Multiple Servers
5. Using the DMX Folder and File parameters, select a folder and movie file for
playback. It does not have to be the same movie as on the master layer.
6. With this slave layer, adjust the DMX value of the Play Mode parameter to a DMX
value between 80 and 99. The exact value determines which SyncID is used for
synchronization. For example, a DMX value of 80 synchronizes to SyncID number 1.
The two layers on separate servers will now synchronize their frame-by-frame playback.
You can disable synchronization at any time by changing the slave layer's Play Mode
parameter DMX value.
