<timeDelim>

A delimiter for a piece of streaming media content, expressed in various time formats

Declared locally only; it is not a valid document root.

Note

Usage note

User Note: The time unit may take the following values, taken from an IPTC defined controlled vocabulary:

timecode: An SMPTE timecode containing a string encoded identification. Timestamp format: hh:mm:ss:ff (ff for frames).

timeCodeDropFrame: An SMPTE timecode containing a string encoded identification.

Timestamp format: hh:mm:ss:ff (ff for frames). The drop frame flag should be set.

editUnit: The editUnit is the amount of time per video frame (1s / number of frames per second) or the amount of time per audio sample (1s / number of samples per second), for which the video frame rate or audio sample rate must be known. Timestamp format: long unsigned integer.

normalPlayTime: Indicates the position relative to the beginning of the presentation. Timestamp format: hh:mm:ss.mmm (mmm for milliseconds). See also: RFC 2326.

seconds: Time given in full seconds. Timestamp format: long unsigned integer.

milliseconds: Time given in full milliseconds. Timestamp format: long unsigned integer.

Implementation Note: If a time unit IS NOT present, the value editUnit MUST be assumed. Any timestamps MUST be formatted appropriately for the time unit (as detailed above). All timestamps SHOULD be zero-padded from the left as applicable, e.g. a normalPlayTime value starting at 12 seconds would be represented as ‘00:00:12.000’.

`timeunit`	`QCodeType`	optional	The unit used for the start and end timestamps - expressed by a QCode / either the timeunit or the timeunituri attribute MUST be used
