Communication, starting with 5.9.0 will allow the MANUAL setting of the IP range of your projectors. So if you have a multiple-NIC computer system or devices that use Link-Local IPs that will confuse Communicator, you can now state where your projectors can be found rather than hoping Barco picks the right IP range if your computer has multiple choices. Yes, that was whispered in our ears at CinemaCon 2017 by a certain US partner ... just as Wesley Snipes walked by (no kidding)  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I've tried it in a couple of sites and it still won't find the projectors. So unless I've missed something, it is not functional yet (or not functional enough).  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-01-2017 10:11 AM                        Same here. I tried it earlier this week in an 11-plex that follows the old style Dolby IP scheme, i.e. on the management network, a Series 2 projector is 192.168.X.133 with subnet mask 255.255.255.128, where X is the auditorium number. I set my LAN card's IPv4 address to 192.168.1.250, subnet mask 255.255.0.0, so it should have been able to see all of them. I could ping all of them, and if I entered an address into Communicator manually, it connected to all eleven projectors. But when I did the manual search from 192.168.1.133 to 192.168.11.133, it only found, and displayed an icon for, screen 1's projector.  |  IP: Logged Tom Bert Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Belgium Registered: Apr 2010 posted 12-13-2017 03:47 AM                     quote: Steve Guttag I'm sad to say that manual IP range feature does not appear to work, at the moment.
