Although the “Tracking Backup Slave” dialog box must remain open on the slave computer, you
can still observe the operation of the slave’s windows in the background by clicking on the
Patch, Programmer, Palettes, Control Booth, Performance or Levels buttons in the
dialog box.
The slave operates on the same show file name as the master, but with “_tb” (tracking backup)
appended to the name. This alerts you as to which show file is the master and which is the
slave, preventing you from inadvertently operating the backup computer and tracking in
reverse thus overwriting any changes to the proper master show.
As the master show is modified, the items listed above are automatically tracked by the slave
show which is also automatically saved whenever the master show is saved.
As mentioned above, anything that modifies the master show that is not automatically tracked
will cause a warning banner message to be displayed on the master. This tells you that tracking
is suspended and a resync is needed and a button is presented for that purpose. When you
resync, the master sends the show data over the network to the slave which will load the data
(via a restart) and reconnect with the master.
Click on “Tracking Backup Slave” and Clarity will start and automatically connect to the master.
The slave will auto-reconnect if the connection is lost.
36.3 OPERATING FROM THE SLAVE
In the event of a main system crash, Close the “Tracking Backup Slave” dialog box on the
slave and the slave back-up will already have the same looks running live.
