Definition of synchronization

Synchronization


The process of maintaining one operation in step with another. The commonest example is the electric clock, whose motor rotates at some integral multiple or submultiple of the speed of the alternator in the power station. In television, synchronization is essential in order that the electron beams of receiver picture tubes are at exactly the same spot on the screen at each instant as is the beam in the television camera tube at the transmitter.
