That is one of the main advantages that we're hoping to provide, and as we've been seeing, is that you can get data in and out faster which means it is much more likely you can do realtime effects while still keeping the flow going. The media system allows you to actually calculate this latency on the fly. So each of the nodes and the applications can determine roughly how much time it will actually take to do things and act accordingly. And that's good because it allows you to be pretty flexible. So if things change you can make adjustments and keep playing correctly.
Time can come from any source.
We have a concept of a timer inside the kit called a time source that anyone can set up. So you can have a black burst external clock. If someone writes a time source node for it, everyone can work with that. You have the audio in. The video input has a clock in it.
