Synchronizing multiple digital signage displays ensures seamless content delivery across various screens, enhancing brand messaging and audience engagement. PosterBooking’s robust features make syncing displays easy and efficient.

Follow these steps to synchronize multiple screens using PosterBooking digital signage.

Step 1: Set Up Each Screen

1. Connect Each Screen to PosterBooking:
   • For smart screens, download the PosterBooking app directly.
   • For regular screens, connect them using a Fire Stick or similar device and install the app.
2. Add Screens to Your Account:
   • Open the app, navigate to Screens, and click Add Screen.
   • Enter the unique code displayed on each screen into your account.
   • Assign a name to each screen (e.g., “Lobby Display 1,” “Conference Hall 2”).

Step 2: Upload and Organize Content

1. Navigate to the Content Section:
   • Go to the Content section and upload the videos, images, or other media you plan to display.
2. Create Playlists:
   • Combine multiple content pieces into playlists for rotation across screens.
   • Use descriptive names like “Holiday Promotions Playlist” or “Daily Menu Loop” to keep things organized.

Step 3: Group Displays for Synchronization

1. Create a Display Group:
   • In the Screens section, select the screens you want to synchronize.
   • Click Group Screens and name the group (e.g., “Main Storefront Displays”).
2. Assign a Shared Playlist:
   • Navigate to Playlists and assign the same playlist to all screens in the group.

Example: For a restaurant, you might create a “Lunch Specials” playlist and assign it to all dining area displays.

Step 4: Configure Playback Timing

1. Enable Synchronization:
   • In the Channels section, assign a synchronized channel layout for grouped displays.
   • Adjust playback settings to ensure all screens start content simultaneously.
2. Use Scheduling:
   • Schedule playlists to begin at specific times for precise synchronization, such as during peak shopping hours or event kickoffs.

Step 5: Test and Monitor Syncing

1. Preview the Sync:
   • Test the setup by playing the assigned playlist across all grouped screens.
   • Ensure there are no delays or mismatches in content playback.
2. Monitor Performance:
   • Use the PosterBooking dashboard to check playback logs and confirm synchronization across all displays.

Advanced Tips for Multi-Screen Synchronization

• Create Unique Groups: Assign screens to different groups based on location or purpose (e.g., “Outdoor Ads” vs. “In-Store Promotions”).
• Adjust Display Layouts: Use different layouts for vertical or horizontal screens while keeping content synchronized.
• Incorporate Live Feeds: Sync live feeds, such as social media updates or event coverage, for dynamic group displays.
