I just watched the ball drop in Times Square (on TV, not in person!), and noticed that my watch (auto-synced daily via radio signal) was about 15 seconds fast compared to the countdown clock used by the Times Square people and the TV network. So what time standard do they use for syncing, and why does it differ from mine? (My PC clock was a few seconds slower than Times Square, and it's also regularly synced via the Internet.)
Many time delays are introduced in broadcast signals. See. e.g., http://www.atsc.org/cms/standards/is_266.pdf - Jonathan _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
