The term "near real-time" or "nearly real-time" (NRT), in telecommunications and computing, refers to the time delay introduced, by automated data processing or network transmission, between the occurrence of an event and the use of the processed data, such as for display or feedback and control purposes. For example, a near-real-time display depicts an event or situation as it existed at the current time minus the processing time, as nearly the time of the live event.
The distinction between the terms "near real time" and "real time" is somewhat nebulous and must be defined for the situation at hand. The term implies that there are no significant delays. In many cases, processing described as "real-time" would be more accurately described as "near-real-time".
Near real-time also refers to delayed real-time transmission of voice and video. It allows playing video images, in approximately real-time, without having to wait for an entire large video file to download.
Incompatible databases can export / import to common flat files that the other database can import / export on a scheduled basis so that they can sync/share common data in "near real-time" with each other.
Real-time, real time, or realtime may refer to:
Lost in your eyes this betrayal it consumes me makes
Me blind to all the times i've been let down
Now with these thoughts i hide away in my world
From your apathy it's killing me, it's forever
Can't you see the walls are falling down on me
They're closing in can't breathe and life itself
Is killing me one more life, i'll waste it why can't
You help me through this please give me, one more
Chance and i'll get it right i sweat it
Thoughts of the past drown in my mind, real time
Seems so far how could i not see this through
So leave me behind for the times that i left you
