How should this work? Resolume doesn't talk with another resolume version via network to keep clips synchronised. It's not the same like with "Pandoras Box - Coolux" or "WatchOut - Dataton"
Like you say - Its a random delay. I think there is no hardware or sofware which syncs incoming PLAY cues.

I would be very interested to hear from you if you can manage that problem. Good Luck!

As Cosmowe says, sending midi data to all machines does not guarantee frame-sync.

Besides the tiny delays caused by the network, also one computer may have slightly more trouble playing a clip (because it happens to be doing some other process at that time). All this can cause offsets in the current frame.

One way to get it more tight, is to let all computers run on the same midi clock, and then set all the clips to beat snap. This should sync the triggers, and eliminate delay caused by system resources. You would still need to compensate for network delay though, but this can be done both in the audio/midi preferences and the Resolume preferences.

Hope that helps.
