Tracking Backup - Main Q List problem....?

Programming a show this week on an Eos Classic with Classic RPU in the network too. running release v2.5.

RPU as Master and Eos running as Backup. Q list 1 selected on the master play back on the Eos but on the RPU it had no master cue list selected. I had to manually go onto the RPU and tell it to load Q list 1 onto the master.

Surely in the instance of Master/Backup both consoles should always have the same cue list loaded on the master playback by default?! Isn't that the point of a tracking backup?...

Have never had to load the Q list separately onto the consoles when running Master/Backup, I think this maybe a problem with v2.5?

Thanks,

Max

this has been that way since 2.4. the reason is that the assignment of the master playback is user-based. can you confirm that your eos and your rpu have different user numbers?

Ah I see - I haven't been programming on an Eos recently. Yes they would have been running different users. I really don't agree that when the desk is assigned as a Backup it should "by default" not have the same cue list assigned as the Master.

It does have the same cue list assignment as long as it is the same user. It is only after you change users that you need to assign a cue list for that user.

Backup devices on an Eos network are backups for the whole system, not specifically for the device that is configured as primary. A backup device can be used as a the same user a the primary, or as a completely different user (just as any client on the network can). As long as your primary and your backup are configured as the same display user, it will behave the way you expect.
