public interface TimeBase
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.
