Configuring the XIP-3901-UDC-IP Application

PTP Panel
To allow vertically accurate video frame synchronization, multicast Precision Timing Protocol (described in IEEE
Standard 1588) is used to distribute time across a packet network. It is used on both media ports (ETH1 and
ETH2) for BMCA redundancy. This supports Best Master Clock Algorithm (BMCA) as per IEEE-1588-2008. The
XIP-3901-UDC-IP supports:
SMPTE 2059-2; locks the inputs and outputs on PTP
AES-67 profiles
one-step and two-step synchronization mode automatically
End-to-End Delay mechanism.
Multicast PTP only

Description
Domain
Number
Specify the PTP Domain Number the card is to use to synchronize its clock. A domain is an
interacting set of clocks that synchronize to one another using PTP. Clocks are assigned to
a domain by virtue of the contents of the Subdomain name or the domain Number (IEEE
1588-2008) fields in PTP messages they receive or generate.
The range is 0 to 127. The default value is 127.
