There is no limit to the number of clients. Each client “listens” to the server and subtly adapts its movie playback speed to stay in sync. The server plays a movie and also sends position information over the network. Those systems are fantastic, but MultiScreener provides synchronized multi-channel video playback using commodity computer hardware.

I wanted an artist-friendly alternative to the expensive combo of industrial DVD players ( Pioneer DVD-V7400, DVD-V5000) and Dave Jones Design sync boxes. It is intended for multi-channel video art, video walls, trade shows, and digital signage. (It can also sync multiple movies on the same computer using multiple monitors.) MultiScreener is a set of free applications that synchronize the playback of Quicktime movies on multiple computers, using a local network to tie them all together.
