Sync w/ multi units

Was wondering if anyone has had trouble with running multiple units staying in sync with each other? :confused: 1.3.2 software, running NOT collage. but trying to fire same content via console. Have had no problem in the past, but now since this lastest software upgrade - very much repeatable problems with this issue. causing client to rethink the usage of DL2 units for shows:mad:.

after a year of usage, now having this issue. not good. just trying to find out with anyone else has had this issue or if is it more a local issue within the upgrade of the OS or else?:dunno:

    let me see what i find out tonight when the venue allows us back into the theater and i can see what i find out with this fixtures. if i still have issues, i will PM you and we can talk about what to do in the future. Since after tonight we will return these fixtures and are planning for our last few shows next month with this current show. I then can talk with you on what move we make as far as how we can use the DL2 units for these shows to make the last of this current show stable or not.

    thanks for the info. i will talk to you later tonight or atleast leave you a message of what i find out. i am current in the northern commonwealth of the very southern sister commonwealth that you I believe are in currently.

    thanks for your assistants scott, talk to you soon

    I generally have better results (in terms of things happening at the correct time) by switching media by changing between layers rather than changing files on the same layer, this also enables you to pre load your rewound & paused media onto a layer whilst its intensity is at zero, then your GO cue is actually a GO and a fade/snap between layers. This technique seems to be reliable.

    thanks for your input - as far as programming my media - pre-loading my files within other layers that are not used is a standard usage of my servers. The result of change within the units when video cards were changed out. Thus being two older units with three newer units gave me a problem on that show that had been programmed over a year ago with using the same five units for all year. then when you go do a one off and re-build that show having different build of units cause slight playback problems in the way I had recorded the cues over a year ago. Going back and re-recording the problem-matic cues and selecting functions that Scott had recommended to make sure was selected with the new video cards that are in place now - helped solve the problem and got me thru that performance. Since then, the client has now moved on to other media servers with the current outing of shows for 2007.

    the problem with the DL2 was not a bad issue - just caught me by surprise since the show had been written so long ago and now issue prior to the gear change, now that is known as well as watching how you program cues. all issues are cleaned up and working well.

    thanks for your info
