A TimeBase is a constantly ticking source of time.
It measures the progress of time and
provides the basic means for synchronizing media playback for
Players.
A TimeBase measures time in microseconds in
order to provide the necessary resolution for synchronization.
It is acknowledged that some implementations may not be able to
support time resolution in the microseconds range. For such
implementations, the internal representation of time can be done
within their limits.
But the time reported via the API must be scaled to the microseconds
range.
Manager.getSystemTimeBase provides the default
TimeBase used by the system. |
