To clarify.. Queue Manager allows you to Render Multiple Frames with Multiple Machines over a Network. You can not Render a Single Frame over multiple machines in a Network.

I recently finished up several Shorts for a client and made use of the Network Rendering to Render the 15 Second and 30 Second spots along with the 1 Minute and 2 Minute Indepth Spots using Queue Manager. The 2 Minute Indepth Spot would have taken about 18 hours to Render on my best machine, but took less than 4 hours to Render over the Network. That is the purpose of the Network Rendering. Images were compiled in Adobe and soundtracks added.

You can use Queue Manager to Render Stills Locally, but it will not Render the Stills over Multiple Machines, so the time will not improve for a Per Frame rate.
