[BC] Clock display color

[Mike McCarthy]

Couple things...rotary clocks can be notoriously hard to read when it 
crunch time. Especially someone with less than 20/20 vision. Sure, it 
eliminates some mental gymnastics with the seconds arms and counting 
down.  But at the same time, they take up a lot of wall space, are 
pricey in relative comparison, and for the most part require separate 
power. I would love to have a facility replete with Leitch combo 
clocks.  But at $1200+ per display, they're really hard to justify.  And 
for the most part, they only operate on SMPTE or ESE time code. I'm not 
going to buy a $1K time code generator when I have a NTP server already 
in house.

Aside from the pure mental therapy it would instill, what purpose does 
slapping the PD while I'm on my way down the hall have anything to do 
with clocks?
