Definitions for "Isochronous"
(from the Greek "equal" and "time"; pronounced "eye-SAH-krun-us") Signal delivery capability at a specified rate, suitable for continuous data such as full-motion video and voice. Pertains to processes that require timing coordination to be successful, such as voice and digital video transmission. A sound or picture going from a peripheral computer device or across a network into a computer or television set needs to arrive at close to the same rate of data flow as the source. In feeding digital image data from a peripheral device (such as a video camera) to a display mechanism within a computer, isochronous data transfer ensures that data flows continously and at a steady rate in close timing with the ability of the display mechanism to receive and display the image data.
Refers to processes where data must be transmitted within certain time constraints, for example when streaming audio and video simultaneously for a multimedia event. Less rigid than synchronous transmission (see entry).
A communication service that requires access to guaranteed, regular time slots, such as voice telephony.
Occurring at the same time.
All devices in the network derive their timing signal directly or indirectly from the same primary reference clock. ITU --International Telecommunication Union (telecommunications standards division).
