Master Configuration

To activate the master/slave control by activating the Act as Master option and enter the IP-number(s) of any 'Slave' stations, as described in the Control Settings topic.

Configuring scenarios

On each recording system, scenarios with the specific sources must be defined to properly balance the workload per recording system.

Scenario names should be chosen so that it is clear on which computer they were recorded, and to avoid accidentally overwriting data when moving them to a NAS or other external drive.

Presume a Scenario on the Master computer is named <My Scenario Name>, this name should also be used on the slaves, with a little add-on for identification.

Create Autostart Script

To ensure that on opening a scenario on the Master station, the corresponding scenario is also automatically opened on any of the Slave computers, a special auto-run script is required for each scenario on the Master recording station.

All that is needed, it the IP number of each slave and the name of the scenario that should be opened.

This script is named Autorun.MIScript and contains at least the following information:

[Header]

english = Open scenario on slaves

 

[Description]

Open scenario + Master/slave

 

[Commands]

 

Scenario.RemoteOpen = "<IP-NUMBER-SLAVE>", "<My Scenario Name>_<ComputerIDSlave>"

 

This script file must be stored in this location:

o..\Public\Documents\Mangold VideoSyncPro Studio Data\Scripts\Recording\<My Scenario Name>

Further details on this scripting functionality can be found in the section Scripting Abilities.
