Again, ideally both the cameras and the 3P LAY need to be genlocked. If they are not genlocked to
the same source as the 3P LAY output, a TBC (Time Base Correction) operation is applied - this can
involve frames being dropped or inserted to maintain sync, which is not as desirable.
Note: For a deeper explanation of genlocking, please see Section 6.4.2.4.
4.4.5 NETWORK CONNECTION
Connecting 3P LAY to a local area network (LAN) may require additional steps beyond those
mentioned back when we discussed Microsoft Windows ™ activation (Section 4.2). Here is the
basic procedure involved in joining a workgroup:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the port on 3P LAY ’s back plate to your external network
connection or router.
2. (If necessary) – close the 3P LAY Desktop, and use Exit to Windows in the Administration
Screen’s Shutdown pane to go to the Microsoft Windows™ desktop.
3. Right-click on the My Computer icon, and select Properties.
4. Scroll down in the right hand pane of the System panel that opens to find the Computer
name, domain and workgroups settings area.
5. Click the Change Settings link at right.
6. Click the Computer Name tab of the System Properties panel that opens.
