Configure Date and Time
The Networked VGA Grid uses the current date and time in naming recorded files and when synchronizing and
timestamping inputs from multiple sources (i.e. when synchronizing an audio and a video source). The admin
interface lets you specify date and time settings to ensure they are correctly configured for your time zone and
your network. This section covers the following date and time-related topics:
l
Verify Date and Time Settings
l
Change the Time Zone
l
Configure Synchronized Time (NTP, PTP v1, and RDATE)
l
Configure a Local NTP Server
l
Manually Configure the Date and Time
l
Synchronize Date and Time for Encoders and Grid
Remember to log into the encoder's admin interface when performing any date and time related configuration
changes to a VGA Grid HD Encoder.
Epiphan recommends enabling the local NTP server on the VGA Grid and using this as the time
synchronization point for each encoder.
