More importand tips and tricks for auto running video installations:

If you plan to make an Video-Installation with video projectors you should have some TEST-Frames at the beginning of your movies. Together with the HOT-Keys (see Menu) it allows very nice and easy configuration of your projector. If you sets the IN-Points after the TEST-Frames the frames doesn't appear during normal playback.

If the movie drops frames please check if you enable DMA Mode for your hard disk in the System Setup. 

If you using LAN connections it is recommended that you should deactivate automatic DHCP-Server. Using a DHCP-Server IP addresses may change on rebooting the computers so syncmaker PRO tries to access to the wrong IPs and will fail. If this is not possible in your LAN, contact your LAN Administrator to make sure that the DHCP-Server don`t change the IPs of the syncMaker PRO Master and Slaves Computers. An other possibility is to using the Network names (names of the computers in the network) instead of IPs.

If you plan an running an (art) installation which has to start and run automatically over a long period:
 

• Don't forget to disable "energy saving settings" on the computers. So there will be no shut down during the installation
• Don't forget to disable "automatic change clock on Summer/Winter" in the clock setup.
• If you like you can use Tweak-UI (you'll find it on the net) to allow automatic log in on startup of Windows. With Tweak-UI you can manage the boot-up of your computer. (e.g. No Scan-Disk)
• Disable all Virus Scanners, they slowdown the system and might like to update from time to time via the network.
• Use "Start on Power fail" settings in your BIOS setup to allow automatically bootup after a Power shutdown.
• syncMaker supports automatic closing during windows shut down process (e.g. pressing the power button of the pc). If lock mode is enabled syncmaker will not ask for file saving in this case.
