View Source Membrane.Time (Membrane Core v1.1.1)

Module containing functions needed to perform handling of time.

Membrane always internally uses nanosecond as a time unit. This is how all time units should represented in the code unless there's a good reason to act differently.

Please note that Erlang VM may internally use different units and that may differ from platform to platform. Still, unless you need to perform calculations that do not touch hardware clock, you should use Membrane units for consistency.
