8083XDS-AD Analog and SD-SDI XDS Encoder
When you have properly configured the LTC reader, the time zone and DST Flag, and apply a valid
time code signal and input video, the 8083XDS-AD will show a letter T at the right side of the front
panel display when the time is being displayed. The time display will have a period (.) between the
hours and minutes if DST is in effect, otherwise a colon (:) will be displayed. When the 8083XDS-AD
arrives from the factory its daylight saving time and time zone settings may be different from yours, so
the MetaCast 2 software must be used for the initial setup and also at each daylight saving time
change. When the 8083XDS-AD is confident that the extracted time is stable it will update its internal
clock and display the message TIME UPDATED on the front panel display.
approximately 8 to 10 seconds after time code is first applied.
Sections A.4.2 and A.4.3 give the settings for the 8083XDS-AD for both UTC and Local Time LTC
sources.
