5.3.2.3. Setting the VITC Date
This menu item is used to select how the 5700MSC-IP will decode date
information from the user bits of the VITC inputs. It is only valid when the
time reference source is set to VITC.
When set to Auto mode, the 5700MSC-IP will analyze the incoming user
bits to try to find the best date format. Use caution with this as some random
data, including all 0s will look like a valid Legacy date format.
Select No date to ignore the user bits of the incoming VITC. This means that
if the time reference is set to VITC the date must be set manually in the
GENERAL menu.
Select Legacy to decode the date in a format compatible with Leitch master
clock systems.
Select Production to decode the date in a format compatible with timecode
smart slates used in film and television production. In this mode the date is
encoded as yymmddrr, where rr is the nominal frame rate of the respective
output (30 for 29.97Hz outputs).
Select SMPTE 309 BCD date to decode the date in the SMPTE ST 309
standard Binary Coded Decimal mode. In this mode the date is encoded as
zzyymmdd, where zz is the time zone of the respective output.
Select SMPTE 309 MJD date to decode the date in the SMPTE ST 309
standard Modified Julian Date mode. In this mode the date is encoded as
zzdddddd, where zz is the time zone of the respective output and dddddd is
the date expressed in its Modified Julian Date representation.

5.3.2.4. Setting the Time IP
This menu item enables or disables the eight servers that can be used as
an SNTP time reference. These are valid only when the time reference has
been set to SNTP.
Up to 8 servers can be set up. During the daily time sync to SNTP, the
5700MSC-IP will contact each server that is enabled and chose the one with
the best time, based on the data provided by the servers.
