Audio
- Internally, a dynamically adjusted microphone is used for audio pickup.
- The device features a 3.5mm stereo audio jack (downmixed to mono internally) for connecting to headphones or a line-level output, providing a direct audio feed. Supports up to 3 V RMS (9 V peak to peak) maximum line input.
- External audio detection is automatic but may be overruled via a menu option.
Accuracy
- Measurement of audio-visual delay up to ±750 milliseconds (±3000 milliseconds in extended mode).
- The display is rounded to the nearest 1 millisecond or 1/100th of a frame, with an internal timing resolution of 0.01 milliseconds. The minimum resolution between light and sound pulses is 0.05 milliseconds.
- Self-calibration adjusts for ambient noise and light, including fluorescent/LED light flicker.
- The calibration process automatically adjusts the microphone gain.
- The audio trigger level can be adjusted, with the default setting being high sensitivity.
- The video trigger level can also be adjusted, with the default setting being high sensitivity.
- The adjustable mask time is the minimum duration required before Sync-One2 re-arms for the next reading, which helps in environments with long reverberation times.
- The memory buffer stores the most recent 60 readings and automatically calculates statistics for span and average in both milliseconds and frames.
General
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 144 mm x 90 mm x 30 mm (5.6″ x 3.5″ x 1.2″).
- 165 g (5.8 oz), excluding batteries.
- 16×2 OLED display for easy viewing, fast response, and low power consumption.
- The operating temperature ranges from 5 to 50 degrees Celsius (41 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit).
- System firmware is upgradeable to enable upgrades for new features or bespoke customer requirements.
- You have the option to customise the startup splash text message.
- Companies can easily add a brand or custom identification by ordering the Sync-One2 v2 with a permanent splash text message.
Power
- Both standard AA (LR6) batteries and rechargeable AA batteries are acceptable.
- Reverse battery protection.
- Battery life from standard AA batteries is around 50 hours of continuous operation.
- A tiny current of less than 0.1 µA is used when off. Therefore, removing the batteries when not used for a while is always best.
- The device provides a low battery indication and automatically shuts down when the batteries are too low to maintain accuracy.
- When powered via the USB Mini-B port, batteries can remain installed.
Data logging and API
- Via the USB Mini-B port, the default is to output a real-time log of readings.
- An API enables remote control of Sync-One2 v2 to automate testing/system adjustments or gather data for system compliance reporting.
- A separate manual contains the API commands available.
- An example Python script for API control is available on GitHub.
