Graphic Functions: Synchronizing Content

Synchronization Parameters

Sync To

You use the Sync To parameter to identify the Media Server you want a Graphic Object output to Synchronize with. You can synchronize any graphic object output on one server to any other graphic object output on another server.

You can only synchronize output to one media server. However, you can synchronize outputs from multiple media servers to the same server. The Ethernet link can support multiple synchronizations at the same time.

Default DMX Value: 0 = No synchronization

Each fixture on the network is assigned a fixture ID. Currently, synchronization can be with only one media server. The Synchronization server is selected with the Sync To parameter channel of Graphic Object One. The Sync To parameter channels for Graphic Objects 2 and 3 are reserved and default to 0.

Sync Mode

The Sync Mode parameter defines the type of synchronization between Graphic Objects. You can synchronize to the frame of the movie, the 3-D object rotation either forward or reverse, or both.

When using the Sync Mode parameter, keep the following in mind:

Any Sync Mode value above 15 (16-255) defaults back to 0

Any settings affected by the synchronize mode you select need to be mirrored on both objects to Sync correctly.

Setting a Graphic Object to sync to itself will have no effect.

DMX Default Value: 0 = no sync type selection
