#PAR on two PC's
3 messages in this thread
I know this is probably trivial, but how can I (if I can) run PAR from two
separate PC's? I have Lantastic and I want to run PAR on one PC while the
other is rendering to the PAR HD. Is it just a matter of the driver? Currently
the PAR is on PC1, I tried to start PAR from PC2 by going into the par
directory on PC1 from PC2, but it told me I don't have the driver. What
driver? And can I just copy this driver over to PC2? Or is there more to
this? Thanks.
P.S. I want to be able to see everything from PC2 on the same monitor that PC1
outputs to.

Don't worry, it is possible. I did it with Lantastic except for a little
problem using PC1 while PC2 was rendering to PAR. You need to put the PAR drive
as a network drive. I am not really sure if this is the right way but it
works!. Ideas Welcome.
James,
To be able to render to the PAR which is located on a second system with
Lantastic you need to specify the PAR as an "other" device, like you would
specify "CD-ROM" for a CD device. Then Lantastic will see it as just another
drive which you can render to or copy files to from any drive or system which
is linked.
