When the above is true, the clock on the screen can NOT be used for official timing or the monitor review.

In some instances (and probably more now than before), the clock on the TV screen is synchronized with the official clock in the arena. In these instances, it can be used during the monitor review.
Didn't they used to have a TV camera on a clock and then put that onto the screen? I remember watching older games where it would be like that and it would look like the clock moved on the TV screen because the camera was bumped or something.
