After making any changes press the Okay button to update the PC clock. After exiting the Date/Time
Properties screen you will need to click the 'Sync MetaCast 2 and Encoder' button on the Clocks
Toolbar to apply those new settings to MetaCast 2. Note that this will set the time, date and time zone
into the 8084AD, however the time will be overwritten by the LTC connected to the 8084AD. Proceed
to the next section to configure MetaCast 2 to update its time clock now from the 8084AD.
B.5.4 Configuring MetaCast 2 to Read the Time from the 8084AD
Set the Time Source on the Clocks page to Encoder to have MetaCast 2 synchronize its clock from the
8084AD (which is reading your house time code). Normally this will only synchronize MetaCast 2's
Broadcast Time, but you can also use MetaCast 2 to set the PC Clock by checking the option on the
General Options page. If you do this, additional instances of MetaCast 2 connected to other 8084AD's,
can also be synchronized by selecting PC Clock as their time source.
B.5.5 Setting the Time Zone
Next you will need to set the time zone so that the 8084AD and MetaCast 2 can properly convert
between UTC and local time. Click the 'Set Clock' button on the Clock page toolbar to open the Set
Time page. To select a time zone, click the down arrow on the combobox and select your region from
the dropdown list. The Date and Time options on this page are not available since this information will
be taken from the Encoder; however, the Daylight Saving settings will need to be configured to match
your house time source. See section B.5.6 for more information on setting the Daylight Saving Time
options.
