Overview
:
This
MxM can be used to synchronize Video playback on several
PCs which run the Medialon Local Media Player MxM.
For
example, several slave PCs running the Medialon Local
Media Player MxM can play video files in sync when slaved
to another PC running the Medialon Sync Master MxM. Transport
commands (Play, Pause, Stop, Locate) and master position
are sent from a Medialon Sync Master device to slaved
Medialon Local Media Player devices over a TCP/IP network.
Note that the same PC can host both the Medialon Sync
Master MxM and the Medialon Local Media Player MxM.
