[Work In Progress] AMWA IN-002: Time and Identity in the Dynamic Media Facility

Lint Status Zensical Render Status License Issues

This repository holds the source of a work artifact published as an AMWA Increment (IN) from the Advanced Media Workflow Association

What does it do?

  • Defines principles and rules for time alignment and stable media identity within a Dynamic Media Facility (DMF).

Why does it matter?

  • DMF processing is asynchronous, so preserving timing relationships and unique Source and Flow identities is essential for interoperable media workflows.

How does it work?

  • Establishes a common workload time domain, defines the Indexing Time Stamp (ITS), and specifies how timestamps and Source and Flow identities are propagated or changed through Media Functions.

This work artifact is published as an AMWA Increment (IN). Increments are intended to make public the ongoing progress of a working group without locking decisions into a formal specification. While the technical details contained in this repository do not constitute a stable or finalized specification, readers should note that Increments are Draft Specifications as defined in the AMWA IPR Policy. The provisions of the policy apply, including the requirement for early disclosure. You can expect the content to evolve incrementally based on ongoing testing, consensus-building, and community input. Public review is encouraged!
