Quickshow Timeline with multiple FB3 question

[jtnichol]

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out if I can just assign a track to a 2nd FB3 in quickshow or generally how to quickly have my second FB3 playback the cues in timeline. The only way I can get anything done is to right click on the cues in the workspace and assign them to play on scanner 1, 2, or both. Is there any way I can just make Track 1 for FB3 #1 and Track 2 for FB3 #2?

Right click on the trackname i.e.[track 2], then select track properties. It is not that different from cues...

Thanks Bart I'll try that...I'm also trying to change the global settings (x,y) stuff for just one controller. Every time I click to "show test pattern" it comes up on the first FB3 instead of the 2nd one I have....or changes that I make to scanner 2 affect scanner 1. I'll tinker with it tonight and report back. THanks.

This really is because I'm a noob overlooking something obvious here....I'm watching Pangolin tutorial vids and have read the manual. I just wanted to toss this question out.

Again...let me report back because I don't want to waste anyones time with a long tutorial. I'll figure it out with the tip from Bart and let you know if anything new comes up.

When you are in the projector setting there is a drop down with your fb3 serial number, click the pointy down arrow and select controller 2 by serial number.
I would recommend leaving the settings in here alone - default is 50% in the centre - and make your adjustments for the projector size and position in the projection zones area. Anything you change in the projector settings will affect all zones allocated to that controller (projector) which can limit what you can do.
One you are a little more familiar with the way you use zones I would open out the scale to 100% and then changing the scale in the zone setup will give you a bigger canvas to work with.

Hi JF,

Great question. Bart and Rob provided some good answers. Let us know if you need more.

By the way, if you could possibly manage the time and re-post this question on our QuickShow forum, we'll answer there too. Your question is good, and I'd like people reading the QS forum to also know the answer.
