In order to identify the source of time used in the live event, the encoder system can
insert a time mode-source code along with each embedded precision time stamp. 
Each time mode-source code will be inserted into the H.264/H.265 bitstream as an SEI
message of type User Data (Unregistered). The format is self-defined json string
