Synchronize players to start playback
simultaneously
Introduction
All video players can synchronize to start media playback simultaneously. In case of a loop, players will
wait each other to start a new loop together. As a first step, you shall activate this option for each player
in menu>scenario settings>Playback start synchronization. [SYNCHRO] is the tag to synchronize
players by defining Master player, Slaves players and contents to synchronize.
Groups
You can make work together several groups of players in a unique network by changing their com port.
Port 44830 is used by default. This setting is performed in menu
Scenario
All payers having the same port com number
settings>Playback start synchronisation.
will belong to the same group.
For example group 1 gathers all players with port 44830 and group 2 gathers all players with port 44831.
Thus when a master player from group 1 sends sync order on the network, all players from group 1 will
react.
Setting Master player
Create folders as for any playback. Inside these folders, complete the filename that will be read as a
Master with the tag [SYNCHROxxx].
Create folder 001[J000]
insert following files:
Lion1 [SYNCHRO001].mp4
Cat.mp3
Dog [SYNCHRO002].mov
files with tag [SYNCHRO] will send an order through the network. If other files are inside the folder,
They will be read without sending any order. Thus you can playback some files with synchro and
some other without.
Setting a slave player
Create a folder at the root of the media with name «synchro». In this folder, copy your files and add a
number at the start of the filename.
Create folder
synchro
insert files :
