offset value will be added to the system time along with the Time Zone
offset (see section 3.6.2.3.9) and Daylight Saving time correction (see

Sync Standard is set to the
PAL-B or NTSC-M standards. The menu item will show the message
S1 no vitc in hd when the Sync Standard is set to one of the high
definition video standards.

The front panel display will show WARNING LIVE CTL for 0.6 seconds to indicate
that adjusting the VITC Offset values will affect the VITC output time immediately.
