Time zone compatibility
nControl and nTouch 180 units run Microsoft Windows, whereas the NION uses Linux. This
means there are compatibility considerations for automatic time synchronization between the
two operating systems.
nControl and nTouch 180 units use a mapping file, called timezones_lut.txt, to map Windows
time zones to Linux time zones. This file is located on the nControl or nTouch 180 unit.
The file contains entries like this one:
Eastern Standard Time|America/New_York
This declares a mapping from a Windows time zone (Eastern Standard Time) to a Linux time
zone (America/New_York). So, for example, if an nControl unit is set up as the time server, the
Eastern Standard Time setting on the nControl unit would be translated to America/New_York
on the slave NIONs.
Note: The mapping file contains a comprehensive list of time zones for both systems, but it is
possible that NION, nControl and nTouch 180 units are being run in a part of the world which
uses a time zone that is not in the mapping file. In this case, you will need to add a new
mapping for the local time zone. For more information, see Making a new time zone available
for selection (on page 29).
Setting up synchronization
You want to be able to set the time
and date on any MediaMatrix node on
the network manually, and for the
settings to then be automatically
assigned to the others.
On all MediaMatrix nodes:
1. Navigate to the Time and Timezone tab.
2. Clear the Time Server box.
3. In the Authority list, click normal.
4. Click Set.
If you want to adjust the time and date, perform these
steps on any MediaMatrix node:
1. In the Time (24hr) box, type the new time in the
format HH:MM:SS.
2. In the Date (mm/dd/yy) box, type the new date in
the format mm/dd/yy.
3. Under the Date (mm/dd/yy) box, click Set.
4. If you are using a NION, under Timezone,
specify a continent and country.
5. If the country has more than one time zone, in the
Zone list, click the time zone.
Tip: Where a country has only one time zone, you
