Allows for a smooth-scrolling ticker to be displayed across multiple screens. The master leader screen is designated as the instance with the rightmost offset of all the players in the multiscreen array; all PushString() and Show() calls (as well as any other changes) must be made on the master leader instance. Slave Follower instances of the text widget will remain blank until the master leader starts. This method requires the following parameters:

  • offset: The offset (in pixels) of the display in the multiscreen array. For example, using an offset of 1920 in a two-screen array of 1920x1080 screens would specify this player as the right-hand (masterleader) display.
  • size: The total width (in pixels) of the multiscreen array. For example, defining a size of 3840 would specify a two-screen array of 1920x1080 screens.
  • ip_address: A string specifying the multicast IP address for the PTP synchronization process (e.g. "239.192.0.0")
  • port: A string specifying the multicast port for the PTP synchronization process (e.g. "1234").
