23-4-1. Setting Time Using SNTP (Time) Server
The switcher time can be synchronized to a time (SNTP) server using the Simple Network
Time Protocol (SNTP).
To synchronize the time to a SNTP server time, enter the IP address of your SNTP server, set
the time zone, then update the time manually. After time settings are completed, it is
recommended to turn on automatic updates (at start-up and/or fixed time).
SNTP server time may not be correct due to a network delay or other reasons. To improve
time precision, locate an SNTP server in your local network zone.
Setting the IP address of SNTP Server
(1) Open [SETUP > SYSTEM > TIME] menu PAGE 3.
(2) Press F3, enter an IP address and press Enter.
Time Zone Setting
The SNTP server provides the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). To display the correct local
time, set your time zone
(1) Open [SETUP > SYSTEM > TIME] menu PAGE 3.
(2) Turn F1 to set the time zone offset value.
Manual Time Update
(1) Open [SETUP > SYSTEM > TIME] menu PAGE 3.
(2) Press F4. A short-beep sound will be heard and the switcher time will be updated.
Automatic Time Update
Sets the automatic update in [SETUP > SYSTEM > TIME] menu PAGE 4.
To update time at switcher start-up:
Set UPDATE ON STARTUP to ON.
To update time at fixed intervals:
Set the update time under UPDATE TIME.
The INTERVAL parameter allows you to set OFF, 1HOUR, 3HOUR, 6HOUR, 12HOUR and
1DAY, and to update the time at the set interval starting from the time set in the UPDATE
TIME.
Summer Time Setting
If SUMMER TIME is set to ON in [SETUP > SYSTEM > TIME] menu PAGE 3, the time will be
set one-hour advanced relative to the standard (non-summer) time.
