System Clock Reference (SCR) is a time stamp in the program stream, as opposed to the Program Clock Reference (PCR), which appears in the transport stream.  In most common cases, the SCR values and PCR values function identically; however, the maximum allowed interval between SCRs is 700ms, while the maximum between PCRs is 100ms.
