Type:<\/strong> Software\u00a0
Status:<\/strong> Beta<\/p>

Tech Stack: <\/strong>Python, PyQt\/Qt, mpv, PyYAML, psutil (optional)<\/p>

Problem Statement<\/strong><\/p>

Exhibitions, events, and storefronts frequently need multiple screens with rotating, synchronized content. Existing digital signage solutions are either cloud-based, expensive, or lack support for custom Python applications as content sources. Simultaneously controlling different media types (videos, images, webcam, generative art) across multiple monitors with seamless transitions typically requires manual per-screen configuration.<\/p>

Description<\/strong><\/p>

A flexible system for simultaneously driving multiple screens with diverse content \u2014 images, videos, webcam feeds, and custom Python apps (particles, Matrix effect, Game of Life, Perlin noise, system monitor, and more). Supports automatic screen detection, weighted\/random\/sequential rotation with seamless transitions (prelaunch overlap, blackout transitions), screen subsets, role-based layouts, and configurable timing via YAML.<\/p>

Use Case<\/strong><\/p>

Drive multiple screens simultaneously with rotating content \u2014 for exhibitions, events, or storefronts.<\/em><\/p>
