Sound synchronization is achieved by means of a light device in the camera that marks the edge of the film at the beginning of a scene. During filming, microphone sound is recorded magnetically on the audio track of the tape, while a 18-frame-per-second pulsed signal is recorded on the synchronous-control track of the tape.
