serkanyilmaz Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Has anyone experienced to use more than one controller and managed to use them all from the same navigator ? Can there be more than one Controllers in a system ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 No they have to be separate... you can't have two controllers running director on the same system.. They can be on the same network but not in the same system.If you want to use two controllers on the same system one is a "master" the others are "slaves"What are you trying to accomplish?

lakecranberry Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 jumping in..What do you mean by "master" and "slave"?I have two rooms that each would need a controller. Both rooms have hd tv, dvd and surround sound. How would two controllers be configured? would the same remote work in both rooms?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 lakecranberry,What Dan was trying to explain is that even if you have multiple controllers in the system, only one of them is the 'master' controller. You can have as many controllers as you need, each one providing it's own UI to an attached TV/LCD/Projector, as well as providing serial ports / IR / etc...Your dealer would just disable the director running on the controllers that are not being used as the master. He is calling those 'slave' controllers.You also said 'from the same navigator'... that doesn't really compute.Navigator is the UI portion of the system. There is a navigator that runs on the controller, providing the UI for on-screen devices as we described above. There are also navigators running on the mini-touch and 10.5" touchpanels. That's the UI. You can certainly have multiple navigators running in the system.If each room had a controller, providing a UI to each TV, you would have a remote for each room, but yes, if you were to take one remote to the other room, you can 'change rooms' on the remote, and use it to control the other room.Clearer?RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecranberry Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 RyanE,Thanks for the response. Much clearer. I am waiting on the second controller to get in. Have had no problems with the system to-date and looking forward to expanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
