As display and audio technologies move to ever more complex and higher resolution systems (4K, UHD, HDR, Dolby ATMOS etc.), the processing requirements can easily cause AV synchronisation issues. Each component change, software, or firmware update has the potential to alter the AV sync in a system. Watching content with poor AV sync is one of the most annoying and complained about problems.
Sync-One2 accurately measures the time span between an audio beep and video flash (e.g. a 2-pop / flash frame or similar), clearly displaying the delay and if the audio leads or lags with reference to the video. The error is displayed in milliseconds (1/1000th of a second) and if desired also in frames, in real time. A running average may also be enabled to average potentially 1000’s of readings, again this is displayed in milliseconds or frames. Statistics are calculated on the most recent readings taken to help check overall system stability or drift, including the average and span of the set of readings.
Sync-One2 will work with any resolution or type of display, so is 4K / UHD / HDR ready, fine with LCD, OLED, Plasma, and Projectors.
