I'm not sure I like overloading the term jitter in this context. The title made me assume they meant packet jitter, aka the standard deviation around packet delivery times, which video is sensitive to when not taken into account. This is a similar concept around cache and resource access times, but a desirable property rather than a something to deal with or eliminate.
- simmons 15y agoHeh. I've been immersed in video coding for the past few weeks, so not only was I shocked and intrigued at the title, but it took me a few passes to realize what was actually being said. :)
- nitrogen 15y agoThe term jitter is also used in a digital audio context to describe the deviation of a sample rate from its ideal value, so the usage in this context doesn't seem like much of a stretch to me. Edit to add: an old but interesting reference I found via Google: http://www.regonaudio.com/Jitter.html http://www.regonaudio.com/Jitter.html
