Date and Time
In the main menu select Main/Date and Time. The Date and Time page allows you to synchronize the real time clock of the broadcaster with the time of your computer or with Internet NTP servers. The real time clock is used to time stamp events in the log and will be used in future versions for timers that will allow you to turn on and turn off groups of monitors automatically.
DATE
The broadcaster time and the computer system time are displayed under the Date tab. Click Synchronize to set up the broadcaster with the computer system time. This page is not auto-refreshing. Click Refresh to refresh the two time fields.
NTP
You can ask the broadcaster to synchronize itself with an available time server on the internet. Under the NTP tab, check Synchronize with an Internet Time Server and fill in the name or IP address of one or two NTP servers.
NTP Server1 is the server the broadcaster will try to contact first, and NTP Server2 is the backup time server, used when the first time server is not available. Just enter the domain name of the time server(s). Click OK. The broadcaster will try to synchronize itself with the timer servers every time it starts or restarts and will continue to synchronize its internal clock every hour thereafter.
Note: if you check Synchronize with an Internet Time Server, you can no longer synchronize the broadcaster with the computer. The Synchronize button under the Date and Time tab is disabled.
Note: There are many NTP servers available. You should choose the NTP servers based on the principle that a time server nearer to you will reduce time latency in synchronization.
