Topic: BPM Beat with Virtual DJ & ShowXpress on 2 Laptops?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have the BPM/Beat feature working with Virtual DJ on my main DJ laptop, so the lights chases stay in sync with the song I am playing. How do I get the beat to sync up between Virtual DJ and ShowXpress if I use 2 different laptops? One laptop running Virtual DJ, and the other running ShowXpress?

Thanks for any input.

Brad

Only way i managed to get this to work was by using the booth audio output of my mixer (or controller) and feed that into the mic input of the second laptop.

You just need to ensure you keep the level down on the booth output.

You may also take a look at experimental VDJartnet plugins -pluginS because yes there are many sources- to sync PCs over network
as it seems ShowXpress accepts Art-Net protocol

Take a look at the previous topics "Controlling QLC+ DMX lighting program from VDJ8..."

VBAN protocol is fine to hear some stream or for broadcasting but will introduce too much latency so that lightning Beat will mainly match one of the next play one
