Kachinko System
The Kamesan Kachinko System is a dual-unit
system that solves the problem of video and
audio synchronization in a number of different
situations. The name comes from the Japa-
nese term for “clapperboard”.
For example, it is now common for the video
portion ttof a broadcast to be sent via satellite,
and the audio portion of the broadcast to be
sent via landline. The difference in transmis-
sion time can lead to serious synchronization
problems, and difculties in providing a prop-
erly synchronized program.
With the Kachinko system, it is easy to
provide synchronized audio and video cues
when recording, and then measure any delay
between them at the studio, so that the precise
amount of slip can be added to the system for
perfect synchronization.
The KS-1018 is the “location” part of the sys-
tem, and acts as an electronic clapperboard,
producing an audio beep which is perfectly
synchronized with a visual cue.
