Figure 4: SMIL degrees of freedom

This is a 3D perspective view of a SMIL playlist structure. A number of media objects are shown moving along an axis labeled SEQ (time). The first object splits into three media objects, which then rejoin at the end of the visible time axis. At the top of the diagram, one of the media objects encounters a switch that allows content to adjust to a given device.
