DATE & TIME
By default, the UHD Player’s date and time will automatically be set by an external NTP Server, using
the time zone of Europe/Berlin. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock
synchronization between computer systems over a network. Please note that internet access is
needed on your network. Every time the player is booted, it’s date and time will be synchronized
with the NTP Server’s time, according to the chosen time zone.
Without internet access, the player uses the date and time that is currently set.
Turn off NTP Control if you do not wish to synchronize to an NTP Server at all.
To edit the player’s date & time settings, open its
[ADVANCED SETTINGS] in the
Fig. 62: Date & Time settings in the Web Interface
[Day.Mon.Year] & [Hour.Min.Sec]
To manually edit the date and time, click on the highlighted fields and choose the correct entry for
the day, month and year from the drop-down lists, and then for the hour, minutes and seconds.
Confirm your changes by clicking on [Set Date].
PLEASE NOTE:
NTP Control
needs to be set to “Off” before, otherwise these changes will not take effect.
[Timezone]
The time zone is only important when using NTP Control. The player then will receive the time from
the NTP Server according to your time zone.
To edit the current time zone, click in the text field below and enter the new one. The following
website lists the syntax of all time zones that can be set, please refer to column three of the table,
named “TZ”:

[NTP Control]
By default, NTP Control is set to “On” and the
player receives its date and time from the NTP Server
after every system boot, using the time zone that is entered above. To synchronize with the NTP
Server’s clock during the
p
layer’s run
-time, click [Apply NTP Server Time].
Without internet access, the player will continue with the date and time that were used before.
