Hello , I'll have to use two pixelmad on a single system .

the system it's made by using

two mac mini intel 1.66 . 2 giga ram .

and two artnet box output box .

Now I don't understood how to use the back up system , I'll set one mini as master and the other as back up . but how does that will safety save my show in case the fisrt mini crash / shut ?

thanks

it sends a mesage between computers to turn on and off the dmx output between machines.

It's a manual switch processs, but what's clever is that it can be used from either machine depending where your problem lies.

its turns the dmx output, on or off from a single computer - to a remote one.

If machine A is outputting dmx.
And Machine B is a backup.

You can switch machine B to output dmx and machine A to backup - with a single click - on either machine.

since PixelMad knows if there are other little brothers in the lan

I wish BackUP goes live if a specific pm goes off line ( Mac crash or power off or any other problem )

It' sthat possible ?

thanks
