When using a TosBlue unit from Telme2 with integrated aptX technology, you don’t have to worry about “time lag” or “Lip Sync”.

However, if your Bluetooth receiver does not have aptX Low Latency (aptX-LL), you will most likely experience that the TV sound in your headset is delayed compared to the TV picture.

If you are using a TosBlue unit and a good Bluetooth headset – with integrated aptX Low Latency technology – then no timing adjustments are then required. You are all set.

A TosBlue unit is installed in minutes

Matching units for excellent sound!

This post describes 3 ways to synchronize the TV sound …. the sound from the TV’s internal speaker with the sound via the Bluetooth headset or a Bluetooth speaker.

The TosBlue unit converts the optical sound signals (SPDIF) from your TV to stereo wireless Bluetooth signals of high quality.

If you receive the sound from your TV via a TosBlue unit to your BHX Bluetooth headset from Telme2, no syncronization of sound is needed. You may turn the sound on the TV speakers up and the sound from the TV speakers and the sound in your BHX headsets are in sync.

If you are using a headset without the aptX Low Latency technology, you may notice that the sound in your headset is somewhat delayed compared to the sound via th internal TV speakers.

You may reduce time lag in TV sound in 1 of 3 possible ways:

1. Turn the internal TV speakes OFF and listen to the sound via the headsets only.

This way you will have no sound syncronization problem.  You may notice however, that the picure and the sound is not perfectly syncronized. But the sound may be good, dependent on the quality if the headset you are using.

2. Adjust the timing of the optical output signal (SPDIF) from your TV.

Many TV’s has a built in feature where you may adjust the timing of the optical signal from your TV. This way, you may adjust the timing to compensate for the signal delay via the your headset without aptX. The adjustment range may be up to 300 – 500 ms.

As the method differs from one TV set to another, the exact procedure can not be presented here. Please consult your TV’s User Guide.

The general procedure goes like this:

• Click on the MENU button on your TV’s remote control.

• Click SOUND.

• Go to “SPDIF-delay”. Here you may find a sliding bar.

• Drag the handle back and forth until the sound from the internal TV speakers are in sync with the sound in your headset.

3. Use a headset with aptX Low Latency technology as indicated above, then:

No adjustment is required.

TosBlue units from Telme2 will work with any type of Bluetooth speakers. To ensure that sound and picture are in sync, the best aptX technology must be incorporated in the Bluetooth speakers.

First, you may use any Bluetooth speaker with our TosBlue units.

However, we do not recommend you to use any Bluetooth speaker. The reason is sound delay, also referred to as Lip Sync. You may read more about Lip synch in this Blog Post.

If you already have a Bluetooth speaker without aptX, then you may be able to handle the issue. Please read this Blog Post.

If you do not have a Bluetooth speaker, we recommend that you invest in one with aptX technology Incorporated.

More about aptX here in this Blog Post.

Our TosBlue units have the best aptX technology Incorporated. In order to work without any sound delay, the receiving unit must also have aptX included.

At this time, Telme2 cannot offer you a Bluetooth speakewr With aptX. There are many Bluetooth speakers With aptX on the market in various shapes and at various prices.

Take a look, you will many a good Bluetooth speaker with aptX here.

Happy selection.

“Lip Sync” means syncronisation of sound and picture. Read more what you can do about it when sound and Picture are out of sync.

You may have watched a TV show where sound and the visual movement on your TV screen is out of sync. It is unpleasant.

You may read much more about Lip Sync here.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lip_sync  

When you listen to audio from the internal TV speakers, in most cases the picture and the sound is in sync. That’s how it should be.

Now, if you try to stream audio from your TV to a headset or an  speaker, it is also important that the picture and sound is in sync. But here you have a double issue to worry about.

1) First, the sound from the internal spekers must be in sync with the moving Picture on the screen.

2) Then, the sound from Your internal TV speakers must be in sync with the sound in your headset, or the external Bluetooth speaker.

Now if you run an audio cable from your TV accross the floor to the speaker unit or your headset, then you should not worry about any delay… so the Lip Sync is be OK.

If you on the other hand are using a regular Bluetooth headset or a Bluetooth speaker, you may experience a Lip-Sync issue. This because because of conversion time in the Bluetooth sender and Bluetooth receiver. The delay may be several hundred millisecons. It is very unpleasant.

– The total delay must be less than 50 milliseconds for the sound to be in sync.

So what is the the solution?

There is a Bluetooth technologfy referred to as aptX. When  this technology is included in the Bluetooth sender and Bluetooth receiver, you should be in good shape. No notcicable delay.

More about aptX in this post.

If not you have 3 options which you may read about in this Blog Post.

Finally, if you a planning to purchase a tvSoundCast from Telme2, you can be assured that both our TosBlue units and our BHX headset are equipped with the best aptX technology.

This way, you do not have to worry about Lip Sync.
