Telesync

One of the multiple terms used by movie pirates to describe the source material that was used to make a bootlegged pirate copy, normally distributed in VideoCD, SVCD or DivX format.

Precisely Telesync means a copy which was shot in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera, directly connected to the sound source.

Other bootleg version methods include Telecine, Screener, Cam and DVD-Rip.

Also referred to as TS.

TELESYNC (TS) -
A telesync is the same spec as a CAM except it uses an external audio source (most likely an audio jack in the chair for hard of hearing people). A direct audio source does not ensure a good quality audio source, as a lot of background noise can interfere. A lot of the times a telesync is filmed in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera, giving a better picture quality. Quality ranges drastically, check the sample before downloading the full release. A high percentage of Telesyncs are CAMs that have been mislabeled.

A 'professional' bootleg camera job with direct sound. Wherein a VCD pirating group sends a cammer to a cinema with camera and wireless mic's. Cammer attaches wireless mics to speakers, videotapes the image off the cinema screen and goes and rips a/v to his computer and encodes and disseminates through the internet.

Asian versions of telesyncs are called silvers
Non-direct sound or overall shitty quality telesyncs are often refered to as cams.
