Installation

Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller

Audio/Video

may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily

Synchronization Issues

solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD Controller with a high-quality audio

 

receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video signals.

 

Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and

 

video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances.

 

According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more

 

than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45

 

milliseconds.

 

In addition, many video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs

 

to be compensated for during the installation.

 

Table 3-5shows the amount of possible audio latency given different signal input timings.
