java.lang.Object

com.peterphi.std.types.Timebase

public class Timebase
extends Object

Describes a timebase, expressed as a rational number. This is primarily designed for timebases where the numerator is 1 (i.e. where the denominator is the number of samples per second)

Constructor Detail

Timebase

public Timebase(int numerator,
                int denominator)

Parameters:

numerator - the numerator (the top part of the fraction) - generally 1

denominator - the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction) - e.g. 25 for PAL (with a numerator of 1)

Method Detail

getNumerator

public int getNumerator()

getDenominator

public int getDenominator()

getSamplesPerSecond

public double getSamplesPerSecond()

The number of samples each second

Returns:

getIntSamplesPerSecond

public int getIntSamplesPerSecond()

Samples per second, cast to an integer (accurate only if the numerator is 1)

Returns:

getSecondsPerSample

public double getSecondsPerSample()

The number of seconds each sample represents

Returns:

resample

public long resample(long samples,
                     Timebase oldRate)
