Networking Multiple Systems
This software can perform as both a server and a client. Up to three computers may be connected together on an Ethernet
network and operate as a coordinated system for delivery of timed, simultaneous display of slide show images for a profes-
sional Shoot-Out with more than one resolution available. One network connection is allowed per serial number. A server
can accept up to 2 total client connections. All computers must be set to run the Shoot-Out software of the same year, but
may operate different resolutions within that same year; for example, this multi-user capability is only available for the DVD
Volume  or later release and, therefore, all
computers on the network must be running the same release software, not a prior year.
This software is copyrighted and an individual copy of the software must be purchased for each
computer to be operated in this network environment. The serial number accompanying your copy of the software (located
on the outside back cover of the DVD case) is required in order to run the software in the multi-user environment. Please
refer to the license agreement for details.
For the multi-user environment to work, you will need to first install the Shoot-Out software on at least two different com-
puters. These computers will need to be connected to the same network utilizing standard network data cables and a
network hub or router. If these computers are already connected to an internal network, the Shoot-Out application should
automatically detect the IP address. The application should display the IP address on the multi-user interface.
To start the multi-user environment, launch the Shootout software and click the “Multi-user” button. The top will read “Server
IP address is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX”. Jot down only the numbers. Click on the “Start Server” button. To start a client machine,
launch the Shoot-Out software and click on “Multi-user” button. Enter the IP address from the server (as described above)
in the bottom box. Click on the “Start Client” button. The server machine will begin to change the slides for the client. For
more than one client, repeat this setup process at the client only while entering the same server IP address.
For any other network questions, check with your network administrator. If the machines are not connected to a company
network, you can still connect server and client machines. First, connect all machines to an Ethernet hub. Choose a unique IP
address for each machine. These will need to be in the same IP block. We recommend 0..0., 0..0.2, 0..0.3, etc.
For Windows 95/98/Me/XP users:
Go to CONTROL PANELS -> NETWORK. Click TCP/IP and click PROPERTIES. Under the IP Address tab, select SPECIFY
AN IP ADDRESS. Enter a unique IP address for each machine such as described above. The subnet mask should be
255.255.255.0. Click OK. Restart the machines and launch the Shoot-Out software.
For Windows 2000 users:
Go to CONTROL PANELS -> NETWORK AND DIAL-UP CONNECTIONS. Click LOCAL AREA CONNECTIONS – Right click,
select PROPERTIES. Click TCP/IP and click PROPERTIES. Under the IP Address tab, select SPECIFY AN IP ADDRESS.
Enter a unique IP address for each machine such as described above. The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0. Click
OK. Restart the machines and launch the Shoot-Out software.
For Macintosh users:
Go to CONTROL PANELS -> APPLETALK. Choose ETHERNET under “Connect Via.” Go to CONTROL PANELS -> TCP/IP.
Under “Connect Via”, choose ETHERNET. Under “Configure”, choose MANUALLY. Under “IP Address”, enter a unique IP
address for each machine. The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0. Restart the machines and launch the Shoot-Out
software.
