SyncPlay (Samsung TIZEN Video Wall)

SyncPlay links two or more Samsung TIZEN Commercial Displays to play video in perfect sync, creating a video wall. Only one presentation and one video per display is supported — if you need multiple videos, combine them into a single longer video.

SyncPlay is enabled from Presentation Properties, in the Properties tab of the Presentation Editor.


Requirements

  • Samsung TIZEN Commercial Displays

  • All units must be on a wired network

  • A network switch that supports IGMP

  • All videos must be the same length (e.g. 10 seconds)

  • All presentations must have SyncPlay enabled with the same SyncPlay ID


Setting Up a Video Wall

  1. Create a Sign and Presentation for each screen.

  2. Add a video to each presentation.

  3. In Presentation Properties, enable SyncPlay and assign the same ID to all presentations.

  4. Publish all signs.

The displays will begin playing and sync automatically.

Note: On the latest Samsung QM-Series units, SyncPlay video appears in front of all other layers. Any HTML, including dynamic text fields, will be hidden behind a SyncPlay video.


About IGMP

SyncPlay uses multicast networking. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) allows multiple devices to share one IP address so they all receive the same data simultaneously — this is what keeps the displays in sync. Confirm your network switch has IGMP support enabled before setting up a video wall.
