frames and also any subsequent frames coming in its
+input.
+
+The filter can be used synchronize the output of multiple ffmpeg processes for
+realtime output devices like decklink. By putting the delay in the filtering
+chain and pre-buffering frames the process can pass on data to output almost
+immediately after the target wallclock timestamp is reached.
+
+Perfect frame accuracy cannot be guaranteed, but the result is good enough for
+some use cases.
