It's nitial name was "retimer". After a suggestion I changed to "timer".
Other options can be "timestamp", "synchronizer", etc.
However, they're all a little vague.

Therefore, I ask someone to present an appropriate name taking
into account the objective: shifting the PTS/DTS marks of a stream.

You like "timeshift"?
