Configuring the default time zone offset for the channel types
Although GV STRATUS Playout always uses UTC internally, some pages such as Channel
Control and Schedule Edit display time according to their assigned channel type. The
channel type contains a Time Zone Offset setting which specifies the time difference
between the local and UTC time so operators can display time in the grids in their time zone
rather than the UTC time used internally. For more information on channel types, see
Creating a new channel type , on page 25.
The default value for the Time Zone Offset is configured on the Settings > System
Administration page. Once the default is configured, each new channel type created is
configured with the specified value.
To configure the default time zone offset:
1 In the top menu, click Settings.
2 Click the System Administration tab.
3 In the Default Time Zone Offset field, type the time value that specifies the time
difference between the local and UTC time used by default.
4 Click Update Details.
Configuring the contact details for the designated system administrator

discovered and remain unresolved.
