Troubleshooting Sync and Timing Issues in Projection Mapping

Sync and timing issues cause content to be out of sync or mistimed. Fix timing problems for coordinated, professional installations.

Common Timing Issues

Content Out of Sync: Content elements not synchronized with each other.

Multi-Projector Sync: Multiple projectors not synchronized.

Playback Timing: Content timing doesn't match intended timing.

Animation Timing: Animations not timed correctly.

Content Synchronization

Layer Timing: Verify layers start and animate at correct times.

Property Timing: Check if animated properties are timed correctly.

Sequence Timing: Ensure sequential content is timed properly.

Multi-Projector Sync

Output Timing: Verify outputs from same computer are synchronized.

Network Sync: If using network sync, verify network timing.

Manual Sync: Manually synchronize projectors if automatic sync unavailable.

Timing Offset: Account for any timing offsets between projectors.

Playback Issues

Performance: Performance issues can cause timing problems. Address performance first.

Frame Rate: Ensure consistent frame rate for smooth timing.

Playback Speed: Verify playback speed is correct.

Best Practices

• Test timing before installation
• Verify sync in multi-projector setups
• Address performance issues that affect timing
• Document timing settings for consistency
• Test timing from viewing positions

Proper timing ensures coordinated, professional installations. Address timing issues to maintain synchronization.
