Who here delays their Audio for HD?

[ToddAnisman]

Just curious...

In the Pro Audio Mixing world that I work in, we immediately noticed that HD sceens, whether plasma, LCD, projector etc. are out of sync about 2 NTSC frames. We confirmed this on our Christie digital Projector by taking a camera and actually recording the output of the christie against a glass HD monitor (only glass is in sync).

Wondering:

A) Who here delays their audio into sync when using a Plasma, LCD, or Projector

B) what equipment do you use to do this?

Thanks,

I don't have this problem, but my pre-pro has a "Group Audio Delay" setting adjustable from 0 to 85ms if necessary.

I think most newer HT pre/pros and receivers have a similar function.

I delay my Audio too (Maybe around 10ms? I can't remember off-hand.) But I do not use my pre/pro to do this.

My DVD player (Arcam DV29) has a feature where it can delay the sound from the video source. It is a nice little feature. I don't need much delay since it is barely noticeable, but I am glad I could do it.

Edit: I thought you meant HT (home theater), not HD (high def). (too many acronyms..

I often find that I have to delay my audio when watching OTA HD. My Rotel 1068 allows me to do this with the touch of a couple buttons on the remote.
