Graphic Functions: Synchronizing Content
After designating a master fixture, you can synchronize the content of 
other Axon or DL.2 fixtures to any Object on the master in terms of 
playback time, rotation or both.
Synchronization Overview
Any Axon or DL.2 media server can synchronize playback between graphic objects projected 
from different servers on the same Ethernet network. Synchronization is not “Slaving”. With 
“Slaving”, the master’s DMX values for the synchronized function(s) overrides (replaces) the 
slave DMX values. When synchronizing content for Axon or DL.2 fixtures, the appropriate DMX 
channels for all the “synced” fixtures and the “master” fixture must be set to the same values.
Fixture Identification
A fixture ID default of 1 is assigned to every DL.2 and Axon server on your Ethernet fixture 
network. For synchronization to work, you will need to assign each DL.2 and Axon server a 
Unique Fixture ID from 1 to 255 using the CMA (see Viewing and Editing Server Configuration on 
page 204
) or through the onboard Menu System (DL.2 fixtures). 
Playback Timing 
Synchronizing playback sets all applicable fixtures to a master clock so that all fixtures have 
a definite, synchronized starting point when playing back their sequences (or loops). The 
master fixture determines the sequence length for all the other fixtures in the link, regardless 
of the number of programmed scenes or the sequence length of the individual fixtures 
synchronizing to the master.
When the master fixture reaches the end of the selected media file segment, all fixtures will 
restart at In Frame point of their media file segment (regardless of whether the playback has 
come to the selected Out Frame) and all the clocks will be reset to zero. For example, if a 
synchronizing fixture’s media segment has a shorter sequence length than the master 
fixture’s media file segment, it continuously repeats its sequence until the master fixture 
resets all the clocks. If a synchronizing fixture’s media segment has a longer sequence length, 
it restarts at the In Frame point before completing its entire sequence.
