Since 2005 we release and mantain the free and open source software
that we use to distribute multi-channel video artworks.
More information on our R&D deparment: http://nimk.nl/eng/research

The digital video syncstarter software is developed and employed by
NIMk to provide synced playback of multiple videos on multiple
screens.

In the video art field there are many artworks requiring the real-time
synced playback of audio/video: HDSync provides such a functionality
for HD decoders, to sync HD video playback on multiple devices.

HDSync is been developed in-house at NIMk on a specific hardware
configuration: WD HD Live players running B-Rad's WDLXTV firmware,
something artists themselves can afford for approx 100EUR on the
consumer market.

** Development in progress

This release can synchronise the playback of multiple channels
(virtually unlimited) on the same local network: hdsync can
automatically handshake and start playing in sync, restoring the sync
at every loop. Empirical tests show an error margin of 10-15 frames,
with further development we aim to achieve frame exact sync.

** Support and warranty

The purpose of this release is to make the project open source to
allow collaboration with developers interested: we release HDSync as
free and open source (GNU GPL v3) in the hope it will be useful, but
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.

And in case you find it useful, we are happy to know!
