Director Dropping Frames
Posted: 24 May 2014, 13:11
Using this setup viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3229 with two machines, I'm hoping to run a live show with Director. The "main" machine, the one that the Director machine is controlling is a VBOX with AMD FirePro W9000 in it. I'm using 4 of its 6 outputs to display to a center blended screen and two independent side screens. The "control" machine running Director is an older all-in-one Lenovo. I'm using it to fire the playlist, add live last minute data, etc...
When I run my show from the VBOX it is rock solid; it never drops a frame and according to the stats is only tapping about 10% of my GPU. If I control the same show, running on the same VBOX (with Runtime), from Director on the Lenovo it stutters dropping frames. I'm loading the exact same scenes and pressing "Take" and they drop frames. I did read that all the machines in a cluster should be identical, but does that mean I need to buy an identical powerhouse of a VBOX to run Director?
