Can't run show with Showtime Central

Recommended Posts

We usually have the showtime central run our show the past couple of years. We have a total of 3 ac controllers and this year we have added a pixel tree controlled by a pixie 8. This is the part I completely missed out when doing my research, is getting it all to run together. I've tried the way we've always done for the past years which was daisy chain the cat5 ethernet cables from the showtime central to the controllers and when I tested it the pixel tree would work fine but the others were either really slow with the response or a bit behind. Is there any way I can try to run all the controllers while still using the sd card with showtime central?

If the AC Controllers are all Gen3 - then run the network speed at 500k Enhanced.. If the AC Controllers are Pre Gen3 - you may need to run the Pixie on its own network

We do have one AC controller that is Pre Gen3 though we do have a N2-G4-MP3 Director on its way. Will I able to have the pixel tree on it's own network and the other AC Controllers to another network and can I also connect the N2-G4-MP3 Director to the showtime central or the FM transmitter from the showtime central?

The N2 will be used in place of the Showtime Central Mini Director, But you will have to provide power to the FM Transmitter - the AC controller(s) will be on REG network 115k - the Pixie will be on AuxA network 500k Enhanced... You will need to assign the Pixie to AuxA network in your preview, then open existing sequences, to import that change... Then use the "Hub" to recreate the Show SD Card
