Benefits of a Synchronized Playlist
A synchronized playlist ensures that all of the displays or zones rotate the selected content at the same time. This is particularly beneficial when you have multiple displays in different sizes, multiple zones, or double-sided displays that must be synchronized. Content Synchronization provides your viewer with a seamless and tailored experience that matches their interests and your on-site layout requirement and your onsite structure needs. When Synchronized playlists are in use, they will take priority over other playlists. Make sure you are using only one Synchronized playlist to a group of displays and make all other standard playlists inactive for the best results.
Examples of When to Use a Synchronized Playlist
The criteria for when you should use a Synchronized playlist is this: you have multiple displays at your location, the need for in sync exposures, and you want full control of the rotation. So, whether you have a wide spread of displays, pylons, or LCDs for a venue, mall, or building, Synchronized playlists can help you! If you have a network of interior displays that rotate content based on their location within a building, synchronized playlists enable you to ensure that each display is in perfect harmony with related content. A set of pylons outside of your business or stadium can promote, and direct consumers around your property without each display changing exposures at random times. Perhaps, you have or want a group of uniquely shaped displays to fit around a structure. By using Synchronized playlist, you can make your displays become a staple art piece in your community by making sure each piece of content comes together seamlessly.
*Keep in mind that synchronized playlists do not need to play the same content files, but something that is related to its surrounding displays. This will mainly be used when you have different sized displays requiring different file sizes, or directional needs*
