AVSTR — Timestamp format used in SFP is not adequate (AV streams issue)

  • Key: AVSTR-21
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1114
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: The timestamp format used in SFP is not adequate for many applications
    particularly non-linear editing and post-production systems. These systems
    require a more comprehensive timestamping format. Furthermore, the current
    timestamp, expressed in microseconds wraps around too quickly. This needs
    to be addressed without loss of precision.
