Video Syncstarter
Introduction
In the video art field there are many artworks requiring the real-time synced playback of audio/video.
We develop free and open source digital video syncstarter software to distribute and exhibit multi-channel video artworks requiring synced playback of multiple videos on multiple screens.
The tradition of developing syncstarter tools derives from the earlier activities of René Coelho in Amsterdam (Montevideo); Since 2005 syncstarter development activities in the Artlab are running to continue the artisanal tradition of syncing videos using computers, emphasizing the freedom to share and re-use the digital code we produce: all our software is licensed as free and open source (GNU General Public License), packaged and published using readable and well established standards.
Since the early years of its development, our digital video syncstarter software was used to exhibit video installations of Linda Wallace, Calin Dan, Peter Bogers, Erwin Olaf, Sami Kallinen, Lydia Schouten, Julika Rudelius, Magnus Monfeldt, Broersen & Lukacs and other artists distributed and exhibited by NIMk.

Support
This software comes AS IS, in the hope it will be useful but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY (see GNU General Public License): you can download, study, modify, setup and use it as you wish.
Our staff offers support, ad-hoc setup and shipping of video installations packaged in easy and solid "one button" ON/OFF PC solutions.
We can also assist the installation of your own sync-starter, provide easy to install solutions studied for your hardware, wherever you are, and short operational instructions to configure your video playlists.
If you are interested in hiring us for such a support, contact Jaromil via e-mail with details about your setup.
