on that last).

nope. Its purely how much buffering they do on the signal. Decoding a
compressed video always takes some time, and to an extent,the more time
it takes the better a job you can do.


Anything digital is always behind real time. Due to the way it is sampled.
Even digital microphones, compared to analogue ones. Which makes it
impossible to use a mix of the two. Hence there are very few around - the
exception being some radio mics.

And any processing after that initial sampling may slow things down
further.
