Strange glitch triggering timeline from Sunlite
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2013 5:03 am
Hello all, the good news and very cool update is we have successfully programmed an hour long fast paced dance and light show in a major Vegas hotel/casino. The scenes were programmed completely in Sunlite Suite II and dropped into the Easyshow timeline along with 60 gigs of AVI video and ear splitting rock tracks. When triggered by pressing play in Easyshow, the video track (with embedded audio) and dmx cues are dead on...now to the glitch
When we trigger jump points on the timeline via a button in Sunlite Suite II, there is about a 1/2 second delay. The lights trigger a full half second ahead of the video on the timeline. We thought it may be a buffering issue however a test with smaller files yielded the same result. Any ideas?
Secondly, there is a blackout when clicking from one place in the timeline to another (via sunlite buttons) even when the lighting cue is identical. Here's the scenario...We have a 1st act which runs directly into a 15 minute comedian's set. The set varies slightly from night to night so we have assigned a jump point in easy show to start the second act of the show...when the comedian tells his final joke the operator triggers the second half cue (which starts with the exact same lighting cue) however we experience a blackout.
Is there any way to avoid the blackout???
Thank you guys for any assistance. The show automation is fantastic if we can work past the glitches.
