Using Time Synchronization in an Avid Interplay Environment
101
Note the following:
- Starting with version 2.6, the Interplay Transcode service and the STP Encode service
require you to choose during installation how ISIS workspaces are mounted: by drive
letter or by UNC path. For multiple ISIS workgroups, select UNC paths if the number of
workspaces required for the client exceeds the available drive letters. Mount the
workspaces before you start the service.
For more information on mounting workspaces as drives, see the Avid ISIS Client Manager
Help.
Using Time Synchronization in an Avid Interplay
Environment
The following two time sync methods are commonly used in Avid Interplay environments:
• Network Time Protocol (NTP): For detailed information on this method, search for A Guide
to Time Synchronisation for Avid Interplay Systems on the Avid Knowledge Base. This
document provides a guide for synchronizing many Avid products.
• Interplay Time Synchronization provided with the Avid Service Framework. This method is
described in the following section.
Using the Avid Service Framework Time Sync Feature
n
Slave Time Sync services are only useful to set the local PC clock. If you aren’t using your slave
Time Sync to set the local PC clock, you can disable the Time Sync service on that computer.
The Avid Time Synchronization Service enables time synchronization between different
machines in a workgroup. The Time Synchronization Service can operate in either Master mode
or Slave mode. In Master mode, the service retrieves a reference time from a configured time
source and redistributes it to the Slave services within the workgroup. The time source can be the
local PC clock, an NTP server, or an Adrienne timecode card installed in the server. If multiple
Time Synchronization Services are configured as Master, they coordinate among themselves and
identify one Primary service to distribute the time notifications (the others are in Backup mode
and silent until a Primary fails, at which time one of the Backups takes over). In Slave mode, the
Time Synchronization Service listens for time notifications from the workgroup and (optionally)
sets the local PC clock to match.
