# timescale

The identifier’s timescale is the number of uniquely identifiable timestamps in a second.

```
var timescale: Int
```

## Discussion

For example an audio file sampled at 44,100 Hz should have a timescale value of 44,100 (or an integer multiple
of that) so that every sample has a unique timestamp.
