Sync Buses

Sync Buses send channels of HippoSync between media players.

A Hippotizer has 16 Sync Buses that each can send HippoSync from a source media player to one or many target media players.

Sync Buses are visible on each Media Player by clicking the TC button:

Above the layer’s sync information is being sent to Sync Bus 4.

Any layer that chooses it’s Sync Bus in as Bus 4 will follow the source layer

Media Offset

As the Sync Bus carries a full HippoSync channel containing time and media control information, all target layers will show the same clip as the source layer. The target layer can show a different clip as the source by using the Media Offset control. For example, if the offset is set to Bank: 1, Clip: 1 and the source is set to Bank 2, Clip 1, the target will play Bank 3, Clip 2.

Sync Buses can be sent between systems using Sync Bus Link
