Syncker-Specific Options

There are 2 types of Syncker-specific options:

  • Command-line options, which are used to specify screen configuration, broadcast address of the master computer, TCP and UDP ports on the application start-up. These options have the same syntax as the other start-up command-line options.
  • Console options that can be run from the application console on the master or slave sides.

Command-Line Options#

Common Options#

The following command-line options can be run on master or slave application start-up:

Name Description Arguments Default
sync_view_config Specifies a screen/projection configuration to be used. This configuration represents a configuration of monitors, onto which the application is rendered, or projectors that project the application onto projection screens (1 unit = 1 meter). Projection and modelview matrices are automatically calculated on the basis of the camera position and slave name. When no configuration file is specified, all slaves clone master's display.
Notice
Check the full list of configuration requirements here.
Shell commands
-sync_view_config "my_project/my_config.sync"
A path to the .sync file. No configuration is set by default.
sync_master Sets the flag indicating whether the computer is a master.
Shell commands
-sync_master 1
Master flag. 0
sync_tcp_port Sets the TCP port to be used to send and receive critical messages with guaranteed delivery.
Shell commands
-sync_tcp_port 8891
TCP port number. 8891
sync_tcp_ping_port Sets the TCP port to be used for ping messages.
Shell commands
-sync_tcp_ping_port 8892
TCP port number. 8892
sync_udp_port Sets the UDP port to be used to send and receive non-critical messages.
Shell commands
-sync_udp_port 8890
UDP port number. 8890
sync_view Sets the view (display or projector stored in the configuration file) to be used. This option is equivalent to sync_view_0.
Shell commands
-sync_view display_name
Name of the display/projector stored in the .sync configuration file. -
sync_view_0 Sets the view (display or projector stored in the configuration file) to be used for the 1st monitor/projector of the computer.
Shell commands
-sync_view_0 display_name
Name of the display/projector stored in the .sync configuration file. -
sync_view_1 Sets the view (display or projector stored in the configuration file) to be used for the 2nd monitor/projector of the computer.
Notice
To be specified when a multi-monitor configuration is used.
Shell commands
-sync_view_1 display_name
Name of the display/projector stored in the .sync configuration file. -
sync_view_2 Sets the view (display or projector stored in the configuration file) to be used for the 3rd monitor/projector of the computer.
Notice
To be specified when a multi-monitor configuration is used.
Shell commands
-sync_view_2 display_name
Name of the display/projector stored in the .sync configuration file. -
sync_view_3 Sets the view (display or projector stored in the configuration file) to be used for the 4th monitor/projector of the computer.
Notice
To be specified when a multi-monitor configuration is used.
Shell commands
-sync_view_3 display_name
Name of the display/projector stored in the .sync configuration file. -
sync_view_4 Sets the view (display or projector stored in the configuration file) to be used for the 5th monitor/projector of the computer.
Notice
To be specified when a multi-monitor configuration is used.
Shell commands
-sync_view_4 display_name
Name of the display/projector stored in the .sync configuration file. -
sync_view_5 Sets the view (display or projector stored in the configuration file) to be used for the 6th monitor/projector of the computer.
Notice
To be specified when a multi-monitor configuration is used.
Shell commands
-sync_view_5 display_name
Name of the display/projector stored in the .sync configuration file. -

Master Options#

The following command-line options can be run on the master application start-up:

Name Description Arguments Default
sync_broadcast_address Sets a broadcast address of the master computer that is used to broadcast messages to slaves over the network.
Shell commands
-sync_broadcast_address "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
A broadcast address in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format. 127.255.255.255

Slave Options#

The following command-line options can be run on the slave application start-up:
