Hi list,
I have still problems using the Multiuser Xtra in a peer to peer setup.
Here is what I have to do: I have hooked up 6 fast PCs, running Win2000, in
a peer-to-peer manner, TCP/IP protocol, 100 Mbit/s. Each of them runs a
projector, one of them serves as the server
errCode = pConn.waitForNetConnection("server user",1627, 6))
the other 5 are clients:
errCode = pConn.connectToNetServer(pUserID,"", gPL.serverIP, 1627, "sync")
In general it works fine, but synchronization is poor. For test purpose the
"server" sends a message to all clients, and on receipt of the message the
clients display a white flash. I would expect all white flashes to appear
with no noticeable delay. Instead, the flashes come one after the other, in
no reproduceable order, the delay time between the command given and the
last flash is about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds.
For the type of presentation this is not acceptable.
Has anyone done this before and got better results? Anything I could
improve?
I have read about UDP, but didn't test it, as it was said that data could
get lost, which I cannot afford to permit.
Any other idea?
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards
Michael
