Timecode.
Is there any plans or have you guys toyed with the idea of adding either an external timecode controller or building it into a model of player?

Can you explain more about how this would work? It's possible to manually send out time codes over serial or udp. Do you mean timecodes during playback for synchronization?
You can add timer events to a video or audio file, and then the brightsign could send information over the serial or udp port when those timers in the video are reached. -

Using LTC (timecode over audio) for sync. For example. the Brightsign could read the timecode and when it sees say
00:00:01:00 to play a video.
or to use for video sync.
Mainly timecode in general (Basiclly makes the player frame accurate). -

We are investigating frame accurate synchronization. We've made some improvements to sync on the compacts to speed up how quickly files open. The sync works well currently.
The current sync has been used to sync multiple screens showing fluid movement from one screen to another and back and forth, without any hiccups. -

We are using brightsign HD units using the UDP sync and it's working very good! But first of all you have to know how to create the content that will be shown synchronized. When you think about full hd (1920x1080) some settings are important to get the best sync result. Seamless looping is no problem for brightsign and when you have videos started they don't have to be re-synchronized with a timecode. The constant value of 25 frames per second (Germany) is perfectly save with brightsign. So the start trigger over UPD works fine and the videos can run for days without re-synchronizing. We have tested it! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
