We had to do something similar couple of years ago in a smaller scale (4 machines) and solved it by creating an app with OpenFrameworks that listened to OSC messages. That was controled by a PD patch, but this could have been anything else that sends OSC (python, C++, supercollider ...).
we used laptops and old computers which proved to be a problem since all systems and hardware were slightly different and had different time responses when opening the video, once the OSC message to open had arrived. Funnily enough the fastest machine to open the video was an old laptop running XP. So I believe raspberry could be great, that way all machines and OSs should be identical. At the time raspberry had just came out and it was unclear if it could run the kind of videos we needed to use (pretty good quality), now we know it does play them. So if I would have to do it again I would try to use raspberry
good luck

I'm really not familiar with video, but a project I'm working on requires 20 different video outputs, all synced together. I'm using PD for the project. Consideration of the expenses apart, does anyone know what kind of hardware we would need for this?
Many Thanks Peiman
