We study the coupled-map lattice model with both local and global couplings. We find necessary conditions for observing synchronous chaos and investigate the transition to synchronization as a dynamic phase transition. We discover that this transition, if continuous, shows scaling and universal behavior with the dynamic exponent z=2. We also define and illustrate an interesting quantity similar to persistence at critical point.
