## javax.microedition.media
Interface TimeBase

public interface TimeBase

A `TimeBase` is a constantly ticking source of time. It measures the progress of time and provides the basic means for synchronizing media playback for `Player`s.

A `TimeBase` measures time in microseconds in order to provide the necessary resolution for synchronization. It is acknowledged that some implementations may not be able to support time resolution in the microseconds range. For such implementations, the internal representation of time can be done within their limits. But the time reported via the API must be scaled to the microseconds range.

`Manager.getSystemTimeBase` provides the default `TimeBase` used by the system.
