MagicQ User Manual 250 Version 1.4.9.0
27.5 Playback synchronisation between consoles
It is possible to carry out basic synchronisation of two or more consoles during playback by using the
ChamSys Remote protocol – either via serial or Ethernet. Synchronisation can be set for individual
playbacks, or for all 10 main playbacks. When the playbacks faders are raised, playbacks Go, Back or
Jump are pressed, the master console sends ChamSys Remote Protocol commands to the slave consoles.
Synchronisation on MagicQ PC is only available when connected to a MagicQ Wing or MagicQ Interface.
27.5.1 Configuration (MagicQ software v1.3.6.4 and above)
From v1.3.6.4 configuration of multi networking is simplified.
On all units set Remote Ethernet Protocol to Chamsys Rem (tx and rx). Note this is not required from
v1.4.8.6.
On all units that will be master units set the “Playback Sync type” option.
The Setup option “Playback Sync Type” has six options:
None: No synchronisation information is sent
Swap DBO Swap, DBO info only
Enhanced Playback Enhanced sync protocol (recommended)
Slave Slave (receive sync only)
Obsolete (was Pb) Obsolete Playback info only mode
Obsolete (was PB,Swap,DBO) Obsolete Playback, Swap, DBO mode
We strongly recommend you use Enhanced as this is more reliable on heavily loaded networks.
