LYNX Technik Presents New Innovation for greenMachine Tester Series
In the world of broadcasting, maintaining perfect synchronisation between audio and video, commonly known as "lip-sync", is of paramount importance. LYNX Technik AG, a leading provider of test and measurement solutions, has announced the introduction of a new feature for its greenMachine Testor solution: AV Delay Compensation.

## What is AV Delay Compensation?
The AV Delay Compensation feature is a capability within the greenMachine Testor that allows users to precisely measure and compensate for the delay between video and audio signals. This feature is particularly important in modern broadcast systems where audio and video may travel through different processing or transmission paths, sometimes resulting in noticeable timing misalignment.

## How Does it Streamline Testing and Correcting Audio Timing Errors?
### 1. Automated Detection of Sync Errors - The greenMachine Testor automatically detects the timing discrepancy between audio and video, providing clear, graphical feedback for engineers to instantly see how much delay exists and in which direction (audio early or late relative to video).
### 2. Quantitative Measurement and Adjustment - The tool quantifies the offset with high accuracy, often down to single-digit milliseconds. - Engineers can apply compensation settings directly within the system based on test results, ensuring accurate synchronisation without manual trial and error.
### 3. Integration into Broadcast and Production Pipelines - The greenMachine Testor can continuously monitor AV sync during live broadcasts or production, alerting staff to problems as they occur. - With historical data and real-time monitoring, maintenance and troubleshooting become faster and more reliable.
### 4. Preventative Quality Assurance - By regularly testing and compensating for AV delays, broadcasters can prevent sync issues from reaching viewers. - Automated tools reduce the need for manual spot checks, freeing up staff for other value-adding activities.

## Why is this Feature Important?
The AV Delay Compensation feature ensures that viewers experience high-quality content with perfect synchronisation between audio and video—a fundamental requirement for professional broadcasting. By automating and simplifying the process of detecting and correcting sync errors, LYNX Technik AG’s greenMachine Testor helps broadcasters maintain strict quality standards with minimal manual intervention.
In summary, the AV Delay Compensation feature streamlines testing and correcting audio timing errors by automating detection, providing precise measurements, enabling direct compensation, and integrating monitoring into production pipelines—greatly reducing errors and improving operational efficiency. The measured values can be sent over a network to a second greenMachine for precise and instant correction of AV delay issues. This innovative feature is set to result in superior signal quality and an enhanced viewer experience.
This innovative AV Delay Compensation feature, introduced by LYNX Technik AG, allows users to analyze and adjust the delay between audio and video signals, thereby enhancing the quality of products in data-and-cloud-computing by ensuring perfect synchronization between audio and video in events. The feature integrates seamlessly with broadcasters' technology, offering automated detection and compensation of sync errors, precise measurements, and real-time monitoring to improve operational efficiency and viewer experience.
