: A network based sync-starter for multi-channel HD Video
: by Denis Roio aka Jaromil
:
: http://syncstarter.org
The digital video syncstarter software is developed by the
Montevideo/NIMk Artlab to provide synced playback of multiple high
definition videos on multiple screens.
In the video art field there are many artworks requiring the real-time
synced playback of audio/video: HDSync provides such a functionality
for HD decoders, to sync HD video playback on multiple devices.
More information on our R&D deparment: http://nimk.nl/eng/research
** Usage and compatibility
HDSync only works on a specific hardware configuration: WD HD Live
players running B-Rad's WDLXTV firmware, something artists themselves
can afford for approx 100EUR on the consumer market.
** Development in progress
This release can synchronise the playback of multiple channels
(virtually unlimited) on the same local network: hdsync can
automatically handshake and start playing in sync, restoring the sync
at every loop. Empirical tests show a current error margin of 1 to 3
frames, with further development we aim to achieve frame exact sync.
** Documentation
A user manual is online at http://ftp.dyne.org/hdsync/hdsync_manual.pdf
More documentation is included inside the doc/ directory
** Building from source
In order to compile HDSync you need to use a MIPSEL toolchain (like
the one provided by Emdebian) and use it to compile this software:
./configure --host=mipsel-linux-gnu is the correct target
However, ready to use binaries (hdsync.app.bin) are provided on
http://ftp.dyne.org/hdsync
** Support and warranty
The purpose of this release is to make the project open source to
allow collaboration with developers interested: we release HDSync as
free and open source (GNU GPL v3) in the hope it will be useful, but
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.
In case you need assistance to setup your own HD sync-starter, you can
contact us and ask a quote, see details on
