Sync Playlists on different Layouts using the Content Synchronisation Key.
Displays first need to be assigned to a Sync Group:
Click on Sync Groups under the Displays section of the main CMS menu.
Select the Add Sync Group button.
Sync Groups can be saved to Folders to easily control User/User Group levels of interaction for Displays as well as provide an additional way to organise.
All Displays in a Sync Group need to communicate using their LAN IP address over TCP on the publisher port specified. This is defaulted to 9590 but can be changed if that port is reserved.
We recommend using a wired network and high-powered similar devices for the best Synchronisation.
On saving use the Manage Membership form to select which Displays to include in this Group.
NOTE: A Display can only belong to one Sync Group at the same time.
On saving use the Edit form use the drop down to select which Display should be the Lead Display for the Sync Group.
Click to Save
Content can now be scheduled to the Sync Group by clicking Schedule from the main CMS menu and selecting the Add Synchronised Event button.
Edit / Manage Membership
Manage a Sync Group by using the row menu:
Select Edit to set an alternative Lead Display
Select Members to manage which Displays are members of the group.
