[ˈtaɪmɪŋ ˈɔfset]
nounpl: timing offsets
deslocamento de tempo
1. A difference or discrepancy between expected and actual timing in a system, often measured in milliseconds or microseconds
The timing offset between the audio and video streams caused synchronization issues during playback.
O deslocamento de tempo entre os fluxos de áudio e vídeo causou problemas de sincronização durante a reprodução.
2. In signal processing and telecommunications, a time delay introduced intentionally or unintentionally between two signals
Engineers adjusted the timing offset to correct the phase relationship between the two clock signals.
Os engenheiros ajustaram o deslocamento de tempo para corrigir a relação de fase entre os dois sinais de relógio.
3. In computing and networking, a deviation from the correct time reference in data transmission or synchronization
Network latency created a timing offset that affected the real-time performance of the system.
A latência da rede criou um deslocamento de tempo que afetou o desempenho em tempo real do sistema.
This term is primarily used in technical and professional contexts in both Brazilian and American English. It's particularly common in software development, audio/video production, telecommunications, and embedded systems engineering. In Brazil, the English term 'timing offset' is often used directly in technical discussions even among Portuguese speakers, though 'deslocamento de tempo' is the formal Portuguese equivalent. The concept reflects the increasing globalization of technology industries where English technical terminology often prevails.
