Frame synchronization is the process of keeping video frames aligned with the timing of a display, camera, or other connected system. It ensures that frames are captured, processed, transmitted, and displayed at the correct times, helping prevent visual problems such as skipped frames, tearing, stuttering, or uneven motion. It is especially important when multiple devices or video sources need to work together.
This technique is commonly used in video streaming, broadcasting, gaming, surveillance systems, video conferencing, and multimedia applications. For example, a display can synchronize its refresh timing with the incoming video signal so each frame appears at the appropriate moment. Proper synchronization helps maintain smooth playback, consistent timing, and a stable viewing experience, particularly when handling high-resolution or real-time video.
