Simultaneous (parallel) processing of Bang
When Bang is executed, it is usually processed from right to left. However, is there a way to do simultaneous processing (parallel processing) without delay?
Purpose: When Bang is executed, 8 display monitors are played back simultaneously without delay.
Please advise.
with two computers.
My question may have been difficult to understand.
I would like to run it on one PC.
Sorry if this is not a reply.
THILENIUS, thanks for writing!
You want to start 8 video players at same time,
which needs only 1 bang to start or whatever message,
but use bangbang which definitely has left to right order.
Your problem is not bang but how video players react to it.
little time difference between bangbang
output 8 -> 1 is marginal.
This....
I now understand what it all means.
I'm new to Max8...thanks for your kindness.
maybe my answer was difficult to understand, because i tried to be funny.
in a PC everything runs serial, and there is nothing you can do against it.
but for triggering video or audio events from data rate this is not a problem at all; you can send thousands of bangs during a single frame of your monitors, and things will still be in sync.
your main concern should be to have the GPUs in sync, though. at that interface you can actually experience bad surprises. but as for code, you can usually count on logical time.
THILENIUS, thanks for the advice!
Thanks for the basic idea about serial processing and pointing out that it can be synchronized regardless of the data rate!
I will look into the logical use of time.
Our current playback system consists of a Mac PRO 2012 and two NVIDIA NVS 510 2GB (not Mac compatible, but we were able to use them).
I would like to attempt to output 8 screens using the same display monitor.
