Definition of sync

syncnoun

đồng bộ hóa

/sɪŋk//sɪŋk/

The term "sync" is an abbreviation that derives from the word "synchronization". Synchronization refers to the process of coordinating different events, devices, or systems so that they occur simultaneously or in a specific order. In the context of technology, synchronization is important in various applications. For example, in audio and video processing, synchronization is required to ensure that audio and visual content align perfectly. This is essential in multimedia presentations and film production. The term "sync" is commonly used in this context to denote the process of syncing or aligning audio and video content. It refers to the synchronization of the audio track with the corresponding video frames or scenes. The term "sync" is also used to refer to the matching of the timing or speed of separate devices or networks so that they function properly together. This usage of "sync" is a retronym, meaning that it has been created as a term to differentiate newer technologies and processes from older ones. In the past, when synchronization was less common, the term was not necessary, but as more and more devices and systems require synchronization, the term "sync" has become a convenient and widely used shorthand. In summary, "sync" is a term used in technology to indicate the process of coordination or synchronization in various applications. It is a shorthand for synchronization, a concept that has become increasingly important in modern technology.
