Overview
Dual system sound is a motion picture technique of capturing sound on a separate device from the camera. The image and the soundtrack are synchronized during post-production using sync points that are typically accomplished using a clapper board.
It is critical that:
- A sync point, or marker, is clearly recorded both visually and audibly at either the beginning or end of each shot
- Both recording devices are using compatible record settings

Slating Procedures
- Director or AD calls for "quiet on the set" and then for "roll sound".
- Sound engineer will start recording and allow a few seconds of pre-roll before calling out "speed".
- Camera operator will commence recording and call out "speed".
- AC will be holding the slate that is clearly labeled with scene information in front of the camera and the clapper sticks open. AC will verbally state the slate information and call "marker" and close the sticks while holding this pose for a few seconds.
- If a slate is not possible at the start of the take it can happen at the end of a take.
- After the Director calls "cut" both the sound engineer and camera operator let the recording continue.
- The AC should call out the slate information, "marker" and hold the clapper upside down to signify this is at the end of the shot.
