Hi there,
i need some help with overcoming a latency problem with a led video wall using 2 outputs from a server std.
The System i am using is a Coolux server standard controlled by a Manager Pro. The led wall is 2540 x 360 pixel surface controlled by 2 processors (this is due to the limitation of the led processor only being able to handle a 1920x1080 max res.)
My client has had custom content made for the screen at the correct resolution in a .png image sequence which i have then converted to .mxl at 20k bitrate
i have then scaled the project on each of the outputs to fill the screen.
The issue i have it that there is some noticeable delay between the left and right half of the screen particularly during the faster motion graphics where flashes occur 1 -2 frames late on the right hand screen. I should point out that it wasn't my idea to have 7:1 content!! we are only running 1 layer of content at a time when the delay happens.
i have tried changing processors, removing every piece of equipment from the system that could introduce lag etc and the problem persists.
i have also tried increasing the memory size, turned on fluidmotion and re encoded at a lower bitrate.
if necessary i can do the scaling externally but the added latency will not be good for the occasional imag layer we have in the project.
I have a digital matrox triple head that could be used but not sure of the process with drivers etc or if this will fix the problem. i can also try splitting the content but not sure of the workflow once i have done the split.
can you offer any advice on a solution or where i'm going wrong and if i can use the triple head with a server pro?
thanks for your Help
