In professional audio/video networks, a single clock leader is designated, often a central device like a video switcher, to synchronize devices operating at different resolutions (4Kp60, 1080p60) and sample rates (96kHz, 48kHz), ensuring temporal coherence.
In a professional audio/video network with devices offering content at various resolutions and sample rates, a single clock leader is typically designated to maintain synchronization.
This central device, often a video switcher or audio interface, serves as the master clock, providing a uniform timing reference for all connected devices. This ensures seamless coordination between video devices operating at 4Kp60 and 1080p60, along with audio devices running at 96kHz and 48kHz.
The concept of multiple clock leaders is not standard; instead, a unified synchronization strategy with a singular clock leader is employed to maintain temporal coherence across the network.
