Synchronizing Audio and Video Equipment

Avid editing systems require synchronization when capturing audio and video. 
Digital audio signals (AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and optical) contain their own 
synchronization (sync) signal. A sync signal for analog audio and analog 
video can also be generated from the connected REF signal, from incoming 
video, or internally by the Avid Adrenaline. 

n

The digital signal from a 1394 device has its own sync signal, to which the 
Avid Adrenaline synchronizes.

n

When doing a digital cut, you need to select the type of sync you are using in 
the Video Output tool.

The following list summarizes how sync works:

HD Tri-Level Sync 

— Tri-level sync signals are generated from the 

incoming tri-level house sync. If there is no sync connected, an internal 
sync is used. 

Tri-level sync works similar to an analog sync, but the tri-level sync signal 
consists of a three-level sync pulse: zero volts (0V) blank, a –0.3 V pulse, 
and a +0.3 V pulse. 

20

LTC IN

Longitudinal timecode input, female connector; can be used in 
place of 9-pin deck control when deck control is not required

21

LTC OUT

Longitudinal timecode output, male connector; master clock used 
to stripe tapes and synchronize systems to the house master clock 
(SMPTE for NTSC, and EBU for PAL)

22

MONITOR, OUT 1

¼-inch audio tip/ring/sleeve (TRS) jacks that each output one 
channel (left/right) of audio to speakers. The audio feeding this 
connection is from the incoming or outgoing audio. 

c

This TRS jack provides balanced professional level 
audio to your speaker system. Do not use ¼ mono cables 
in this connector, as your output levels might be too 
high.
