I don’t remember the first time I saw this word but I suspect the word multiplex is not the proper one. How would you name this:
Shot name is multiplexed as 15:17, where:
* The first 15 bits stores the sequence number.
* The last 17 bits stores the shot number.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Thanks all! So it seems packed is the proper word. With pack/unpack being the name of the process.
Yeah that’s a good suggestion. A common way to refer to low-level memory structures e.g. C structs. Bit packing, padding, and alignment.
