Synchronizing

Last updated

In telecommunication, the term synchronizing has the following meanings:

Telecommunication transmission of information between locations using electromagnetics

Telecommunication is the transmission of signs, signals, messages, words, writings, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems. Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between communication participants includes the use of technology. It is transmitted either electrically over physical media, such as cables, or via electromagnetic radiation. Such transmission paths are often divided into communication channels which afford the advantages of multiplexing. Since the Latin term communicatio is considered the social process of information exchange, the term telecommunications is often used in its plural form because it involves many different technologies.

  1. Achieving and maintaining synchronism.
  2. In fax, achieving and maintaining predetermined speed relations between the scanning spot and the recording spot within each scanning line.

In the civilian community, the noun " synchronization " is preferred to "synchronizing."

Synchronization coordination of events to operate a system in unison

Synchronization is the coordination of events to operate a system in unison. The conductor of an orchestra keeps the orchestra synchronized or in time. Systems that operate with all parts in synchrony are said to be synchronous or in sync—and those that are not are asynchronous.

SMPTE timecode is a set of cooperating standards to label individual frames of video or film with a timecode. The system is defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers in the SMPTE 12M specification. SMPTE revised the standard in 2008, turning it into a two-part document: SMPTE 12M-1 and SMPTE 12M-2, including new explanations and clarifications.

Telecine

Telecine is the process of transferring motion picture film into video and is performed in a color suite. The term is also used to refer to the equipment used in the post-production process. Telecine enables a motion picture, captured originally on film stock, to be viewed with standard video equipment, such as television sets, video cassette recorders (VCR), DVD, Blu-ray Disc or computers. Initially, this allowed television broadcasters to produce programmes using film, usually 16mm stock, but transmit them in the same format, and quality, as other forms of television production. Furthermore, telecine allows film producers, television producers and film distributors working in the film industry to release their products on video and allows producers to use video production equipment to complete their filmmaking projects. Within the film industry, it is also referred to as a TK, because TC is already used to designate timecode.

Utility software is system software designed to help to analyze, configure, optimize or maintain a computer. It is used to support the computer infrastructure - in contrast to application software, which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Utilities often form part of application systems however. For example a batch job may run user-written code to update a database and may then include a step that runs a utility to back up the database, or a job may run a utility to compress a disk before copying files.

Clock synchronization is a topic in computer science and engineering that aims to coordinate otherwise independent clocks. Even when initially set accurately, real clocks will differ after some amount of time due to clock drift, caused by clocks counting time at slightly different rates. There are several problems that occur as a result of clock rate differences and several solutions, some being more appropriate than others in certain contexts.

Mechanical television television system that relies on a mechanical scanning device, such as a rotating disk with holes in it or a rotating mirror, to scan the scene and generate the video signal, and a similar mechanical device at the receiver to display the picture

Mechanical television or mechanical scan television is a television system that relies on a mechanical scanning device, such as a rotating disk with holes in it or a rotating mirror, to scan the scene and generate the video signal, and a similar mechanical device at the receiver to display the picture. This contrasts with modern television technology, which uses electronic scanning methods, for example electron beams in cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions, and liquid-crystal displays (LCD), to create and display the picture.

File synchronization in computing is the process of ensuring that computer files in two or more locations are updated via certain rules.

Scan-based trading (SBT) is the process where suppliers maintain ownership of inventory within retailers' warehouses or stores until items are scanned at the point of sale.

Synchronization of TV transmitter and receiver

In general, synchronizations is the process in which the signals are transmitted and received in accordance with the clock pulses. In synchronization of Television transmitter, a sharp pulse is sent between each video signal line so that to maintain the impeccable transmitter-receiver synchronization. The receiver detects the video signal, synchronizing the transmitter and receiver is necessary to overcome the delay between different video packet arrivals. The receiver must start scanning same line on the CRT output display or picture tube when the TV camera starts scanning that line, these are the horizontal lines that are being scanned. The scanning speed of transmitter and receiver must be same so as to avoid signal distortion and deformation at the image in receiver output. When horizontal lines are completely scanned, vertical flyback or retrace must occur simultaneously at both transmitter and receiver moving the electron beam from bottom line end to the start of the top line. When the electron beam is returned to the left-hand side to start tracing a new line during the horizontal retrace, must occur inadvertently at both transmitter and receiver.
