Test A/V Sync more accurately

Sample Level accuracy with A/V Sync Precision Sync Marker (PSM)

Why not just use a beep?

A conventional tone can tell you roughly where an audio event occurs, but determining the exact starting point is much harder. Its waveform doesn't provide a uniquely identifiable reference point, and real-world recording and playback can make that point even less distinct.

A/V Sync's Precision Sync Marker is designed specifically to solve this problem. Its unique coded pattern gives the system a distinctive signature to find, allowing it to determine exactly where the marker occurs in the audio stream. Once that reference is located, A/V Sync can measure the audio/video offset with sample-level precision.

Do you have EVS files you need to use elsewhere?

We have added read support for EVS MXF files including all its variants, for review, import, and transcode. EVS has a proprietary 'MXF' format they use, and EVS can also export in standard OP1a or OP-Atom containers, as well as AVI or MOV. All are fully supported by Drastic.

More importantly, we allow you to rewrite the metadata in these files.

Maybe the operator didn't specify the correct time of day during ingest? Possibly the venue or event details weren't updated with a new project? Drastic includes EVS File Metadata Rewrite capability so you can fix these types of bad metadata.
