zero. Meaning we’re comparing NO latency with some latency. I.e. 0 -11, or 0 –
14 or 0 – 250. No delay is obviously the goal…though clearly impractical.
The question is at what point are we able to notice the latency.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

work with, in that movie frames are 30ms apart and we’re generally unable to discern

<p class=MsoNormal>The next question then becomes, at what level can we
perceive a difference in performance? In other words, can we really perceive a
difference between 7ms and 14ms latency? I will not argue that large
differences are readily perceptible (25 versus 250), but what about smaller
differences. How large of a difference does there need to be and is there a
threshold below which it does not really matter?<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>As a Psychologist, I agree with you, Bill. As an R/C
pattern jockey, I will only point out that the electronic latency is ADDED TO
the wet-ware latency...<br>
<br>
Thus, your last statement is true, indeed!<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am amused by discussions about latency. We have long
discussions about the perceived advantages of single digit differences in
system latency while ignoring the fact that the average human reaction time
(call it organic latency) is around 250 milliseconds. <br>
<br>
I guess you can argue that since we are inherently so slow we need all the
electronic help we can get!! <br>

A lot of people are hung up on transmitter/receiver latency numbers, and don't
see the whole picture. This gives as good a fact based write up as any
I've seen.<br>
