NYE Countdown auto start

[elskin]

Hi,

Fairly new to Arena, getting to know it as I go, I've got planned a video countdown for NYE, Audio and Video, problem is I have 3 floors at witch I need to start the countdown simultaneously, can I some how get the video to play at 23:56 (the countdown is 4 minutes long) automatically so I don't have to run like a mad man thought the building to get them all started at the same time.

any help would be amazing


Thanks

if your machines are on the same network, you could start your clip via OSC or Artnet.

Found a solution, not the best but will do, to use Jitbit, and put it on a delayed timer, that way I can still keep an eye making sure its working, unless someone knows how to link it to the system clock, unfortunate they aren't all on the same network

this one can launch columns tied to the system clock:

phpBB [video]

- set up osc ports correctly in both Controller and Resolume
- create 2 empty columns in your VJ composition, set the playing layer clips to ignore column trigger if you want to keep your content playing
- place your countdown and fireworks videos into the top layer
- save composition in Resolume
- open composition in Controller
- right click on your scenes, and set up the desired launch time for both
- save composition in resolume again.
- VJ as usual
- watch the magic happen.
