another sync problem

I've got 2 DL2s in a 1X2 collage. I uploaded a custom graphic that is just some bold text...white on black. Then I put the graphic in a Shake n Bake effect. After a while I'm seeing the fixtures get out of sync, causing the text to split from the collage mode. I've messed with the sync to and sync type, but this isn't a video clip, it's a jpeg. The only movement is from the Shake n Bake effect. I ended up resetting the fixtures, and now they are synced again. I guess I don't fully understand the sync options. "Sync to" is to assign a graphic layer a device ID to sync up with? Is this the ID I gave it using the CMA? "Sync type" is what? For this, do I put "sync type" to the graphic layer I'm using? I think I tried all this, but got no results.

  • Hey Scott,
    I just want to make sure my numbers jive with yours. Of course these are all exaggerated numbers to make sure for plenty of headroom.

    Intel Xeon Quad Core 64 Bit Processors (5300 Series)
    About $1,200 a piece

    Tyan, SuperMicro, Intel Motherboards (mid class with 4 SATA slots and PCIe)
    About $600 a piece

    nVidia or ATI Graphics PCIe Card (with upper mid class GPU)
    About $1,000 a piece

    1 Gb DDR 667MHz ECC Memory DIMs
    About $250 a piece

    100Gb 7200 RPM SATA Hard Disk (For XPe)
    About $100 a piece

    64Gb Solid State Hard Disk (45Mb to 65Mb per sec)
    $3,500 a piece

    PCIe Video Capture Card (SD or HD Component or SDI)
    $1,200 a piece

    Custom Case with Fans and Redundant Power Supply
    $1,000 for all

    So To build a System:
    Two Quad Core Xeon, 2Gb Memory, 256Mb GPU
    100Gb Main Drive, 64Gb Media Drive, Case, PSU, and Fans
    Looks like about $11,000

    Now I realize this is just for the hardware but $11k doesn't seem like $30k. Even if HES produced an enhanced version of the Axon engine, it seems to me like it would be able to leave shipping for well under $20k, right? I'd be willing to play that much if it meant frame accuracy and high resolution.

    What's your feedback?
