Create a new subcategory "design/architecture/time" and rearrange several pages related to time handling and time codes. NOTE: starting with this changeset, a ''Link-Farm'' is required for cross-links; since we don't have an automatic solution for this task yet, I have created the necessary forwarding pages manually in the website repository.

This section will feature some rather high-level considerations regarding
|
|
the architecture of the application.
|
|
|
|
.Executive Summary
|
|
See link:ArchitectureSummary.html[here] for a short summary of the core architecture
|
|
ideas of the envisioned Lumiera Application.
|
|
|
|
.Time and Time-code
|
|
link:time/[Handling of time values] and link:time/TimeCode.html[Time Code] is
|
|
essential for an editing application and requires some forethought to avoid
|
|
some of the common inconsistencies and pitfalls; precision can be a challenge,
|
|
given the extremely large range of time scales to cover.
|
|
|
|
.Rendering and Playback Control
|
|
This part of the architecture is concened with how to initiate, coordinate and control
|
|
the calculation processes necessary to generate visible / audible data from our source
|
|
media. This design is _not so much_ concerned with the actual calculations; indeed it
|
|
takes on an ``bird eye's view'', treating the actual render engine mostly just as an
|
|
opaque entity providing some service.
