The date and time information are used for the multiviewer clock and when backing up
image or setting files. Note that date and time information may be lost if the switcher is
powered OFF for more than 100 hours (or less if it is not fully charged). In such case,
reset the date and time.
18-4-1. 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 F1 to highlight the first octet (192 in the menu example below) of the IP address.
SYSTEM :SNTP SERVER IP ADDRESS :UPDATE : 3/4
TIME : =192.168.000.011 : >EXEC :
(3) Turn F1 to change the value and press F1.
(4) Repeat Steps (2) and (3) to set the server IP address.
Time Zone Setting
The SNTP server provides the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). To display the correct
local time, set your time zone.(See the previous page.)
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.
SYSTEM :SNTP SERVER IP ADDRESS :UPDATE : 3/4
TIME : =192.168.000.011 : >EXEC :
Automatic Time Update
To update time at switcher start-up:
Set 1st CHK to ON in [SETUP - SYSTEM - TIME] menu PAGE 2.
SYSTEM :1st CHK:SUMMER :TIME ZONE : 2/4
TIME : =ON : =OFF : =UTC[ 9:00] :
To update time at fixed intervals:
Set the update time under UPDATE TIME in [SETUP - SYSTEM - TIME] menu PAGE 4.
The INTRVL (INTERVAL) parameter allows you to set OFF, 1HOUR, 3HOUR, 6HOUR,
12HOUR and1DAY, and to update the time at the set interval starting from the time set in the
UPDATE TIME.
SYSTEM :UPDATE TIME :INTRVL : : 4/4
TIME : =12:00 :=3HOUR : :
