To synchronize videos across players in BrightAuthor:connected, you must ensure that both the presentation video zones and the player clocks are synchronized (these principles are the same BrightAuthor).

Synchronizing Presentation Zones

To make videos synchronize inside video zones in a BrightSign player, you must create a Link Synchronize message in a leader video zone and create an event to that will listen for that message . Once this is established, the synchronization message can be received by the video zones that are listening for that message in the Synchronize Event. To synchronize video players that are on the same local network, you need to create two presentations. The leader presentation must have a presentation setting that defines that player as a synchronization leader, and the other presentations must be set as followers. Then all presentations will be able to sync accurately based on the clock and video player sync settings. in follower zones. To do this:

Creating the Leader Presentation Zone

1. Create the leader presentation (make with your content and zones. Make sure to toggle Interactive on the top right).

2. Add a Timeout event to the content you want to display first, then drag that event to the other content in the presentation.

3. In Event Properties > Advanced, select Add Command.

4. Select the Link command and select Synchronize.

   

5. Toggle the down arrow to enter a Keyword. This keyword will be used to trigger follower players to start displaying display content.

6. In Presentation Settings > Interactive > Synchronization, select Enable enhanced synchronization and choose Master. This will enable synchronization of player clocks.

7. Publish Save the presentation.

Creating the Follower Presentation Zone

1. Create the follower presentation(make sure to toggle to Interactive on the top right)s) with your content and zones.

2. Add a Synchronize event to the content you want to display first, then drag that event to the other content in the presentation.

   

3. In the Event Properties pane, under Specify synchronization keyword, enter the Keyword you selected in step 5, above.

4. Select Save and use the following section to synchronize the clocks of the players that will display your presentation.

Synchronizing Presentation Clocks

To synchronize clocks in multiple video players on the same local network, the leader presentation must have a presentation setting that defines that player as a synchronization leader, and other presentations must be set as followers. To do this:

1. Select the leader zone in your presentation. It may be helpful to include “Leader” and “Follower” in the zone names.

2. In Presentation Settings > Interactive > Synchronization, select Enable enhanced synchronization and choose Slave Master.

3. Add a synchronize event to listen for the Keyword you selected in step 5, above.

4. Select a follower zone in your presentation.

5. In Presentation Settings > Interactive > Synchronization, select Enable enhanced synchronization and choose Slave.

6. Do this for all the follower zones in your presentation, then Save and Publish. You can also select Save as and Publish the presentation with a different name for additional players (for example “Player 3 follower presentation”)

And by receiving the Sync message in the video state of Slave (Follower) zone(s).

Note about XC5 Players

Since XC5 players have multiple outputs, the presentation clock does not need to be synchronized unless you are playing a presentation from multiple XC5 players or an XC5 player and another type of BrightSign player.

You will need to create leader and follower zones in BAcon. Add BrightAuthor:connected presentations by adding a sync command that gets triggered by the word start. If you are playing videos on one Raptor player, you don’t have to sync the clocks in Presentation Settings > Interactive > Synchronization. Only needed if sync between multiple XC5 playersa keyword.
