10.6.5 Time-code Jitter
The variation in time to propagate a time-code through a routing switch.
Time-code jitter occurs in the synchronisation handshaking circuits and the transmitter where the
maximum delay time the time-code has to wait to be transmitted is one data character. The jitter is
measured as
