LD2000 react very slow on network

Lasersource

Hi All,

I tried to find any thread about the same problems. but i couldn't find any whit a good anwser. I tried a view things as mentioned in other threads to solve the problem but so far nothing....

Our stuff:

1x LD2000 Basic
2x LD2000 Intro

Connected as follow:
Laptop -> Cat-5 cable -> LAN switch -> (very short) cat 5 cable -> QM boards in rack housing. -> lasers / dmx etc.....


Running the LD2000 on a laptop, a Dell XPS M1530.(a 10/100mb line) with Windows 7.

Between the laptop and the LD cards we use mostly a 100m Cat-5 cable. in the firewall we made an exception for LD. So i think that couldn't be a problem.

But, It runs sometime very slow, so slow i can't work with it. the other times it runs also slow, but it is workable. When i test a show (with lasers and the programmed DMX fixtures attached (8 LED lights, 6 channels)) it runs also slow. i put the preview off, so the program only sends laser and dmx singnals to the QM boards.

But the lasers 'skip' parts of the show. what i mean, a straight line turning once about the X axis it stuttered. and sometime it skip a part like 1/8 of the circle.
For show this isn't acceptable for us and the costumer.

Any body ideas?

Before some ask us,
we tried to start pangolin and play the show with a very short Cat-5 cable (3 meters) but the same, like we didn't change the cable.

The laptop we use is a standard laptop, not very fast and powerfull. can this be a problem?

Hope somebody has an idea to solve it.

Have a nice day all!

Email contact... what a great support forum this is... :(

Others might also be interested in your solution, please don't make a secret of it.

My advice: try a different network adapter, Intel for example.
 
I am sorry Decix, but as soon as there is a 1 click solution, it will be placed online.
If you have a problem like this, please contact me.

The problem can be solved with a registry entry. Something i can't post on the forum. So thats why i asked if he could contact me directly.
His problem was indeed solved with the fix i send him.

greets, Bob

Yes I had QM2000.NET stutter-problems, but only with LivePRO (desribed here).
I was able to solve this by not using my internal Realtek-NIC but instead I bought a Intel PCI-X NIC.
With that the stutter was reduced by 98%, but sometimes it's still there.
QM2000 will only run perfectly smooth (without any stutter at all) when it's placed into the internal PCI-slot.
If your registry edit is an solution for my remaining 2% .NET stutter problem, then yes: I'm interested.
Btw... I have a dual-core CPU and already tried switching the process to 1 core exlusively, did'nt help.

Thanks anyway for your attempt to help via Email.
Unfortunately the patch is only for Win7, I use XP.
 
it is slow - there is nothing you can do about it

you can program on a PC with a QM inside
and only at the show use the laptop friendly

Hi Aricha,

I am already trying another approach.
Until now i have very good results, but i need confirmation if this different approach works.
