so... reading thru the nifty stuff in the users group here, makes me want to panic even more.
right now it is monday night, we set up a show wednesday night, have a tech rehersal on thursday, can't be in the room friday, and the show is saturday. The throw is about 275 there will be 3 computers. a cable run will be absurd, 400+ and 500+ feet.
I'm gettin in way over my head here, but I've got an IT buddy that might help with the networking part of this.
We were wondering about things like:
Is there a lag accross the network, or is frame acurate synchronization the same as 2 or 3 cards in one machine?
Does the Operating System matter? thinking 2 machines with 98se and one with XP will be used.
Can PC #1 receive timecode and PC #2 and #3 will sync also?
Can I go to PC #2 and play with the on-screen programming of PC #1 that I can't see because it is located backstage in a completely useless position?
Any hints? or should I start soldering connectors?

yes yes, I'm sure this stuff is in the helpfile...
