Audio Pull-Up +4.1667 % (PAL/SECAM)

Audio pull-up (+4.1667 %) is the same concept applied to PAL/SECAM video transfers.

Because the film is sped up by 4.1667 % during transfer, audio in Nuendo must be running at +4.1667 % speed in order to remain in sync with the video during editing and mixing.

In this case, the external clock must be set to +4 % varispeed.

Important

Steinberg’s SyncStation is capable of varispeed and has presets for the 4.1667 % necessary with PAL film transfers and the -0.1 % for NTSC.

Once the project is complete, the Nuendo sample rate can be returned to normal (48 kHz) for the final mixdown at film speed. Once again, this allows for a digital transfer of the final master at the correct speed for theatrical presentation.
