Synchronisation (Sync)

The process of orienting the transmitter and receiver circuits in the proper manner in order that they can be synchronised . Home television sets are synchronised by an incoming sync signal with the television cameras in the studios 60 times per second. The horizontal and vertical hold controls on the television set are used to set the receiver circuits to the approximate sync frequencies of incoming television picture and the sync pulses in the signal then fine tune the circuits to the exact frequency and phase.
