Latency Expected
2 frames
*Protection against loss or degradation of picture. Low protection does not necessarily mean
picture loss or degradation will result, as this would depend on the network architecture and
numerous other factors.
**The term latency is referring to latency on the network. The network in
this context refers to the PIPM-R-7 module end-to-end — from video into IP Transmitter to video
out of IP Receiver, including IP switches along the way.
Unlike the five pre-built System Modes just described, each of which are "safe," the Advanced
Mode, described below, does not guard against a user applying contradictory settings that could
provide unpredictable results.
NOTE: When working with Advanced Mode, if the configuration settings become problematic,
you can always "revert" to one of the five pre-built System Modes to get the unit running again
with established internally compatible settings.

Video Clock Mode
Select which clock source you want to use for the video output. The clock selection determines
whether or not you need to use the Frame Sync in order to have glitch-free output.
1. PTP - PTP is recommended. Ideally, both the PIPM-R-7 and the video source would use PTP.
2. Video In - Use the input signal as the clock source. If you do not have PTP available, Lock to
Input is the next recommended choice and it allows for a glitch-free video output.
3. Freerun - Selecting Free Run requires that you use Frame Sync in order to prevent output
glitches.
PTP Domain
NOTE:
This is only applicable if PTP is selected for Video Output Clock Selection.
Select the PTP domain from values ranging from 0 to 127. This should match the
PTP domain configured on the PTP Grandmaster clock on the network.
