4.4.4.4.9. Synchronizing the Analog Test Generator Burn In Clock to System Time Immediately
This menu item allows the user to synchronize the burn in clock for the
analog test generator to system time immediately. This synchronization will
also happen once per day at the time specified using the Set Jam Time
menu item (see section
4.4.2.2.5).
Caution: This menu item is a live control.
To synchronize the analog video test generator burn in clock to system time
immediately, select the Jam Output menu item and press the SELECT
button. The left LCD screen will display TIME JAMMED in yellow for 2
When the time reference is set to VITC or LTC and the frame rate of the time
reference is the same as the SDI output, the time will be jammed directly from
the time reference rather than from system time.
4.4.4.4.10. Synchronizing all the VITC, LTC, and Burn-In Clocks to System Time Immediately
This menu item allows the user to synchronize all LTC, VITC, and burn in
clocks (SDI and analog test generators) to system time simultaneously.
Caution: This menu item is a live control.
To synchronize all the LTC, VITC and TG burn in clocks immediately, select
the Jam all VitcLtc menu item and press the SELECT button. The left LCD
panel will display ALL TIMES JAMMED in yellow for 2 seconds.
4.4.4.4.11. Setting the Analog Video Test Generator Burn in Timecode Frame Offset
This menu item allows the user to set an offset between the system time
and the analog video test generator burn in time. This feature is commonly
used to compensate for video path delays common within a television
facility. The offset value will be added along with the time zone offset (see
section 4.4.2.2.9
) and Daylight Saving Time correction (see section
4.4.2.2.10) to obtain the final VITC time.
To advance the analog video test generator
burn in time earlier than the
system time, set the offset to a negative (-) value.
