In 2011, a panel of over 75 Professional Media experts in the Professional Media industry began using the phrase "Isochronous & Temporaneous" to describe the characteristics of streaming media, for both linear broadcasts (live television) and for Video-On-Demand applications (clips played upon consumer request, e.g., VOD, Web Clips, and Internet/Web Multimedia). Originally, the term "Isochronous" was used solely to describe the delivery characteristics required for media applications and the delivery of media over networks. However, "Isochronous" alone did not communicate the full requirement of media conveyance over a network properly and Information Technology experts falsely believed that the fastest transfer rates and data loss prevention were favorable to a precisely timed delivery where data loss is preferred to out of sequence playback. (It's less noticeable to repeat the same frame 10 times than to play old frames out of sequence).

Due to the large size of audiovisual content streams in Professional Media applications (40 to 100 Mbps per video stream, 2 video streams for 3D applications, and 1 stream for each camera in a sporting event) and the high cost associated to the large high-performance buffers needed to store significant quantities of audiovisual content for frame-accurate processing, the panel decided that they needed to devise a new term or phrase that would properly convey the network streaming requirement for Professional Media and Internet media applications, the phrase "Isochronous & Temporaneous" was chosen as it was the only phrase found that conveyed the fundamental media streaming principle "delivered in even increments and arriving at the right time," which accurately depicts the network streaming requirement for streamed media for viewing and editing purposes. This requirement does not apply to the copying of media files but applies to all streaming applications, including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, as well as Over-The-Top (OTT), and TV Everywhere. — This unsigned comment was added by Posicks (talkcontribs).
