MultiScreener - 0.93b

MultiScreener is a set of freeware applications that synchronize the playback of Quicktime movies on multiple computers, using a local network to tie them all together.

It is intended for multi-screen video walls, multichannel art installations, and the like. (It's an alternative to Pioneer DVD Players and expensive synchronizer hardware.) There are two applications: Server and Client. The server plays a movie and sends position information over the network. Each client compares its position to the server's and changes its playback speed to compensate.

Looping is available, and all settings are automatically saved for unattended startup. MultiScreener can output to the computer screen in fullscreen mode, or to external video devices like firewire DV. There is no native resolution or frame-rate, so all Quicktime video formats are supported equally.
