Displaying Motion Graphics on TV Monitors?
hello all,
im not sure where to turn for such a question, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. i have recently created some looping videos in AE for a client of mine and wanted to display these on the LCD monitor inside their shop. the loops are basically spinning logos with basic background effects that spice up the place when the tv monitor is idle. i then came across something like this at a local bar, https://www.barflynetworks.com/demo.html, and thought that this would be cool too. without having to purchase service from anybody, is there any kind of software to be purchased that can have similar results? i dont need any fancy trivia or advertisements run, just something to split the monitor and display two feeds. any suggestions/ideas? sorry if this is not the right forum for this, but i have nowhere else to look anymore. thanks in advance! -

There are different options, from the cheap side, making a looping DVD with first play enabled and using some cheap players on a simple AC outlet timer, to the hard-disk-based MPEG players used in lots of retail signage and POP displays and such. Maybe the guys in the Live/stage forum could point you to soem platforms, I know of one by DOREMI, there are others.
Basically it’s just a DVR that plays back clips on a timer schedule instead of recording them. IF the video files you made are larger than can be seen on just one monitor, which is kind of what I think I understand from your description, you’re going to need some more sophisticated and expensive playback synching technology like WINGS or similar systems. Again, the live-stage forum guys know this stuff pretty well, its their stock in trade, so ask over there after giving them a detailed description of the video files you want to show. They’ll likely point you to an effective solution.
