Just bought a Brightsign HD2000 and want to sync a video with two brightsign HD210. I did the sync there with brightauthor. But how do i get the same video in sync on the HD2000. Is there an example script? Thanks!! flxbot

  I don't think this is going to work. It's possible to do this through scripting. But, the ideal format for sync is transport streams, which the hd2000 doesn't support. Additionally, the units have different hardware so they start videos at different speeds. Unless it's not important how much difference there is between the 2000 and the other units, this isn't going to be in sync.

  Thanks Lyndon for the fast reply and for the explanation!
  
  For my case its ok to have a little difference between the units. Can you give me a hint how to do the scripting?

  THis is a master and slave script for the compact units. It includes a readme file.  I'm looking for a script for the HD2000 but we might do the HD2000 part with a csv file.
  
  We might need to set the IP address on the hd2000, but I'm not sure. Try these files. ON the hd2000, you'll need a blank image called blank.jpg, and the assumption is the video is called video.ts, on all three units.

  Great, sounds promising.
  
  I am sorry to bother you again... Works fine for the 210. How do i set the IP of the HD2000, i could not find a documentation for this. And also the screen resolution. Could you prepare a script for me? Would be a big help. Thanks!

  For the resolution on the hd2000 you can insert a row at the top of the csv file like this:
  
  videomode 1280x720x60p
  
  The string is in the leftmost cell, and the resolution in the adjacent cell. Keep in mind that the units don't support all the same resolutions. ON the support site, under software downloads, there's a script for manually setting the IP address of the hd2000 under the legacy products section.

  I tried the whole day, but i didn't succeed.
  
  If i use the event "udp:ply" or any other udp-event, i get only a black screen.
  
  This plays fine:
  
  IMAGEMODE,2,
  VIDEOMODE,1280x720x60p,
  UDPRECEIVERPORT,7000,
  ,,
  ,,
  EVENTS,,videoend
  STATE,video1.mpg,video2.mpg
  STATE,video2.mpg,video1.mpg
  
  This doesn't play, not even the first video:
  
  IMAGEMODE,2,
  VIDEOMODE,1280x720x60p,
  UDPRECEIVERPORT,7000,
  ,,
  ,,
  EVENTS,,udp:ply
  STATE,video1.mpg,video2.mpg
  STATE,video2.mpg,video2.mpg
  
  
  I use the HD2000, Firmware v2.0.94, autorun.bas v2.0.43
  
  My files on the card:
  video1.mpg
  video2.mpg
  autorun.bas
  autoplay.csv
  
  ...what am i doing wrong? thanks for your help
