Seamless Multi-Screen Synchronisation with AnySignage Sync Group
There are situations where users have multiple screens nearby and require synchronised playback, ensuring all screens display the same content at the same time.
AnySignage introduced Sync Group to address this need and provide a seamless solution.
Note: This feature is available only on Android players using AnySignage version 4.
Steps to set up Sync Group:
- From the Display Management menu, select Sync Groups and add a new Sync Group.
- Select the displays to include in this group.
- Choose which display will act as the Lead Display.
- Save the Sync Group.
- From Schedule, select Add Synchronised Event and assign content to the Sync Group.
Important Notes:
- Network Readiness: All displays in a Sync Group must communicate using their LAN IP addresses over TCP on the publisher port. The default port is 9590, but this can be changed if needed.
- Recommended Setup: For the best synchronisation, use a wired network and high-powered, similar devices.
- Group Membership: Each display can only belong to one Sync Group at a time.
