Issue 1114:  Timestamp format used in SFP is not adequate (AV streams issue) (issues)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Revision
Severity: 
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.

Subject: One more issue for A/V Streams

Hi, just one more issue here for the A/V Streams RTF:

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.

Regards,
Damian
