How do I program a video presentation delay through shared monitors?
I am looking for a decent programmatic approach to deliver the illusion "on horseback". Here's a quick overview:
I have a friend who opens a bar in San Francisco with a room interior designed to look like the inside of a van (image inside the Mystic Machine Scooby Doo). There are "windows" in the walls and monitors behind them. There are two servers (left and right) that provide simultaneous presentations from pre-recorded video footage of a vehicle moving on the road.
At the moment, the screens are divided into a common work area, as elements in the background move from right to left, the impression of movement is impeccable. However, once you move the screens apart, there is no lag for empty "wall space" or the natural lag you would expect as an object progresses from one screen through the wall space to the next screen.
Is there a managed code approach I could use to create a project that could take a time delay argument to deliver content between monitors in this case? Or is there even a ready-made program that can do the trick as well?
EDIT:
What I'm really looking for is advice on how to program this: Can I load into a Windows media file and stream it to separate monitors with separate threads with little latency?
