Last night of the proms - HD sound out of sync
 

Just watching the Last Night of the Proms. Lip sync is definitely out on
BBC1HD, but ok on SD. Sound slightly leads video.

This is with a Panasonic PVR DMR-HWT130. Anyone else notice this?

Oh that's a relief, it wasn't just me then. Unless it's something to
do with Panasonic, because I'm using one as well, though it performs
reasonably well on everything else.

Since the change to digital transmission I've become used to a
constant feeling that the sound and picture are not perfectly in sync,
and try my best to ignore it, but this evening it was particularly
bad. I suppose it's just a feature of digital processing that we have
to get used to. It must take a lot of very clever technology to
generate a problem that television never had before.

Yes, but it wasn't consistent! I first noticed it when Roderick Williams
was singing - it was way out, and I had to set lip synch on my Humax
HDR-T2 to 100mS or more to compensate. Having done that, it was wrong
the other way when Katie Derham was talking. Very odd!

Katie Dereham did apologise for problems with sound early in the evening.
This was recorded via Freesat on Hummy PVR.

Yes, I can imagine. the answer of course is to buy a pair of binoculars, set
up your hd huge screen facing a window, and move away with the sound up till
the image and sound match.



Serwiously though, maybe there needs to be a new knob for the folk who view
hd, called Sound delay.

It's not usually a problem. My Humax PVR does make provision for it
though - not with a knob but with a menu item which allows you to
specify "Lip Synch" in 20mS increments.

What was odd about last night though was that the loss of synch only
seemed to occur when Roderick Williams was singing - as though his sound
was being processed in a different way from all of the rest.

Maybe the lipsync/quality issues later were the result of the
panic/workarounds that were needed to fix the initial glitching.

I only recorded the first few minutes of BBC2 HD and SD for geek reasons
and the HD sound was ruined by constant glitching.

I thought that it was at my end (I watched it via a BenQ 1070 front
projector used in conjunction with a Samsung sound bar) and had to set the
audio sync to 75 MS to get correct it.

FWIW I was occupied with other matters last night. So I've recorded the
SDTV BBC1 Freeview second half, but ignored the first half on TV as we now
get the dumbed down 'Scottish Last Night' on BBC2. Plan to listen to the R3
320k stream during the week. Our internet connection isn't reliable enough
over the weekend to listen without breaks.
