A framework for synchronous delivery of time-dependent multimedia data

Multimedia data often have time dependencies that must be satisfied at presentation time. To support a general purpose multimedia information system, these timing relationships must be managed to provide utility to both the data presentation system and the multimedia author. Timing management encompasses specification, data representation, temporal access control, playout scheduling, and run-time intermedia synchronization. In this paper we describe the components of our framework for supporting time-dependent multimedia data encompassing these areas and how they are assembled into a unified system.
