PROBLEM:
Not displaying the correct local time and/or date
Possible reasons/solutions:
 Your display has an incorrect Time Zone offset
and/or DST offset configured.
 Your Time Code source and/or the display are set
with Time Zone and/or DST offsets.
 Your Time Code source is not providing the time
and/or date that you expect. Contact the individual
responsible for the Time Code source for more
information.
PROBLEM:
Display did not properly negotiate the DST
Possible reasons/solutions:
 Your Time Code source is not providing date
information and/or a valid date was not
programmed into your display.
 Your Time Code source already provides the DST
adjustment.
 Your Time Code source or your display does not
have the correct DST rules configured.
PROBLEM:
UTC time and/or date is incorrect
There are several potential failure points:
• Invalid, intermittent or missing Time Code source
• Date/year overwrite function for non-date encoded
Time Code may be configured improperly
• Battery may need to be replaced
• A Local Time Zone or DST configuration not set
correctly
 Verify that your Time Code source is generating the
UTC referenced time and date that you expect and
that this Time Code format is at an acceptable
signal level and quality that can be detected at the
client side (TimeCode input).
 When using SMPTE Time Code, verify that you are
not using drop frame Time Code. Use only NDF
(non-drop frame) SMPTE Time Code.
