Use Media end to start a separate presentation?

I have a single XT1144 and 7 pieces of content, 5 of which are videos.

Only 1 video will play at a time I have 6 presentations with the content set up correctly for my video wall and would like to load the next presentation on the media end.

Is this possible, or am I missing something obvious?

    It is possible

    Declare presentations here

    Switch to presentation with command in your media end event

    With that said, managing content in multiple presentations might get too complex. It is worth making an effort and attempt to combine all content into a single presentation if applicable...

    Thank you, 

    That worked perfectly, but I'm curious if I can only use one presentation; using multiple presentations causes a flicker before changing content.

    As mentioned, I have 5 different videos, and I think it's only possible to add 2 zones for videos; however, I need at least 3 zones: left, right, and fullscreen.

    To make matters worse, each of the five videos is a different length, and I'd need images to sync with the different videos and display different zones for multiple layouts that could change on the media end. Eventually looping back again

    I think the separate presentations are the simplest way to achieve this, but I would love to be proven wrong on this one, as it doesn't seem like the cleanest solution currently.

    Switching presentation would be my last resort after exhausting all other options.

    A single presentation might be harder to put together but I think it would be worth the effort in the long run.

    Sounds like you don't wish to take the HTML5 route...

    Mosaic Mode might be helpful here, depending on the model you are using.

    Layout can be changed on-the-fly using commands such as Resize Zone

    As well as Hide Zone and Show Zone.
