Details
Description
Audio out of sync will become more noticeable during playback, ultimately resulting in dialogue and effects falling significantly out of sync and create a poor customer experience.

For example, the audio is in sync at the beginning, 2-seconds early in middle, 5-seconds early by the end of hte programme.
Definition
Used in Checks, the system check for audio sync drift (where audio sync with video becomes progressively earlier throughout the programme) equal to or above the minimum duration as specified in the input. Optionally the system may report the timecodes of where sync drift was detected.

Used in Reports, the system shall report the timecodes of where sync drift was detected equal to or above the minimum duration as specified in the input.
