Configuring the XIP 3901-GB-IP Application Using iControl
This section describes the control panels associated with the XIP-3901-GB-IP application and their use.
Network Panel
The Network panel is used to set the network configuration of the media and control Ethernet ports on the
XIP-3901-GB-IP.

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.

NMOS Panel
XIP-3901-GB-IP supports Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) AMWA IS-04 for device discovery and
registration and IS-05 for connection management. Furthermore, it supports AMWA BCP-002 recommendations
for Grouping NMOS Resources.
