One page: the seven stages from capture to render, the clock in each, the two synchronization worlds (27 MHz STC vs NTP wall clock), the clock rates worth memorizing, the drift arithmetic, and an eight-point remember checklist.

Audio for Video: A Complete Guide to Sound in Video Products: From Jitter Buffers and Lip Sync to Atmos, Quality Metrics, and Neural Codecs
This poster traces seven stages from capture to render, the clock in each, the 27 MHz STC versus NTP wall clock, and the drift arithmetic. Volume 5 covers timestamps in depth: clock domains, synchronization and lip sync, jitter buffers and NetEq, and diagnosing timing incidents by their symptoms. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
Chasing timestamp bugs that break sync somewhere between capture and render?
Share your pipeline and a sample stream, and we will trace each clock end to end and fix where sync breaks. 250+ video products shipped since 2005.
