How to synchronize playback on multiple screens?

This guide explains how to synchronize the playback on multiple screens. It means that you can either play the same content (same playlist) simultaneously on multiple screens or you can synchronize the playback of different contents.

For contents to synchronize, you'll need to have (or have been set with) the same duration and use zebrix version 3 software player (info here) Please note that we also recommend using similar models of device to avoid de-synchronization due to CPU performance/latency that is different from one model to another (exemple : i5 is faster than Celeron CPU, content will be displayed a few milliseconds earlier).

You need to create a synchronization group

  • Select screens you want to add to a synchronization groupe
  • Create a new synchronization group or select an existing one
  • Select the group to which you want to add selected screens

Create one or multiple playlists

At this point, whatever identical content (or different but having the same duration) you'll send to these screens will automatically been synchronized

If you want to display the same exact content on multiple screen, you just have to schedule the same playlist on the screens that you want to synchronized (and which has been previously added to the same synchronization group). Job done!

If you wan to synchronize different content, you'll need to create different playlists (one per screen), each must have same duration structure, example:
