The invention relates to a signal source synchronization detection method, which is used for detecting the synchronism of each part of a signal source in a distributed spliced display picture, and comprises the following steps of: continuously generating a plurality of original signal frames, so that each frame comprises n parts, and each part comprises a common characteristic; the number of the nbeing the same as that of the decoders, and n being greater than 1; continuously inputting the plurality of original signal frames into an encoder; encoding, by the encoder, a received original signal frame into n parts, so that each part comprises the common features; sequentially sending data to each decoder, wherein the data comprising one encoding part; and decoding the respective received data and outputting respective decoded content to the respective corresponding screen by each decoder, and displaying the respective decoded content by the respective corresponding screen. According tothe invention, the problem in synchronization detection for all parts of a signal source in the distributed spliced display picture in the prior art can be visually and effectively solved.
