Synchronizing 5 HD1010 units– Suggestions?

I am interested in synchronizing 5 BrightSign HD1010 units.

The presentation of these units is as follows:

00:00:00 - 00:00:30 -- [autoplay] All displays (in sync) play the same video (called sample.mpeg)

00:00:31 - 00:00:40 -- Text appears to fly from one display to another. (at which point, the entire presentation restarts to 00:00:00)

My questions are
1.) What is the most efficient way to do this? GPIO or UDP?
2.) What can I reference to code this? (Is there an existing code around which I may model my script?)
3.) Are there any reference guides for a new Roku coder that you may suggest?

We would love to purchase more BrightSigns, but we require a this setup assistance first.

    1. You can do this over UDP or GPIO. GPIO would be the simplest.





    2. Is the 00 time based on the start of the video? So,  does the playback need to trigger off the time, or just the end of the video?



    3. On our support site, under user's guide, the object reference guide is a great resource for those that want to learn scripting on the brightsign. There are working examples included. The snake game is a great tool. There is sample code that shows how timers work, if you need this to be timed vs end of video.



    The way synchronization works is pretty simple. The master unit sends a signal when it's ready to play, and the slave unit waits for the signal to play.
