pyrodigy Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hello dear ExpertsIs there any way to cancel 5 - 6 seconds delay between after push button(NO) and starting a show in the ''plays when triggered'' mode?Best RegardsVolkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I believe, as you have suggested, the delay only happens once on the first trigger and later things happen much faster.The cause of the delay is com resync. When the mini-director starts up it defaults to 19.2k which is the operating speed of the LOR Hardware Utility Program. Later when a show is triggered, it notices that the show has a baud rate of 57.6k and will switch speeds, and delay as the controllers all resync.Later when a subsequent trigger happens, the director is still running at 57.6k and there is no need to resync.I believe that if you created your shows with the 19.2k speed there would not be a delay ( I do not have a mini-director with me to test that )... Unless you have a lot of channels 19.2 will probably be fast enough. However I noticed that in the DC-MP3 there was a change early this year to make that first trigger faster by having the unit pick the speed of show 1 when waiting for triggers. I will look into having that same change incorporated into the mini.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrodigy Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hello DanNice to hear from you again and thank you for your quick response. In my application I would like to run a show with my PC and Mini director at the same time but as you quoted there is 6 seconds delay when triggered at 57.6k baud rate.The cause of the delay is com resync. When the mini-director starts up it defaults to 19.2k which is the operating speed of the LOR Hardware Utility Program. Later when a show is triggered, it notices that the show has a baud rate of 57.6k and will switch speeds, and delay as the controllers all resync. Yes it only happnes once on the first trigger after power on when i would like to run at 57.6k baud rate.I believe that if you created your shows with the 19.2k speed there would not be a delay ( I do not have a mini-director with me to test that )...I will run at 19.2k baud rate and let you know if there com resync delay.I noticed that in the DC-MP3 there was a change early this year to make that first trigger faster by having the unit pick the speed of show 1 when waiting for triggers. I will look into having that same change incorporated into the mini. Probably when will you look into having that changes into mini?And after you modified will you publish it as new firmware?Best RegardsVolkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi,We will add that to the mini's firmware. Will see if we can get it done quickly.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
