Synchro problems with HD1010 & HD 210

None

We are trying to realise a very simple application:

- 2 Players (1xHD1010, 1x HD210), each attached to a 24" TFT (DVI Input)
- Monitor 1 plays video "left.mg" in a loop, 720P
- Monitor 2 plays video "middle.mpg" in a loop, 720P
- Both videos have the very same length and should playback in a synchronized mode (+- 2 frames)
- Both players are connected to a network (TCP/IP)

On SD card 1 (master) we have:
- left.mpg
- autoplay_master.csv

On SD card 2 (slave) we have:
- middle.mpg
- autoplay_slave.csv
- blank.bmp

autoplay_master.csv:
VIDEOMODE 1280x720x50p

EVENTS videoend
STATE left.mpg:udpSend(playone) left.mpg

autoplay_slave.csv:
VIDEOMODE 1280x720x50p

EVENTS udp:playone videoend
STATE blank.bmp middle.mpg
STATE midle.mpg blank.bmp

--> Both players start up, but there is NO synchronisation at all!!
Any ideas what is going wrong??

For synchronization, we recommend use mpeg transport streams, and not mpeg program streams. The transport streams open faster and more efficiently.

On the support page, you can update to 3.1.73, and also download some sample sync scripts for synchronizing players.

The method you're using, with the csv files, won't work as well. But, you can still test that method once you make a couple changes.

Your csv files should be named "autoplay.csv". The _master and _slave won't work on the players. So, for each csv file, please rename to just autoplay.csv.

In your second csv file, you have midle.mpg misspelled on the second row of your csv file. And, under the udp:playone column in the second csv, middle.mpg should be listed on both rows.
