Geeze, Wayne, could it really be that hard? I'm not a broadcaster and certainly not an engineer, but poking a button to delay the audio a frame at a time until the picture caught up with it seems like something any intern should be able to do. Do we still need to invent that button? I slip tracks all the time to fix lipsync errors when editing video and just "earballing" it to get within a frame or so is quick and easy and usually good enough (and better than a lot of what I see broadcast.) I do suspect that for broadcast this wouldn't be quite as simple as I make it sound since the delay likely would vary from source to source (but hopefully not slip within a particular segment.) I certainly didn't mean to be too harsh on EVERYone involved in getting the signal out on the airwaves, but shouldn't there be a live human being watching at some point doing some simple Q.C. on the lipsync in addition to watching the waveform monitor?
