Substantiv C1 process

Coordinating things in time

the act of making things happen or move together at the right time

Tipar de utilizare: synchronization of [things]; synchronization between [things]; synchronization with [something]

Greșeală frecventă:

Use 'synchronization of A and B' or 'synchronization between A and B'; the verb pattern is 'synchronize A with B.'

Sinonime

coordination (broader; can include planning as well as timing) | alignment (emphasizes making things match or fit together) | timing (emphasizes when actions happen)

Antonime

desynchronization (the loss or absence of synchronization) | misalignment (a state where things do not match correctly) | asynchrony (a more technical word for things not occurring together in time)

Colocații

Teme

time |coordination

Exemple

The dancers' synchronization was impressive, especially during the fast section.
The project suffered from poor synchronization between the design and engineering teams.
Traffic lights use synchronization to keep cars moving smoothly along the main road.

Exemple pentru cursanți

The swimmers need better synchronization.
Good synchronization helps the team work together.

Substantiv technical C1 process

Keeping data consistent

copying updates so files, photos, contacts, or other information are the same on all devices

Tipar de utilizare: [app/device/account] synchronization; synchronization with [server/cloud/account]

Greșeală frecventă:

Do not use 'synchronization' for a simple backup unless data is kept matching between locations. The informal short form is 'sync.'

Sinonime

syncing (informal short form, especially in consumer technology) | replication (more technical; often means copying data between databases or servers) | mirroring (suggests making one place exactly match another, often one-way)

Antonime

data inconsistency (a state where data differs between systems) | data divergence (technical; data gradually becomes different in separate places) | desynchronization (systems stop matching after previously being synchronized)

Teme

computing |technology |data

Exemple

Turn on synchronization so your photos appear on both your phone and your laptop.
The app paused email synchronization while the device was offline.
Database synchronization can prevent different offices from working with outdated records.

Exemple pentru cursanți

I turned off synchronization to save mobile data.
The calendar synchronization is not working.

Substantiv technical C1 process

Matching sound and image

making sound, picture, or subtitles match in time

Tipar de utilizare: [audio/video/subtitle/lip] synchronization; synchronization between [sound] and [picture]

Greșeală frecventă:

Do not confuse synchronization with translation; subtitles can be translated correctly but poorly synchronized.

Sinonime

sync (shorter and more common in everyday speech) | alignment (emphasizes matching the timing of separate parts) | timing (focuses on when each sound or image appears)

Antonime

desynchronization (loss of correct timing between media elements) | lag (one part is delayed behind another) | mismatch (a general failure to match correctly)

Teme

media |film |audio |video |technology

Exemple

The film's poor synchronization made the dialogue seem slightly ahead of the actors' mouths.
The editing software includes tools for audio synchronization.
Live captions require accurate synchronization with the speaker's words.

Exemple pentru cursanți

The subtitles need better synchronization.

Substantiv technical C1 process

Aligning clocks or signals

setting clocks or signals so they match exactly

Tipar de utilizare: [clock/time/phase/network] synchronization; synchronization with [time server/reference]

Greșeală frecventă:

In technical writing, 'time synchronization' usually means aligning clocks; 'data synchronization' means matching information.

Sinonime

time alignment (emphasizes matching clocks or time references) | clock alignment (specifically about making clocks show the same time) | phase locking (technical; refers to matching the phase of repeating signals)

Antonime

clock drift (clocks gradually move away from the correct shared time) | phase drift (signals gradually stop matching in phase) | timing error (a general error in timing or time alignment)

Teme

technology |engineering |networks |time

Exemple

Secure transactions often depend on accurate time synchronization between servers.
The sensor network uses GPS for clock synchronization.
Without phase synchronization, the machines vibrate at different points in their cycles.

Exemple pentru cursanți

The servers need time synchronization.
The clocks lost synchronization after the power cut.
