Running Sunlite from QLab using MTC
Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:15 am
The tutorial on Nicolaudie TV is very basic regarding MTC.
I currently have a show programmed and running with Easyshow as the timeline/media player running all audio and video, which is in turn running Sunlite for my lighting cues. Unfortunately Easyshow has started crashing repeatedly and has not been updated since 2006, therefore I need to move the media to a far more stable platform to avoid the nightly crashes during live performance.
I have selected QLAb for my media and it also generates Midi Time Code. I have a midi interface connecting my mac to pc. The mac is running QLAB and generating MTC. My PC (my sunlite computer) is recognizing the midi clock when I use MIDI-OX to confirm I have communication.
Here's my question. In what ways can sunlite interface with midi time code?
1. Do I need to translate all lighting cues ive programmed from each song in the show into individual cycles?
2. Once I do this, how do I syncronize the cycles to communicate with timecode?
3. Can sunlite communicate or work with MTC in any other way?
4. How can I confirm sunlite is seeing (receiving) the time code signal?
I need assistance quickly please. I posted about easyshow crashing days ago and still have not received a response. I need to get this system stable as it is a nightly show.
Thank you
