First sync sound test with the 360 camera at Wintec during the 2012 multi-cam shoot. All recording parameters (framerate, datarate, compression, etc) needed to be optimized to ensure that there were no dropped frames recording otherwise the editing process would become more difficult and possibly render the take unusable. It was noted that consistent and stable power needed to be supplied for optimum performance of the laptop. This has since been somewhat rectified by lowering recording parameters to produce less strain on the laptop while on battery power.

In any case, without a consistent sustained framerate during recording, sound sync becomes impossible.
