Parameters of Network Management

The port configuration must be identical for all the computers used in the network configuration.



Multiscreen Options

Synchronization

  • Select No sync so that there is no software synchronization between the screens. Leader and Followers display the rendering as they have finished the calculation.

    If the hardware used is not powerful enough, there may be rendering problems, as the display of different points of view, between the screens.

  • Select Software Framelock to get a software synchronization. This mode guarantees a synchronized rendering on all screens. The Leader gives instructions to all Followers. Followers calculates the rendering in an internal memory. When calculation is over, the Leader asks for the copy of the data on the screens.

  • Select Hardware Framelock to get a hardware synchronization. This mode guarantees a synchronized rendering on all screens with specific synchronization modules and is more powerful than Software Framelock. The Leader gives instructions to all Followers. Followers calculate the rendering in an internal memory. When calculation is over, the Leader asks for the copy of the data on the screens.

    Examples of hardware to use are AMD S400 or Nvidia Quadro Sync.

Multicast

Multicast IP

  • Multicast IP corresponds to the movement control port when no sync is used. The range of the Multicast is between 224.0.0.1 and 239.255.255.255.

Port

  • Type the port number in the Port group box.

Display Socket

Display socket corresponds to the lighting control TCP port.

  • Type the port number in the Port group box.

Note: Display socket port number must be different from Multicast IP port number. They are already set by default.

Automatic Start

Automatic start corresponds to the port the Daemon communicates over. It waits for the leader to start.

  • Type the port number in the Port group box.

Softlock

Softlock corresponds to the synchronization and movement communication port.

  • Type the port number in the Port group box.
