The AV-Sync Testmode is a Podcatcher mode which gives acces to 2 AV-Sync specific features to setup your AV-Sync clips. The mode is used for the following cases:

  • To determine the desired AV-Sync offset
  • Measure an estimate for the AV-Sync loopdelay.

Note: when you are already content with the synchronization between the Podcatcher audio and the video, you do not require these features.

Usage

The AV-Sync testmode is activated by removing the Podcatcher from the dock whilst holding the middle (B) and right (C) buttons at the same time. The testmode is recognised by the yellow led which blinks together with the green led when a tour is started.

AV-Sync offset

The AV-Sync offset is used to adjust the synchronization between the Podcatcher audio and the video by playing the audio a fraction earlier or later.

The following instructions explain how the testmode is used to determine the desired AV-Sync offset value.

  1. Aim the Podcatcher, in AV-Sync testmode, at the AV-Sync IDentifier.
  2. Use the left and right buttons to in- or decrease the AV-Sync offset on the Podcatcher. After every press the value is pronounced* .When pressing the middle button the value is reset to 0.
  3. Re-aim the Podcatcher to the AV-Sync IDentifier. The audio will now be played with the selected AV-Sync offset. Notice the red led which indicated the audio is played with an offset.
  4. Repeat from step 2 until you are happy with the synchronization.
  5. Press the middle button while audio is playing to pronounce the last used offset value. Enter this value as AV-Sync offset for this AV-Sync clip.

* Minus is pronounced as “Foxtrot”
