1. INTRODUCTION
The Analog Stereo Lip Sync Corrector is a compact device that cancorrect audio delays between audio and video. When distributing
video over long distances through multiple devices like distribution
amplifiers and set-top boxes there can sometimes be a noticeable
delay which results in audio being played before the video. This
device allows you to manually adjust the audio delay from 0 ~300ms
ms allowing you to perfectly synchronize your audio and video,eliminating any mismatch.
