New to Raspberry Pi #35

Hi, I am new to Raspberry Pis and desperately need your help! I'm looking to sync two videos on two separate screens. They will be looped continually in a gallery space for an exhibition.

A few questions:

  1. Is syncing still possible with 2x Model A+'s along with 2 USB to Ethernet adapters? Something like this: http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/product.php?id=413965
  2. Looking at the video you attached of the PocketVJ, is this also absolutely necessary for syncing?

Thank you so much.

Syncing should be possible with 2x model A+'s without USB to ethernet adapters, as the Rasperry's already provide ethernet ports. You don't need the PocketVJ product for syncing. PocketVJ is a full featured product that uses omxplayer-sync as the default media player.
