Axon Sync

I've been playing with collage on our 2 axons. I'm having trouble getting the fixtures to stay in sync when sitting in the same look for a while. (10 minutes or less)

I've tried the media mode rewind preset and letting them go at the same time, which works great, but they still drift apart.

I've also tried using the sync to settings, but one thing I'm not sure of is do you have to set a value for in and out frame for sync to to work? Also if you let it run for a long time and it gets out of sync, then try to use sync to to rope it back into sync that doesn't seem to work. Should it?

I am running 1.4 on both machines, and they were bought at the same time. They are older units though if that makes a difference. Render time is consistently 100-200 higher on one machine. What is the accepted range for the same piece of content?

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I've read through the other posts and seen questions about gigabit ethernet. What is the difference? Aside from it being faster.

  • Matt,

    Only things in the network now are 2 Axons(Ids 1 and 2), 10/100/1000 switch, and cma laptop. IP's are auto-negotiating as:

    Axon1:169.254.242.80
    Axon2:169.254.127.133
    CMA: 169.254.157.64

    Running the same test as before the machines do not re-sync, and the syncPkts:in stays at 0 on both machines. Is that referring to the global clock or to frame clock as I am trying to do? (for that matter is there a document explaining all the fields in the stats screen?) SyncPkts Out increments steadily.

    Do I need to call you at this point?
