Configuring Date and Time

From the Date and Time page, you can configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) support to synchronize the encoder clock with the selected time zone. Systems with SMPTE ST 2110 input also show the Clock State LED and ID. 

To view and configure the date and time:

1. On the Administration page, click Settings on the navigation bar and Date and Time on the sidebar. 
   The Date and Time page opens. 
   

   

2. Select or enter the new value(s) in the appropriate field(s). For details, see Date and Time Settings.
3. To apply your changes, click Apply.
4. To validate that the NTP server is reachable, click Test (below the NTP server field). 
   

   

5. To view statistics for the NTP server, click Statistics. For details, see NTP Statistics. 

6. (ST 2110 input only) You can check the Clock State LED and ID. A "LOCKED" state indicates that the encoder is locked to the PTP signal. The Clock ID is the ID of the PTP grandmaster (for reference and troubleshooting).
