Just seeing what people do as far as getting perfect video/audio sync from Vmix recordings.
I guess what I could do is record some slow clapping and then place the vision in the timeline and see how far it's out. Because I film dance concerts, perfect sync is a critical.
Q. Does longer SDI cables mean potential sync issues or because its digital then this is not an issue?
Thanks

Hi Martin,
Are you using TS files in Premiere by any chance? If so, then Premiere has trouble syncing some TS file formats, you can confirm this by playing the files in VLC instead and they should be in perfect sync.
The solution will be to look at a different video format. MP4 with hardware encoding would be my pick.
Regards,
Martin vMix

Hi Martin
Is that MPEG4 via FFMPEG or the MPEG4 option above FFMPEG?
Thanks

When the overall cable length gets too long you will see general signal break-up/dropout, or total signal loss, but not a deterioration of audio sync (while the picture remains perfect).

I was hoping so.
Looks like i'm getting around 100m running 1280X720 50P before there is any break up.

Professional 3G/HD/SDI cables with Neutrik connectors are garanteed up to 230m (= 750ft or 250yards) for FullHD signals with no audio or video loss or desync.
Concerning your out-of-sync problem, I was wondering where does your audio come from? Your cameras or an audio mixer? Can you indicate a value for this delay? Are we talking milliseconds, hundreds or tenths or even seconds? Many acoutic factors may delay audio which by default transports much slower than light...
Yes it's a good method to do clapping tests in close ups or with lips "popping" (saying P with air)
I'm quite sure both options for MP4 are pretty much the same, except FFMPEG allows more control/choices. BTW whatever the encoders, the containers or the codecs, I never noticed any out-of-sync with vMix in years.
