There are two approaches to measuring lip sync error (also known as AV sync error):
- Measuring Lip Sync Error of Sink Device(s)
- Measuring Lip Sync Error of a Full AV Setup (Source, Transport, and Sink)
The “AV sync error” term is preferred when reporting to consumers because it avoids confusion with lip sync performance. See Measurement Examples and Acceptable Audio Latency and Lip Sync Error for more information on lip sync error.
