Selecting When the VITC Time is Synchronized to the System Time
OUTPUT
This menu item allows the user to set the time of day when the VITC on the
sync output will be synchronized to the system time. This synchronization is
necessary once per day to maintain a long-term correlation between the
VITC time and system time for the NTSC-M sync format.
When the time reference is set to
GPS
, the VITC output time will have to be
synchronized to the system time to correct for leap seconds. This affects
both NTSC-M and PAL-B formats.
Enter the hour and minute with the
and
buttons or by turning the
control knob.
The VITC can also be synchronized to system time immediately using the
Jam Output
menu item (see section 4.4.2.2.6). All LTC and VITC timecode
outputs can be synchronized to system time in one shot using the
Jam all
VitcLtc
menu item (see section 4.4.2.2.7).
This menu item is only applicable when the Sync
Mode
is set to the
PAL-B
or
NTSC-M
formats and will disabled for other formats (shown in dark text).
