Synchronize frame lock across a display cluster

Collaboration and configuration (advanced) > Set up Showcase for group presentations or clustered ray tracing >

When presenting across multiple displays or projection systems, it may be important to operate the displays in unison to create the appearance of a single display. The NVIDIA Frame Lock hardware and software enable you to create one large virtual canvas by using multiple displays.

Frame lock hardware and software requirements

The following hardware and software are required for frame lock synchronization:

Compatible graphics hardware and drivers.
Correct graphics driver settings. For example, synchronization must be enabled. In addition, the server frame lock settings must be set for machines presenting the host session and the client frame lock settings must be set for those machines joining the host session.
Synchronization must be enabled in Autodesk Showcase (see below).

For details on the supported hardware and how to set up frame synchronization in the graphics driver, refer to the NVIDIA documentation. In particular, NVIDIA’s ForceWare Graphics Drivers: Frame Synchronization User’s Guide.

After you have set up the NVIDIA frame lock hardware and drivers (see above), you need to enable frame lock for each client used as part of the cluster display at the time it joins the host session:
