Make sure that all servers are on the same date and time. This information can be
checked from the VGA Setup screen (SHIFT+F2) and changed via the operating
system. From the OS prompt, type 'date' and enter the current date. Type 'time'
and enter the current time.
The first time the server is started, a pop-up message will be displayed to confirm
the server’s date and time. This date and time information will be transmitted to
any server connecting to the same SDTI network.

To check that XFile's date and time correspond to the ones on the server, proceed
as follows:
1. If the XFile application is started, close it.
2. Select Control Panel from the Start menu
3. Select Date and Time to modify the properties.
4. In the Date and Time Properties window, select the Date and Time tab to
access to the calendar and the clock.

When entering the Multicam application, the system looks for the EVS XNet
server. The message >Net appears on all output monitors and then disappears
when the connection to the XNet is successfully done.
During operations, the SDTI network or one server on the XNet might become
unavailable. In this case the message Source LSM disconnected appears on the
output monitors and the system automatically switches to the LOCAL mode for
clips or/and record trains. If clips are inserted in a playlist, those clips will be
temporarily considered as unavailable and will be skipped during playback.
