Sync 3 players and choose which video to play with GPIO buttons

I need to sync 3 HD225 players, and use 2 GPIO buttons to choose 1 of 2 videos to play.  I want to have an attract loop, then choose 1 of 2 videos using GPIO buttons, and the videos are both 3 projectors wide which is why I also need the sync.

I have been able to one or the other but not both.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,

    It sounds like you're working on a pretty interesting project! Syncing multiple HD225 players and using GPIO buttons to control video playback can be a bit tricky, but I think I can help you out.

    Here's a high-level approach to achieve your goal:

    Attract Loop: Set up an attract loop on all three HD225 players to display a looping video until a button is pressed.

    GPIO Buttons: Configure the GPIO buttons to trigger different actions. For example, GPIO Button 1 could start Video A, and GPIO Button 2 could start Video B.

    Synchronization: To sync the three players, you can use a master-slave setup where one player acts as the master and sends synchronization signals to the other two players.

    Video Playback: Ensure that both videos are set up to play across all three projectors. You might need to use software like Resolume Arena to manage the video slices and ensure they are properly aligned.

     

    Best regards,

    Thanks Teresa.  I already understand what needs to happen, as you described.  It is getting it to work correctly that is my problem.  Any chance you can send me sample presentations for the Master & Follower?
