DMP: How to improve sync'd VDCP Triggered playback from DMP-8000, pre-load button
Topic
- How can I sync playback from multiple DMP-8000's utilizing a VDCP trigger (Venus 7000 command frame)?
Environment
- Venus 7000
- DMP-8000 v6.4 or higher
- Show Control - Display Studio
Steps
- Create a pre-load button in Show Control for the same players/signs/content as your VDCP triggered command frame.
- Instruct the user to utilize the button as a "ready" where as someone would click that button to do the pre-load and then the switcher will launch the content using VDCP as normal.
- Hit cancel on the pre-load after the content has been triggered by the switcher and is currently playing.
This will load the content in to the buffer of the DMP-8000 player and will result in better sync between the players. Without actually using the full Pre-Load/Playback function from Show Control accuracy is affected slightly but results are better than the VDCP trigger alone.
