I don’t remember the first time I saw this word but I suspect the word multiplex is not the proper one. How would you name this:

Shot name is multiplexed as 15:17, where:
* The first 15 bits stores the sequence number.
* The last 17 bits stores the shot number.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Thanks all! So it seems packed is the proper word. With pack/unpack being the name of the process.

    I suppose multiplexing could be considered the right name… multiplexing is putting two signals into a single one. So by the example, if you pack 15 and 17 into a single 32 bit, it’s kind of multiplexing.

    Especially if you send it as one thing, and unpack it later, which would be the demultiplexing
