- Method Detail
  - convert
```
public static long convert(long timeValue,
                           double fromResolution,
                           double toResolution)
```
    Convert a time value from one resolution to another resolution. Note that this method may result in a loss of precision.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeValue - input time value in type 'long'
    
    fromResolution - the resolution associated with timeValue
    
    toResolution - the resolution it's converting to
    
    Returns:
    
    the new time value.
  - compare
```
public static int compare(metroIIcomm.Event.Time time1,
                          metroIIcomm.Event.Time time2)
```
    Compare two timetags.
    
    Parameters:
    
    time1 - the first timetag to be compared
    
    time2 - the second timetag to be compared
    
    Returns:
    
    a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first timetag is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
