3 Simple Ways to Phase Align Main+Sub with SATlive

By Nathan Lively

  1. Make the pictures match.
  2. Math (just a little!)
  3. Automatic (Delay Suggestion Tool)

#1 – Make the pictures match.

This is the method I used for years and is the most common, but it has two problems: 1) It’s slow and 2) It’s not easy to tell if a polarity inversion is required.

#2 – Math

This makes the process faster.

#3 – Automatic (Delay Suggestion Tool)

This makes the process faster and can detect polarity inversion.
