hi
I need to have several video outputs that run in sync. A friend who works in a art exhibition space told me there would be couple of solutions for this but both involve buying pretty expensive equipment like special DVD players.
I thought then that a solution for this issue could be to have several computers on a local network playing video (with GEM) and synchronise them via OSC. But I dont have any experience doing such a thing, never used OSC for anything similar. Also I dont have a clue about how to synchronise together videos.
Has anyone done anything similar? any experiences to share?
yes. we used a dual-head machine (actually it was a quad-head, so we had plenty of space for editing...) running a single gemwin covering both screens and 2 [pix_film]s that were controlled by the same counter.
since Gem allows you frame-accurate access, the 2 videos were in perfect synch.
