    Hi,

    Anybody have any ideas on how to play out three synched Prores files to three projectors? I have a bunch of media players that can do this but I’d have to knock down the files to H.264 which is not an option at this point.

    Any suggestions and insights greatly appreciated,

    Marc

    You could do this with a Sound Devices Pix 260 or an AJA KiPro. Tie them together with Cat5/6 and control synced playback with network controller via a browser.

    If you needed “closed to synced” you could probably do it with a Pix 220 or 240 and just hit play on them all at the same time. That would get you within a second or so.

    You could also use software like Playback Pro running from multiple machines using Simple Sync to start playback.

    The KiPro or Pix 260 would be my first choice.

    Hey there,
    You should look into Playback Pro.
