Quality Control (QC) Vocabulary

QC Vocabulary defines terms that are used in QC with the goals of 1) Ensuring that terms are used consistently, and 2) ensuring that terms are encoded consistently. The page for this topic is here.

This page shows terms for the "SYNCED-EVENTS" category. Sync'd events are any data tied to the audivisual timeline; for example, motion code and timed metadata.

This category was introduced in Version 1.1
