Creating Layouts
Configuring Clocks
2In the Properties pane, make the appropriate assignments.
• Determine the time source (see Assigning Logical Sources or Monitor Wall
Destinations to Monitors, on page 209), and select the desired time code level if
necessary.
• Select the appropriate time zone for your purposes.
If you select Autodetect, then the clock will use the time zone from the assigned
source, based on the following rules:
• If the clock is bound to an LTC or DVITC time code that includes time zone
information, then the time zone is decoded from the time code.
• If the clock is bound to the system time, or to an LTC or DVITC time code that
does not include time zone information, then:
– in the case of a Kaleido-X or Kaleido-X16 multiviewer model, the time zone
configured in XAdmin applies;
– in the case of a KMV-3901/3911 or Kaleido-MX, the system time is always
based on UTC.
3 If the clock is bound to an LTC or DVITC time code, and you wish it to momentarily use
the multiviewer’s internal clock for reference should the assigned time code become
unavailable, then select Fall back to internal clock.
When a clock configured with this option loses its time reference, it will not stop but
keep working to the beat of the multiviewer internal clock instead.
Notes
• When a clock switches between the LTC or DVITC signal and the
multiviewer’s internal clock reference, you may notice a one-second offset
on the monitor wall.
• Refreshing the current layout (or switching to another layout and then
back) cancels the fallback mechanism. When this happens, the clock that
had lost its time reference halts, showing the time it was at the moment
the layout was refreshed (or loaded again), based on the multiviewer
system clock.
