Specifying an Offset
If the NWE-TS output is to be viewed in a separate location from the timing reference input
source, you need to include an offset to the time. This enables the NWE-TS to watermark the
local time in the broadcast area. For LTC, the offset is normally set to 0, unless the program will
be broadcast in a different time zone than the NWE-TS location.
To specify an offset:
1.
From the Device View , select the Configuration tab.
2.
In the LTC Offset field, specify an offset using the following format: # hh:mm:ss where:
• # represents if you want to increase (+) or decrease (-) the offset by the indicated
value. For example, 00:00:04 adds an offset of 4 seconds.
• hh represents the number of hours to offset the time source by.
• mm represents the number of minutes to offset the time source by.
• ss represents the number of seconds to offset the time source by.
