Resolume Forum

Hi

I have this problem, that every time I recieve SMPTE in Resolume Arena, it will play the SMPTE from a new point in time. The timecode is send from a q-lab computer, and split to the lighing desk and sound card attaced to the laptop runing Resolume.
When running a TC, Resolume is almost always behind, and the difference varies from 15frames to 3 sec. Its is not that resolume is a bit behind, that is the problem, but that it is different every time, so i have no change of syncing my content to the SMPTE.

Everyone who has this problem, or now a fix?

Im using Arena 7.13.2 runing on a Lenovo Legion i7, with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo sound card.
The frame rate and sample rate are all the same.

Thanks a lot!

What audio hardware you’re using for input?
What’s your buffer setting?

What is your buffer size?

Im using the following:
Arena 7.13.2 runing on a Lenovo Legion i7, with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo sound card.
The frame rate and sample rate are all the same.

Buffer size is set to max.

set Audio output device to "asio focusrite usb..."
and buffer to 192

try a 1024 buffer

Do a test with only qlab and resolume, smpte works very well for me...
Try to set a clip at 1:00.0 and qlab at 0:57.0
See if resolume starts at 1:00.0
3 seconds... Seems the time needed to grandMa2 to link to timecode... MA needs like 3 sec. of preroll to set new position for motorized...
In our last show my resolume was set in time (ex 1:00.0, 2:00.0 etc) and MA2 with 3 seconds of preroll before catching smpte
