Re: SMPTE parsing algorithm?



Just for the sake of completeness, shifting samples and time
stretching are two different things. I don't believe that jitter
correction (no matter if it is just a low frequency drift or a high
frequency jitter) can be successfully corrected using time stretching.
If the clock error can be estimated you could interpolate the samples
back onto a regular grid, which is exactly what varispeed does. The
varispeed pitch control would in this case be controlled by the output
of your FIR filter that does the averaging.

I agree completely.
