What the test will show

Compare a short sound with a flash. Adjust the perceived offset for headphones, speakers or a TV and save your chosen setting.

How to take the test

  1. Select the desired audio output and low volume.
  2. Trigger the signals and move the slider until there is a perceived match.
  3. Repeat with wired output and save observation.

How to understand the result

The offset is selected by a person. The browser does not measure end-to-end Bluetooth latency or change other app settings. Screen frequency and load affect the comparison.

Compare multiple runs under the same conditions. Then change one factor: connection, device, or setting. If the symptom persists, repeat the test on another device and save the conditions - this will help to more accurately describe the problem to support.

How Calcomera measurements work

Does the test show accurate Bluetooth latency?

No. You select the subjective offset of the sound relative to the image in this combination of browser, screen and audio output.

What does negative offset mean?

The sound is played before the visual signal. A positive value shifts the sound later.

Do you need microphone resolution?

No. The test only plays a short sound and shows a dot; doesn't record anything.

If you recognize your problem

Audio and video out of sync

A flash and a short sound will help you compare synchronization in the browser. Checking Bluetooth, wired output and player settings without recording a microphone.
