Sync-One2 User Guide
Overview
Within the digital Audio Visual (AV) world the audio and video signals are often processed by different
pieces of equipment, which when combined with the processing delay introduced by digital display
devices can lead to problems with audio video synchronisation – or lip sync problems. Within the realm
of digital video editing, errors can also occur if tracks are not aligned correctly or frames are dropped
during processing. These problems can occur in areas such as a home cinema, professional AV
installations such as a Lecture Theatre, post-production editing, and many more.
Sync-One2 is a small handheld device designed to aid with correct setup of AV systems and to verify the
output in the areas of post-production and general video editing. By measuring the time difference
between a pulse of light and sound, it becomes easy to get the optimal configuration for almost any AV
application, or to just check that things are as they should be.
The measurement results are available in various formats, depending on the user requirement and
combined with statistical analysis of readings help give a real indication as to what is going on in any
audio-visual system.
Sensors
The system sensors are located at the top of the unit, so when holding Sync-One2 the sensors are
naturally pointed toward the screen.
The microphone is on the left, with the light sensor on the right.
Do not cover the sensors, if covered readings may not be taken or will be inaccurate
Do not insert anything into the sensor apertures, doing so may damage Sync-One2 and prevent
correct operation
