Term describing digital signals that are transmitted without precise clocking. Such signals generally have different frequencies and phase relationships. Asynchronous transmissions usually encapsulate individual characters in control bits (called start and stop bits) that designate the beginning and end of each character.

In video, signals are asynchronous when their timing differs one from another. Switching between asynchronous sources usually produces an undesirable flicker and momentary color shift (in NTSC). Systems within a properly designed facility are linked to a master clock and are therefore synchronous. A foreign video signal is asynchronous, but can be [..]
