    Does it bother anyone else that the sound and visuals are not synchronized?

    • @Kyrelel
      @Kyrelel 7 років тому +17

      They are perfectly synchronised. Perhaps you need more bandwidth - JK.
      The sound and external video were actually "real time" and the internal video was a delayed sat feed.
      On another interesting note. If you stand at the base of the tower with your radio tuned to a BBC station, the sound picked up by the microphones installed in the tower is transmitted to the broadcast station, and then to the radio receiver faster than the sound travels down from the tower - meaning that you will hear the chimes on the radio before the natural sound reaches your ears. (Obviously, you can't test that theory until the bells chime once more, and probably less than 4 years, but you can look it up online)

    • @fleecemaster
      @fleecemaster 7 років тому +1

      That's pretty nuts! Also I just assumed it was because the recording of the sound was from further away, so the camera on the bell and the outside one were in synch, but the sound was from outside?

    • @user-xw4zt9gc7l
      @user-xw4zt9gc7l 5 років тому +1

      The camera was zoomed in from far away and since light is faster than sound, you can see the hammer hitting the bell first before hearing it.

      I sometimes think people don't quite understand what that clock, and the bell in particular means to us. At that stage it had rung continually for 157, since the reign of Queen Victoria, through two world wars, as perhaps the most recognisable symbol and sound of our country. It marks the silence on Armistice Day and Remeberance Sunday, the coming of the new year and, as we heard in 2022, the passing of our beloved Monarch.
      Any Americans watching (and maybe scoffing) should perhaps think about what the Liberty Bell means to them and maybe then they would have maybe some small idea of what Big Ben means to us!
