My show file is a 3Mb+ file. It has about 420 channels.
 
It takes the scheduler about 15 to 20 seconds to loop. Is there anything I can do to speed up the cycle time. If someone has just driven up and it goes dark for that amount if time I am afraid they will think that the show has eneded for the evening. It also goes very dark since I also have turned off the street light.


Holding breath for DMX.

3MB??  Wow!  What is the event count on file/open?
 
I don't think we've ever tested on a single sequence that large before.  The largest I've tested with is one in my show which comes in at 950MB 950kB taking 2.5 seconds to open.

We have a short (less than 1 minute) voice-over sequence that's at the 'top' of the show schedule. Probably why I don't see any sort of delay at all..  Unless you really know there's a loop restarting you'd never know

I have one sequence thats 1.05MB - this is due to frequent use of W2E in some sections. The load time, though, is negligable.

278,189 events
2237 snap points
415 channels (inc 2 for doing temp marking)
 
3,342,519bytes in the file.
 
I would be happy to provide you with a copy to play with. I will have to use a file transfer service though because the file is a little large for e-mail.

That seems like a very high event count... am I correct in assuming there is a lot of W2E in this sequence?

Zero - Zilch - Nada.
 
It's just a lot of turning things on and off. I have 13 8 channel leaping arches.
 
Also I have some inflatables that I turn the channel on at the beginning of the sequence and leave it on for the whole sequence. I had to add a small timimg mark at the beginning of the sequence before Aurora would turn on those channels.
 
Could you imagine if I added a Firefly or two in the mix!
 
I will send you the file tomorrow if you like.
