IconMaster Installation and Configuration Manual 207
Chapter 8: Configuring IconMaster
The Clock and Timer dialog box includes settings for IconMaster's real-time
clock and segment timer functions, each of which is detailed in Table 8-9.
Table 8-9. Clock and Timer Settings Options
Item Description
CLOCK Enable Enables IconMaster to synchronize its internal real-time clock
with an external clock source. IconMaster uses the SNTP
protocol across ethernet to query an NTP time server.
CLOCK Source Enter the IP address of an NTP time server, as well as a time
zone offset. NTP time server provides UTC time, and requires
the client (IconMaster) to provide a local time offset. By default,
IconMaster will re-sync its clock ever 60 minutes. This can be
changed by editing the Re-Sync Interval field.
If using IconMaster's RCP as the clock source, the RCP must be
connected to an external LTC timecode time-of-day source.
Enter the RCP's IP address as the SNTP Server IP Address. In
this status, the local time offset (Time Zone) setting will be
ignored by IconMaster.
NOTE:
• IconMaster does not maintain its real-time clock when power
cycled. The NTP server (or RCP) must always be available
when IconMaster powers up and during operations.
• Press the CLOCK button on IconMaster's RCP to Re-Sync
IconMaster's clock with the NTP server.
• The "Start" time of DST should be local time and the "End"
time of DST should be local time with DST shift.
Daylight Savings
Time
IconMaster can automatically adjust for daylight savings time, if
configured. If configuring a custom DST adjustment window,
IconMaster will add one hour between the start and end times
defined.
NOTE: if configuring a custom DST window, the dates may
need to be changed annually.
If using IconMaster's RCP as the clock source, settings will be
ignored by IconMaster, so just select Disable DST.
CLOCK Display IconMaster can display the clock in either 12h or 24h formats.
When configured for 12h format, IconMaster can display AM/
PM indicators. The Frame Count can also be optionally
displayed.
TIMER Enable Enables IconMaster's segment timer functionality. When
enabled, IconMaster will reset the segment timer to zero on each
transition of the BKGD source.
Reset Timer There are two options: FX and Keyer/AO. Check one or both of
these options, and IconMaster will reset the segment timer on
each FX transition and/or all keyer (video and Audio Over)
transition.
