Now you can forget the Slaves! Everything else can be controlled via the Master:
- Choose Sync-Points and put them into the Sync List using the Position trackbar and the SET Sync Button. On this Points the Master and Slaves stops. After the Sync-Time (1-2500ms) the Master initiates a new start at this point for himself and each Slave.
- After each edit of your Playlist on the Master be sure to send the Playlist again to the slaves using Menu File| Send... If you have setup different filenames on the slaves just use the Menu Command File| Send absolute Frames to Slave or File| Send relative Frames to Slave. This will keep the slaves filename entries unchanged.
- Use File| Send relative Frames to Slave if you have different File-Lengths or like to have different In-Points on each computer. You may choose different In-Points on each slave. Using this command filenames and In-Points keeps unchanged on each slave while the Out- and Syncpoints are set relative to the Positions defined by the Master.
- Press Rewind to reset all Master/Slaves. Press start and see your movie synchronized.
- Adjust the Sync Time Trackbar to the speed of your Computers. Use Shorter Time (more left) on faster Computers.
- Choose Loop-Mode and/or Fullscreen-Mode. If you are in Fullscreen-Mode DblClick or Shift-Esc will bring you back to the interface.
- You can use Menu-Hot-Keys or self defined Filelist-Hotkeys to Start/Stop and Scroll thru the movie and files (May be Important if you like to make Photos of your installation or during live performance).
- If you like to trigger each Sync-Point manually, please check "Man. Trigger" Checkbox on Master and use the <Space> key to trigger playback. Use self defined Filelist-otkeys to jump to other files.
- If you have choosen a MIDI-In Port and had assigned a Midi-Key to a File you can trigger it by pressing the desired Key. Choose One Shot Mode in MIDI Menu to let the File run until you press a new Key.
- Use Auto-Start Checkbox for installations. Use an Alias of syncMaker in your Autostart-Folder to create full automatically boot-up (one-switch Museum solutions, they will love you!).
- Quit syncMaker to save all settings.
- Don't forget to register if you need this tool! Otherwise syncMaker will stop playback after a few minutes and does not allow storing the setup.
- Have fun !
