Newbie BrightSign Control Questions

I've been searching the forum but have not been able to find some easy answers to my questions.  If this has been answered please point me to the right information.

  1. What software can I use to send UDP commands from Windows 7?
  2. What software can I use to send UDP commands from Mac OS X (Lion 10.7.3)
  3. Will the BrightSign 210 or 210w cross-fade or dissolve 2 video clips?
  4. I want to pause a video at random then play the next video in my playlist at the push of a button.  Will there be black on the screen during that 'transition'?  Is there a way to do a smooth transition for this?
  5. What is the latency between pressing a 'Play' button and the video appearing on screen, assuming my first frame of video is not black?  Is it the same when I have 9 synced together?

I plan to provide 9 synchronized units for a large display array.  Here's how the video presentation is going to play out if I can figure it out:

Attract video loop -> (pause) -> First video (play) -> First video (pause) -> Second video (play) -> Second video (pause) -> Third video (play) -> Attract video loop ->

I plan to trigger an HD1010 with a GPIO board and have the 1010 send out the commands to all the slaves.  Problem is, I don't know what the video looks like when I do this because I do not have a 1010 in front of me, that's why I'm asking about the UDP commands from a computer.

Any input would be helpful.  My apologies if this is elementary information that I've just skipped somehow.

Thanks.

    14 days and you still don't get an answer ? ? ?

    This new forum really sucks big time !

    You can send UDP commands to your Brightsigns from your iPhone search for an Alcorn McBride UDP App.

    Alternatively, write an App in VB for your PC.

    No you can' cross fade two video clips.

    There is always black while a new clip loads.

    Quickest I have been able to reduce latency is 300Millisecs with an elementary stream
